Those new phrasal verbs I mentioned in the video? Let's look at some more examples.
This is a flip card exercise, so CLICK or TAP on the images to turn them over!
Here's an example to get you started. How do you feel about exams?
Centre Around
Did you click on the picture yet? It's waiting to be clicked!
Remember, the thing in the centre is the main topic. The thing people care about the most.
- "British politics centres around Brexit. American politics centres around Trump."
- "His whole life centres around his girlfriend. She's all he talks about!"
The next flip cards are quotes from famous people. Can you guess what they will say?
Dive In
I've been thinking about making an online course for 3 years. I wish I'd dived in 3 years ago. I'd be the richest man on earth!
Set Out
"I set out to create the best Phrasal Verbs course for CAE students that could be completed in 7 days. And by the way - nailed it." Me.
"I set out hoping to get a passing grade, but I got an A and the examiner shook my hand after the Speaking Test." You.
"When Frodo set out from The Shire, he didn't know it would take 513 minutes." JRR Jackson

I don't know who this young lady is, but she's right. You can enjoy two different things. I was good at school and my clothes were just as fashionable as everyone else's. (We had school uniform.)
Spring Up
I don't think the exam will centre around astrophysics. But think of all the things that spring up - flowers, trees, new companies, new bands, new problems.
By the way, if he's right, that's an astonishing number of planets where life is possible! I wonder how many planets have phrasal verbs?
Okay, I hope this gave you some more ideas. Let's move onto the next session.
