Foreword
Students of English realize very early on in their learning career that prepositions present a problem. They collocate with nouns. adjectives. past participles, and verbs, without rules or logic. Students simply have to learn that interested is followed by in, and good is followed by at. and go home has no preposition. Multi-word verbs, or phrasal verbs as they are often referred to, present a very special problem. English can make verb and particle (preposition or adverb) combinations easily and freely. The word particle has been used throughout this book, in order to avoid having to make the adverb/preposition distinction (to most students. the word after the verb in a multi-word verb is always a preposition). Multi-word verbs exist throughout the language. They express everyday actions such as Turn on the light: they can also have a variety of meanings such as Things worked out well. W e worked out the problem. She worked out in the gym, I've never been able to work him out. and The find price works out at f 10. Given the complexity of the area. the surprise is that learners are very keen to master it. They seem to sense that multi-word verbs are a vital component of English, and spoken English in particular. There is also the feeling that an understanding of common idioms will increase their comprehension, though most students instinctively avoid trying to produce them. The best time to address these areas is at upper-intermediate and advanced levels, when students already have a certain grammatical and lexical foundation. This book goes a long way to helping students to unravel the complexity of multi-word verbs, preposition and adverb collocations. and idiomatic expressions. Students will find staged guidance in understanding the systems, and are given a variety of exercise practice in recognition and production. Phrasal Verbs and Idioms will find its place in self-access centres, for learners to study on their own: and teachers will welcome the texts, listenings, explanations, and exercises. which hare clear aims and are highly accessible for thorough classroom exploitation.

Introduction
Who this book is for
This book is for students who are studying Headway Upper-Intermediate or any other coursebook at a similar level. It can also be used by students who are preparing for Cambridge FCE examinations. The materials in each unit are organized around themes such as work, health. holidays, accommodation, family relationships, etc. The units are relatively free-standing and can therefore be used to supplement existing coursebooks. The book is also designed to provide students with an idea of how multi-word verbs work. so there is some advantage in working through the units systematically. Some of the later units recycle multi-word verbs used in earlier units. The book contains over 200 multi-word verbs. They have been selected according to the theme of each unit, as well as level of difficulty and usefulness. Four main types of multi-word verb are introduced, and various types of practice exercises are provided for consolidation work.

HOW to use the book

2

To the teacher Use the Introductory unit before any other units in the book. This should take about 45-60 minutes of classroom time. All the remaining units contain enough material for approximately 60-90 minutes of teaching. The units follow a reasonably consistent pattern:
The Preparation section is designed as a brief lead in to the theme of the unit, not lasting more than five minutes. The Presentation is usually a listening or reading text, followed by an exercise in which multi-word verbs are matched with their definitions. The Drills provide controlled oral practice of the new multi-word verbs. but they can also be used as prompts for later revision work, or written controlled practice. The Practice section gives students the opportunity to use the multi-word verbs to talk about their own experiences and ideas. There are also practice exercises for prepositions and idiomatic expressions. How multi-word verbs work deals with the systems of multi-word verbs and the meaning of some particles.

What's the answer? is designed to check that students have understood the important differences between a few multi-word verbs. It can be used as a game or revision activity. The Jokes provide some light relief. They are related to the theme of the unit and illustrate some humorous uses of multi-word verbs. The Writing section provides further written consolidation of the language covered in the unit. It is important that students are given some activities for revising the multi-word verbs they learn in the book. One simple rellsion activity is to put students into pairs and tell student A to read the definitions of some the multi-word verbs while student B says what the multi-word verb is. Alternatively, some multi-word verbs can be put into a 'Find someone who' activity as a warmer for the start of a lesson (e.g. 'Find someone who sets off for school very early in the morning'). Students can be asked to act out some of the dialogues on the tape, and their spoken or written errors with multi-word verbs can be used in a Grammar Auction game. To the student working independently Read and listen to the presentation reading and listening texts. using the cassette and the tapescripts. Then do the exercises which follow. Test yourself by listening and responding to the drills on the cassette. Alternatively, use the tapescript of the drills - you can cover up the answer and see if you produce the right response. Work through the written exercises in the book and check your answers in the Answer key. Find a friend to practise the spoken exercises with, or write out what you would say. Do the free writing activities and then find someone who can correct them.

What are multiword verbs?
Multi-word verbs are verbs that combine with one or two particles (a preposition and/or an adverb).
I'm looking for m y keys. Have you seen them? (verb + preposition)

Look out! There's a car coming! (verb + adverb)
A snob is someone who looks down on people of a lower social class. (verb + adverb + preposition)
If the addition of the particle(s) changes the meaning of the verb, it is usually called a phrasal verb because it has the meaning of a phrase. However, there are so many different types of phrasal verbs that it is easier to call all combinations of verb + particle(s) multi-word verbs.

Literal or non-literal meaning?

Literal meaning Look at the following example, where the verb and particle keep their separate literal meaning.
He looked up and saw a plane.

Here the meaning of the verb and the particle have not changed.
He looked up = He looked + up (in the direction of the sky).

Non-literal meaning Sometimes the addition of the particle(s) creates a multi-word verb that has a different meaning.
He looked up all the new words in the dictionary. In this sentence, look up = to h d information in a reference book.

The first three example sentences on this page all have multi-word verbs with non-literal meanings. Look at them and decide what they mean. to look for someone/something = to look out to look down on someone

Where Good Ideas Come from

...Good Ideas come from. After viewing a video by Steven Johnson, he had a belief that good ideas began in 1650 when the first coffee house opened in Oxford named the Grand Café’. He used the notion that prior to the coffee house opening, people would use alcohol regularly which caused a block for creating good ideas. Because of this opening of the coffee house, people would gather and share ideas under a more sobering condition. As Steven Johnson stated, “It was a flowering of enlightenment.” People were not using alcohol as their depressant, but rather drinking coffee as a simulant which in turn equaled better ideas. There were discussions and debates on various topics. It was Kevin Dunbar who sought that ideas came from a conference room. “People often credit their ideas to be individual “Eureka” moments.” But what is an idea? Are they an object or a concept? Or are they visionary thoughts within one’s mind? There are always different views to one word. An idea is a term which “I think, serves best to stand for whatsoever is the object of the understanding when a man thinks.” Or an idea is “an image or representation, often but not necessarily in the mind.” David Hume described an idea as an “impression.” Then Immanuel Kant’s definition says “ideas may not be completely realized.” There are so many ways to view one word that one person cannot be certain. I know I am certain in my idea. I am not a good writer. 3 In Steven Johnson’s video, he uses a term called “The Slow...

Literature

...Tyree Snorgrass Mrs. Urbina AP Literature 1 October 2013 MacBeth Research William Shakespeare, the creator of the tragic story “MacBeth” uses a diverse set of allusions symbols, and figurative language examples throughout the work to enhance the different themes that are throughout the play. In, “MacBeth” there is many themes that are directed, one would be tragedy, and also, tyranny. From beginning to end, Shakespeare develops the meaning of the work by taking the reader through different scenarios and tossing allusions into the piece that help the plot and central theme of the story reveal. The world calls “MacBeth” one of Shakespeare’s grand plays and have been recognized internationally, the play contains symbols like blood, to further identify the massacres and the murders that MacBeth has been continuing to commit throughout the play. The meaning of the work is developed more intensely with this symbol because blood is viewed as gory and horror, and that is what the play eventually moves to. Moving into the act 2, while the tragic hero Macbeth suffers from a flaw that has been growing and growing immensely within himself, a personal and also a self-oriented error that is purely the fault and mistake of the character, Macbeth is now the victim of an external force. The external force is fate, a fate that has been introduced by the prophecy, supported by the weird and demanding sisters, and reinforced urgently by Lady Macbeth.

Values and Ethical Decision Making

...and Ethical Decision Making Learning Team A Kevin Davis, Desmond Harris, David Stevens MGT 521 January 30, 2010 Richard Lewis Values and Ethical Decision Making Individuals and organizations make multiple decisions every day. Making decisions involves making a choice between two or more alternatives (Nickels, McHugh, & McHugh, 2010). Some of these choices are small, like what flavor of ice cream to buy, whereas other choices are big, like should a corporate executive take a bribe. Making ethical decisions is important for an organization’s success. An individual’s personal values and ethics help guide decision making. Organizational values also play a role in making decisions. Ethics awareness inventories help identify a person’s ethical perspective and how that perspective may conflict with organizational values to influence decisions. Values Evaluating personal values Norfolk Southern values can be evaluated through the individual actions, accomplishments, and achievements that have institutionalized the company’s commitment and many years of service. The personal leadership at Norfolk Southern developed the company’s long-term strategic formula for success in the railroad industry.

A Rose for Emily

...A Rose for Emily Author: William Faulkner Plot: The story is broken down in 5 sections. In section I, the narrator recalls the time of Emily Grierson’s death and how the entire town attended her funeral in her home, which no stranger had entered for more than ten years. Colonel Sartoris, the town’s previous mayor, had suspended Emily’s tax responsibilities to the town after her father’s death, justifying the action by claiming that Mr. Grierson had once lent the community a significant sum. As new town leaders take over, they make unsuccessful attempts to get Emily to resume payments. When members of the Board of Aldermen pay her a visit, in the dusty and antiquated parlor, Emily reasserts the fact that she is not required to pay taxes in Jefferson and that the officials should talk to Colonel Sartoris about the matter. However, at that point he has been dead for almost a decade. She asks her servant, Tobe, to show the men out. Section II: the narrator describes a time thirty years earlier when Emily resists another official inquiry on behalf of the town leaders, when the townspeople detect a powerful odor emanating from her property. Her father has just died, and Emily has been abandoned by the man whom the townsfolk believed Emily was to marry. As complaints mount, Judge Stevens, the mayor at the time, decides to have lime sprinkled along the foundation of the Grierson home in the middle of the night. Within a couple of weeks, the odor subsides, but the townspeople begin...

Much Ado About Nothing Play Analysis

...Much Ado About Nothing is one of William Shakespeare's classic comedies that manages to tie in not only many comedic and light-hearted moments through the witty Benedick, but also presents tragic themes as well through the 'death' of Hero. Furthermore, the play in general flowed well, making it easy to get absorbed into the characters and the conflicts presented. The points that really brought the play together for me was the selection in actors, both in skill and their ability to work as a unit for the finished product. The actors for the play, in my opinion, was very appropriately casted to fit each character quite nicely. Going into this completely blind, I found that it was especially easy to guess the relations between specific characters using their actions alone. For example, when Beatrice was hiding from Hero and the maid, she used her actions to portray listening in while also making it entertaining to watch. In conclusion, the directors choice in actors made the play work together....
