(Answers from last time: 1. travel, trips, trip, travel, voyage, travels; 2. Can you put me up for the night? Can you put up with me? Are you put off by these rings in my nose? Can I put my word in? Maybe I won’t put you out if I sleep on the sofa downstairs. You know I put off leaving for Cornwall in order to come and see you. I’ve been trying to put it simple. It doesn’t look as if I put it right.)
This will be the last article in this section. I found a new material for you: Total English (Antonia Clare, JJ Wilson). It’s ideal for those of you who want to improve your vocabulary and grammar. It has 10 units (Friends, Media, Lifestyle, Wealth, Spare time, Holidays, Education, Change, Jobs, Memories). Each unit focuses on vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, reading, writing, listening, followed by review and consolidation exercises.
The following exercises will be focusing on wealth:
A. Cross out the word/phrase that can’t follow the phrasal verb.
1. I broke up with my boyfriend/our relationship/my wife.
2. They dropped out of the lesson/college/school.
3. We had to work out the answer/what to do/quickly.
4. I picked up my errors/many skills/some vocabulary.
5. We ran out of time/life/money.
6. She caught up with her time/him/her work.
7. He ended up working here/in hospital/finally.
8. I don’t get on with him/my boss/my shoes.
9. They put up with the noise/the opportunity/the weather.
10. They knocked down the car/the wall/the house.
B. Find pairs of opposites in the box. Answer the questions using the words/expressions.
