EwaLESSON OVERVIEW
The main objectives of this advanced lesson on phrasal verbs are to:

Students also work with phrasal verbs about decisions and intentions, explore various situations and watch a video where people discuss a recipe.

Students complete gaps with words to form phrasal verbs (e.g. settle for, come in for) in pairs of statements. They then discuss colleagues’ workplace attitudes, deciding which behaviors they find annoying, helpful, or inconsequential. Students explaining why.
MAKING A DEAL
In this task of this advanced lesson on phrasal verbs, students look at definitions and think of possible phrasal verbs (e.g. bargain on, go back on, hammer out). They then listen to a recording to identify them in context. Afterwards, they describe situations using the phrasal verbs from the dialogue.
TALKING ABOUT CHANGES

TRIOS
In this activity, students complete trios of sentences about various situations with a phrasal verb (e.g. break up, take off, put off). The verbs might require different forms in each sentence.
MIXED PHRASAL VERBS
Students choose the correct phrase for sentences about decisions, intentions, and situations in daily life. They then complete sentences containing phrasal verbs with their own ideas (e.g. It dawned on me that…).
WORKING OUT THE MEANING OF PHRASAL VERBS
At this point in this advanced lesson on phrasal verbs, students watch a video and guess the meaning of ‘fold in’. Then, they explain other phrasal verbs (e.g. pan out, put out, while away) and match sentences to check their answers. Finally, students react to comments using the phrasal verbs.
