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 We worked out the problem, She worked out in the gym, I`ve never been able to work him out, and The final price works out at £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 books 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 have clear aims and are highly accessible for thorough classroom exploitation. John and Liz Soars Series editors Introduction Who this book is for How the book is organized This book is for students who are studying Headway Advanced or any other coursebook at a similar level. It can also be used by students who are preparing for Cambridge CAE or CPE examinations. The materials in each unit are organized around themes such as personal relationships, money, describing people, health, reviewing books and films, etc. The units are free-standing and can therefore easily be used to supplement a range of coursebooks. As with Phrasal Verbs and Idioms Upper-Intermediate, the book is designed to present multi-word verbs in context and illustrate how they are used. The book contains over 120 multi-word verbs. They have been selected according to the theme of each unit, as well as level of difficulty and usefulness. Practice exercises are provided for consolidation work. Idiomatic expressions which relate to the theme of the unit are also presented and practised. How to use the book 1 2 To the teacher We recommend you use the Introductory unit before any other units in the book. All the units contain enough material for approximately 90 minutes of classroom work. Units 1-10) follow a 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 Checking Understanding, an activity where the multi-word verbs introduced are matched with specially written definitions. The Drills provide controlled oral practice of the new multi-word verbs. They can be used after the Checking Understanding activity, or later, as revision. The drills can be played on cassette, or the teacher can read them aloud in class. The Practice section provides controlled and semi-controlled practice activities for the multi-word verbs introduced in the unit. There are also exercises designed to encourage students to explore the collocations of some multi-word verbs. This section includes practice exercises for idiomatic expressions. How multi-word verbs work provides practice in identifying the different types of multi-word verbs, and looks at the general meaning of some particles when used with certain verbs. The section What`s the answer? is designed to check that students have understood the important differences between some of the 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 sometimes illustrate humorous uses of multi-word verbs. The Speaking section is designed to provide freer practice of the new multi-word verbs and idiomatic expressions, and gives students the opportunity to use them to talk about their own experiences and ideas. It is sometimes connected to the writing task which follows. This section can be used in a subsequent lesson after students have had time to revise and absorb the new language in the unit. The Writing section provides further consolidation of the language covered in the unit, and is probably best set as homework. Unit 11 is an exception to this pattern. It deals exclusively with Proverbs. At the back of the book, the Tapescript is a useful reference point for students to consult. The Answer key provides answers to all the exercises, useful definitions for the idiomatic expressions, and helpful guidance on collocation. 3 It is important that students are given some activities for revising the multi-word verbs they learn in the book. The Drills section can be used, and a simple revision activity is for students in pairs to test each other using the definitions in Checking understanding. Some multi-word verbs and idioms can be used in a Find someone who... activity as a warmer at the start of a lesson. Pairs of students can devise clues for a multi-word verb crossword which can then be used to test other students. Students can be asked to act out some of the dialogues on tape, and their spoken and written errors with multi-word verbs can be used in a Grammar Auction game. To the student working independently 1 Read and listen to the presentation reading and listening texts, using the cassette and the tapescripts. Then do the exercises which follow. 2 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. 3 Work through the written exercises in the book and check your answers in the Answer key. 4 Find a friend to practise the spoken exercises with, or write out what you would say. 5 Do the free writing activities and then find someone who can correct them. ... - tailieumienphi.vn
