Hi. Welcome to this English lesson on phrasal verbs where I'm going to act out over
-
25 phrasal verbs.
-
By the way, act out is already your first phrasal verb for this video.
-
When you act something out, you use all of your skills to demonstrate through actions
-
what the word means.
-
So hopefully I can act out these verbs really, really well for you.
-
I think though, before we kick off this video, by the way, that's your second phrasal verb
-
already.
-
When you kick something off, it means that you start or begin it.
-

-
up.
-
So ever since I had heart surgery, I feel like it's very important to work out as much
-
as I can.
-
I usually lift some weights.
-
But when I work out, I also do some walking, and I do some running.
-
You want to be careful though when you're working out because if you work out too hard,
-
you might black out.
-
I'm okay.
-
So my friend Nao from China gave me this gift and I've been practicing quite a bit and
-
I thought today I would show off a little bit.
-
When you show off it's when you do something so that people will admire you.
-
So thanks a lot for this gift Nao.
-
The whole family has been playing with it a lot.
-
So this tire is a little bit flat so I need to pump up this tire.
-
In order to pump up this tire though, I need to bend over so I can reach down here and
-
I will put this on and I will pump up the tire.
-
I don't want to pump it up too much though.
-
If I put too much air in, the tire might blow up and we don't want that to happen.
-
So sometimes I need to pick things up that won't fit in my van.
-
When that happens, I need to hook up my trailer.
-
When I hook up my trailer, I can take it where I need to go and I can pick up really big
-
things.
-
So a couple of days ago we had a really bad wind storm and it knocked some branches off
-
this tree.
-
Some though, are still partially attached, so I'm going to have to cut off this branch
-
because it's dead.
-
Luckily though the tree is still alive.
-
I'm very happy about that because I certainly don't want to cut down the whole tree, so
-
I'm really happy the tree is still alive.
-
But when I look at this job, it seems like a lot of work.
-
I wonder if I should call up my brother and see if he can come and help.
-
I really hope though, when I'm cutting branches off this tree that there aren't any bees.
-
If there are, I might need to run away.
-
You know cutting branches off that tree was a lot of hard work.
-
I might just nod off for a little bit on this bench.
-
So sometimes we will have a hose across our driveway because we're watering flowers, but
-
we don't want anyone to drive across it.
-
So we will block off this area by putting a few things there that will stop people from
-
doing that.
-
Now the driveway is blocked off.
-
So is there someone you know that you want to cheer up?
-
Sometimes buying someone something, will cheer them up.
-
I highly recommend if you need to cheer someone up that you buy them flowers.
-
These are called lisianthus if you were wondering, and these certainly cheer people up.
-
Go kids go, run really fast.
-
Sometimes my kids have races and I like to cheer them on.
-
When you cheer on someone it means to give them encouragement for what they're doing.
-
Good job.
-
So Jen grows a lot of different kinds of flowers and every once in a while I come across a
-
flower that I didn't actually know that we grew.
-
This flower here, I think it's called a Cosmo.
-
It's really fun to sometimes come across new flowers out in the flower field.
-
Come on, hurry up, run, hurry up.
-
We need to get this video done fast because my kids want me to take them to the pool this
-
afternoon so I need to hurry up and I need to get this video done.
-
So sometimes at work we have events where we need to dress up, where we need to wear
-
clothes that are a little nicer than our everyday clothes.
-
Usually for a guy that means wearing a shirt and tie, but we have other days where we don't
-
have to dress up where we are allowed to ....
-
..dress down. Sometimes at work we have a dress down day where we're allowed to wear more casual clothes,
-
like a T-shirt.
-
When you dress down it means you wear clothes that are more casual than what you would normally
-
wear.
-
And if you're wondering, yes, almost every shirt I own has a little bit of blue in it
-
somewhere.
-
So the other day I threw my car keys in this box and now I have to go through this box
-
to see if I can find them.
-
I need to go through this box so that I can find my car keys.
-
So sometimes when my kids are outside having a snack, there will be a cat that will hang
-
around.
-
This cat's name is Tigger and this cat likes to hang around because it thinks that some
-
food might fall on the ground.
-
This store has a great coupon that lets me get 50% off my next purchase.
-
So I am going to cut out this coupon and I'm going to put it in my wallet.
-
Well it's lunchtime.
-
So I'm going to cut up some cucumber.
-
I like to eat cucumber every day, but I like to cut up the cucumber so that it's easier
-
to eat.
-
So after we use the flower pails once, we usually line up the pails to get ready to
-
wash them.
-
We need to wash the pails each time.
-
So it's nice to line up the pails so you know what order to wash them in.
-
So this is Jen's flower studio and we put these lights in to light up this area.
-
It used to be a little bit darker in here and it was hard to make bouquets and it was
-
hard to arrange flowers.
-
So this light works really well to light up the area where Jen has to work.
-
Well, hey that was 25 phrasal verbs acted out as best as I could.
-
I hope this English lesson helped you learn just a little bit more English that you can
-
use in your daily life.
-

Thanks for this gift Nao.
-
It's been a hit with my family.
-
Everyone has been playing with it.
-
And it's fun to kind of show off a little bit the trick, the one trick, that I know
-
how to do.
