interesting lesson for you i recently ran a poll on Facebook, I gave you three options

between three different videos that i could do for my next lesson, this lesson and the

winner by far was the option of phrasal verbs and i thought it would be you guys love your

phrasal verbs i mean you really love phrasal verbs.

its a little bit of a basic lesson but its still good everybody needs to know phrasal

verbs and for some people this might be quite an easy lesson for others it might be quite

challenging but i think I've got some of the most common phrasal verbs in this listening

practice.

after we’ve done the listening practice I’m going to explain all of the phrasal

verbs that i used and its also going to be useful for some of you doing the IETLS exam

because this topic, the morning routine that I’m going to talk about is something that

comes up a lot in the speaking part of the IELTS exam which is something i also teach

on Skype

so without further a do I’m gonna go and talk about my morning routine not everybody

uses this many phrasal verbs but I’m trying to put as many in there as i can so you can

understand where we use phrasal verbs and how frequently they can be used, they are

so common. so I’m gonna try and get all of these phrasal verbs in here I've got a

big list in front of me I’m going to make it up as i go along so I’m going to create

it, improvise and lets hope its good! SO i hope you enjoy the lesson.

ok so I’m going to talk to you about my morning routine and generally it all starts

when i get up. so usually i get up at lets say 7:25 thats when i set my alarm anyway

it does depend if its a weekend on a weekend i usually have a bit of a lie in so i might

wake up a little bit later so i can relax a bit

so after i’ve woken up i usually get out of bed of course and run down the stairs and

then i go into my kitchen and sort out my breakfast of course

so it depends if i have an early Skype lesson what i have for breakfast if i have an early

Skype lesson ill probably just fix up a quick bowl of cereal, chop up some fruit and throw

it in there but if i don’t have an early Skype lesson and i feel like treating myself,

which i know we all do sometimes i might actually cook up some bacon and eggs and have a bit

of an english traditional fry up its a nice treat to have sometimes i would say

so usually when i have my breakfast ill probably switch on the tv and catch up with the recent

news thats on news on the tv and enjoy my breakfast

i do all this before i jump in the shower, clean myself and get ready for the day

i think I’m quite lucky because i work from home now a lot of people usually have to get

ready really fast and they have to jump in a car, hop on a bus or get on a train and

they have to get to their place of work on time, for me i just get to sit down on this

chair and teach lessons on Skype now theres a lot more to it, making youtube videos and

things like that but yeah i think I’m quite lucky but i do try and get out of the house

and get some fresh air when i can because i think thats very important i might also

go out and get some food in for the night, for dinner.

but yeah, that’s generally my morning routine, thats kind of how it works i think its quite

normal, similar to the sort of routine that most people have

I’m sure you probably noticed a lot of phrasal verbs in there and yeah that was a lot of

phrasal verbs so I’m going to actually explain all of these phrasal verbs now and hopefully

you will have a bit of a better understanding of how we can use phrasal verbs and maybe

you might learn some new ones in here also.

so it all starts when i get up and thats when you open your eyes and your day begins from

your sleep

now we had lie in, a lie in is when we sleep for longer. so maybe we don’t have anything

to do that morning so we have a lie in which means that we just sleep for longer. and english

people LOVE lie ins

wake up of course the same as get up really it just means to open your eyes and begin

your day

get out of bed that simply means to exit your bed

run down the stairs now i could have said walk down the stairs i could have said race

down the stairs i could have said jump down the stairs, whatever you want make it sound

as energetic as you want i said run because maybe I’m in a rush so you can do whatever

you want to make your way down the stairs in the morning or in the day whenever or up

the stairs of course

sort out my breakfast and this simply means just to prepare my breakfast. I can sort out

anything if i want to organise it and lets say prepare something

fix up, similar thing but this means to actually start doing it so i started fixing up my breakfast

which means i started doing it, doing the action of making it and creating it from scratch

from the beginning

chop up, this means to cut my food so i chopped up some fruit, quite self explanatory. you

chop it. we put up at the end and its more common than just saying chop a lot of the

time so up can sometimes be a really common thing even without it really doesn’t need

to be in the word or phrase necessarily

i said that i throw it in, i throw my fruit in and that just means I’m adding it throw

it in we like to be more exciting when we talk about things in english because we don’t

want it to sound boring. If i just said i put my fruit in my bowl it doesn’t sound

as energised and exciting as when i say that i throw it in so we say that a lot!

and i said i cook up or fry up a fry up is traditionally an english meal an english breakfast,

if you don’t know what it is then google english breakfast or english fry up and i

said i cook it up to cook up something means to cook something so its just the action we

just put up on the end don’t ask me why but its normal

switch on the tv quite self explanatory I’m sure you know this it just means to press

the power button and turn it on, as it were .

catch up with the news that simply means to stay up to date thats another thing we can

say, stay up to date and that just means to be up to now, to understand everything up

until now to be up to date!

jump in i jump in the shower, i could just say i get in the shower, but i wanted it to

sound a bit more exciting so i said that i jump in the shower with energy.

get ready for the day that simply means to get your clothes on, clean your teeth, to

get ready for the day you can get ready for a lot of things, its usually getting changed,

getting dressed, ok? Get ready!

then i started talking about people who have to jump in a car or jump on a bus, hop on

a bus, get on a train all these different things we can put whatever word we want in

the verb section before the preposition to make it sound more exciting

i often say that i jump in my car if I’m going to drive somewhere so its a good one

to think about then i say that people have to get to their place of work and that simply

means that they need to arrive they need to make the journey and arrive, they have to

get to its like saying to get somewhere

on time, that simply means to arrive there at the time that you need to be there, to

be punctual,. to arrive on time

and then i said that I’m lucky and i get to just sit in my char, that's what i get

to do and that means thats what I’m allowed to thats what i can do, I’m able to do this,

i get to just sit in my chair and work

get out of the house, same as get out of bed, it means to exit, to leave your house so i

get out of my house. this one's really common

get some fresh air, that simply means to breathe the air in breathe all the air around you

in and feel it get some fresh air outdoor air

and i also go out and get some food in, of course i get some food in. which usually we

say this when we get food from the outside from a shop and we get it in our house to

then cook for dinner later so someone might say have you got any food in yet and that

means do you have any ingredients and food ready to cook for your dinner tonight. so

food in, get your food in

and there you go

so i hope you found this list of phrasal verbs useful like i said for some people this is

quite basic for some people this is quite advanced but what i recommend is now that

I've taught you all of these phrasal verbs you’ve heard them hopefully you’ve written

them down and remembered them. now i recommend that you listen to my piece of speech again

that i just read out. and i recommend that you actually listen to those phrasal verbs

again, try and remember what i just explained and see how much better you understand them.

feel free to share your morning routine using as many phrasal verbs as you can in the comment

section below

now remember there’s loads of other phrasal verbs, there’s so many you can use some

of these ones that I've talked about have multiple meanings, but ive just taught you

in context here. so just in the context of talking about the morning routine.
