Предисловие

Приветствую тебя, дорогой читатель!

Основное внимание в этом пособии уделено фразовым глаголам, ведь они играют ключевую роль в повседневном общении на английском языке. Многие изучающие английский сталкиваются с трудностями при освоении фразовых глаголов, но они являются важным элементом языка, который позволяет делать речь более естественной и выразительной.

Я постаралась сделать диалоги в книге как можно более приближенными к реальной жизни, чтобы вы могли видеть, как фразовые глаголы используются в различных ситуациях. Важно, что фразовые глаголы не используются здесь искусственно – они органично вписываются в контекст, чтобы вам было проще запомнить их и научиться применять в реальных разговорах.

После каждого диалога вас ждут упражнения, которые направлены на закрепление материала. Задания помогут вам активно применить новые фразовые глаголы в различных контекстах и проработать их с разных сторон: от перевода и дополнения до создания собственных предложений. Это поможет вам лучше запомнить фразовые глаголы и начать использовать их в речи.

В конце книги есть раздел с полезными фразовыми глаголами, которые могут быть полезны в различных ситуациях. Эти выражения собраны для вашего удобства и могут служить справочником, к которому вы всегда сможете обратиться, если нужно быстро вспомнить нужное выражение.

Эта книга направлена не только на освоение фразовых глаголов, но и на улучшение вашего общего уровня владения языком. Каждая глава включает различные упражнения, которые помогут вам закрепить материал и научиться применять новые знания на практике.

Я уверена, что, следуя методике этой книги, вы сможете эффективно развивать свой английский и уверенно использовать фразовые глаголы в повседневных разговорах. Главное – подходить к процессу обучения с терпением и настойчивостью. Не бойтесь ошибаться – ошибки – это неотъемлемая часть обучения, и они только помогают двигаться вперёд.

Желаю вам успехов в освоении английского языка!

Travel and Vacation

Dialogue:

John:

I was thinking of heading out to the mountains for a hiking trip. It’s been a while since we did something like that!

Emma:

That sounds amazing! Let’s look up some good hotels near the trailhead. We should also check in to see if we need to make any special reservations.

I agree. We should also pack up early so we don’t forget anything. Last time, we didn’t bring along enough warm clothes.

Emma:

That’s true. I don’t want to run into problems with the weather. I’ll make sure to bring along all the necessary gear.

John:

Great. Let’s set off early in the morning so we can make the most of our time. The earlier we get to the campsite, the better.

Emma:

Good idea! Once we’re there, we can set up the tent and get away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

John:

Sounds perfect! And we should also check out a few local spots while we’re there. I hear there’s a great lake nearby.

Emma:

Oh, we could stop by a local café for some coffee and snacks before we start hiking. I’ll also look over the trail map to make sure we’re taking the right route.

John:

I’ll take care of the transportation arrangements. I’ll pick up the rental car this afternoon.

Emma:

Perfect. Once we’re done, we can wind down at the cabin, relax, and enjoy the view.
