P 67 3
I have trouble with phrasal verbs. There are so many of them and it seems impossible to work out the meanings just from the words. And some of the verbs have different meanings. For example, put off can mean postpone, discourage (someone from doing something), and make someone dislike (something). I try to use phrasal verbs sometimes, but I usually use the wrong one!
My classmates had some suggestions for me. One was to use flash cards and to write down the phrasal verb on one side and a sentence using the phrasal verb on the other side. Then I can study them when I have time, like on the bus. Another suggestion was to use the phrasal verb in a sentence that is true for me, so that it's easy to remember. For example, I always put off doing my homework. I think my classmates gave me some good advice. Next time I hear a phrasal verb, I'll write it down and think of a sentence that uses the verb. Maybe I'll draw a picture too, to make it easier to remember.
