Episode Details

This is another podcast on B1 intermediate phrasal verbs - those a little difficult to learn. The ones I will talk about are:

put on - to switch on or activate some device (electrical?)
sign up - to join or becme part of a club etc.
show up - to arrive somewhere unexpectedly.
deal with - to try to resolve a problem
take up - to begin a new sport, hobby or other activity
carry on - to continue, often when things seem difficult.

Listen to the context these phrasal verbs are used in during the story. Answers are given at the end of the episode. You can read the full transcript of the story and read the answers at https://www.practisingenglish.com/podcast-213.htm

Solidarity with the people who have suffered after the Valencia storms (Spain)!
