Phrasal verbs and collocations you actually hear: guided B1 practice

What this module changes

This module focuses on Phrasal verbs and collocations you actually hear. You begin by learning to uses 12 to 15 daily-routine phrasal verbs in true sentences about own day. The final lesson asks you to passes a 10-item quiz; records "my day in phrasal verbs" using 8+ targets without copying the original model.

Level: B1. There are 5 connected lessons. Complete them in order if the topic is new, or use the list to locate one specific gap.

The lesson map

What useful practice looks like

• Wake up to switch off: phrasal verbs at home: Uses 12 to 15 daily-routine phrasal verbs in true sentences about own day.
• Hand in, catch up, put off: work and study: Uses 12 to 15 work/study phrasal verbs in a spoken status update.
• Top up, run out, scroll through: phones and being online: Uses 10 to 12 phone/online phrasal verbs; locally real situations (mobile balance top-up, data running out).

Use true information where possible. A sentence about your own routine, work or plans is easier to remember than a sentence copied from a model.

A practical study routine

1. Read the lesson objective before the explanation.
2. Say the model aloud once, then change at least two details.
3. Complete the check without opening the answer first.
4. Record or write the mission on your own device.
5. At the checkpoint, name one error you corrected and one skill that still needs practice.

How the lessons work together

Phrasal verbs and collocations you actually hear is a sequence, not a folder of unrelated pages. Wake up to switch off: phrasal verbs at home establishes the first usable move. Later lessons add control, choice and time pressure. Checkpoint: use them or lose them asks you to combine the module without copying an answer.

• Wake up to switch off: phrasal verbs at home: Uses 12 to 15 daily-routine phrasal verbs in true sentences about own day
• Hand in, catch up, put off: work and study: Uses 12 to 15 work/study phrasal verbs in a spoken status update
• Top up, run out, scroll through: phones and being online: Uses 10 to 12 phone/online phrasal verbs; locally real situations (mobile balance top-up, data running out)
• Make, do, take, get: collocations that sound right: Picks the right delexical verb in the 20 highest-frequency collocations

Keep one piece of evidence from the first lesson and improve the same piece at the checkpoint. That comparison shows more than a quiz score because it records what changed in your own language.

Transfer the skill to a new situation

After the checkpoint, change the audience or purpose. A speaking answer can become a short written message. A formal response can be rewritten for a teammate. A story can be shortened for a meeting update. Keep the main meaning while changing the delivery.

When a result is weak, return to the lesson whose outcome describes the missing skill. Do not restart the full course unless several earlier foundations are missing.

How to know you are ready to continue

Do not judge readiness by reading speed. You are ready when you can complete the checkpoint task with a clear message, understandable language and no copied answer. A small number of errors is normal at B1; errors should not hide your meaning.

If the checkpoint is difficult, repeat the lesson whose outcome matches the problem. That is faster than restarting the whole module.
