An Upbeat Dictation Exercise!

First, listen to Dr. Kimberly Alyn's 3-minute 10-second speech. What kind of phrasal verbs does she use?




Now watch the video again and post a list of all those phrasal verbs. How many of them are there? What do they mean? Pick five of your favourite and write a sentence or paragraph for each to bring out its meaning.

Finally, if you like, take dictation of her speech from beginning to end. Read it to a friend over the phone! Was it fun? What kind of response did you get?

P.S. Don't forget to post the website that has the full transcript of this speech--you should be able to find it by googling!
