UNIT 1 Exercise 12 Read the following safety advice from a ski resort website. Underline all the phrasal verbs, then decide if the sentences that follow are true (T) or false (F).

SKI SAFELY You must always sit down while using the chairlift. If you fall down on the slope, or if you fall from the chairlift, do not get up too quickly. If you fall from the chair lift, keep your head down until it is safe to stand up again. If you think you may be injured, lay your skis down on the ground and wait for help. Always stay with another person. Do not go oﬀ on your own. If it starts to snow heavily, you should consider turning back. 1 2 3 4 5 6

Always stand up on the chairlift. If you are injured, ski to someone and ask for help. It is safe to ski alone. If it snows heavily, leave the slopes and return to your accommodation. If you fall from the chairlift, get up quickly. Keep your head down while on the chairlift.

Definition If you bring up a child, you look after it until it is grown up and you try to give it particular beliefs. When something or someone comes along, they start to happen or exist. If something or someone is coming along, they are making progress or developing in the way you want. When someone or something comes back, they return to the place where they were before. When someone or something comes down or comes down something, they move from a higher position to a lower one. When someone comes in, they enter the room or building where you are. When someone comes out of their house or room, or a place where they were hidden, they leave it or appear from it. When someone comes through, they move out of one room and enter another. When someone or something comes up or comes up something, they move from a lower position to a higher one, or move towards the place where you are. If you get back, you return somewhere after being in another place. If you get something back, you get it again after losing it or giving it to someone else. If something goes on throughout a period of time, it continues to happen or exist. To go on means to happen. When you go over, you move towards someone or something and reach them. When a child grows up, they gradually change into being an adult. If you leave someone or something behind, you do not take them with you when you go somewhere. If you make for a place, you move towards it in a quick or determined way. When you move in, you begin to live in a house or place. When you return to a place, you go back there after you have been away. To run down somewhere means to run to a lower level or away from a place. If you start out, you begin to move and go somewhere. To start out means to begin something in a particular way or by doing a particular thing.
