17 分钟Hi there.
This is Harry.
And welcome back to another podcast where I try to help you to get a better understanding of the english language, where we look at vocabulary, spoken English, conversational English, to help you improve your prospects for jobs with international companies.
Whatever the reason, you come to us, and we certainly can try and help you.
And at the end of this podcast, I will give you my contact details for you and for friends or family members that you think might get some benefit from it.
So, what are we going to talk about today?
Well, in this particular podcast, we're going to take a look at some phrasal verbs.
And they are phrasal verbs related to behavior.
And behavior is the way we do things or the way we act.
So, as always, I'll go down through them one by one, and then I'll go through them individually, and I will give you some examples.
Okay, let's start.
So, phrasal verbs related to behavior cheer someone up, tire someone out, calm down, make something up, rush into something, fit in with, look down on, stand up for, rely on, and finally let down.
Okay, so let's take them one by one.
First, cheer someone up.
Well, when we cheer someone up, we make them feel happy.
Okay, so usually we make them feel happy because they were probably feeling sad before that or feeling unhappy.
So, to cheer someone up.
And here we've got the verb and the preposition split, and we've got someone in the middle.
Cheer someone up.
Okay, so how do we cheer someone up?
