ХОД УРОКА
1. T: You know that phrasal verbs are very common and are a really
good way to make yourself sound more natural when speaking in informal speech. We have
already learnt some of them.
Today we will be busy with new phrasal verbs with make. The phrasal verb make
may be few in number but it is important in usage as it is one of the most popular English
phrasal verbs: make out, make of, make off, make over, make for, make up.
2. T: Revision of the verb make up. Do you remember the verb make up?
It has at least three different meanings. What are they?
First, it can mean to invent, for example, a story. The story is not true – it did not
really happen – it came from my imagination. I made it up.
Second, make-up (a noun formed from the phrasal verb) is the stuff women
put on their faces – you know, eye-liner, eye-shadow, lip stick and so on. And if a
woman makes herself up, it means that she puts her make-up
on.
Third, suppose two friends have an argument. They are angry with each other. But later, they decide to forget their argument and to become friends again. We say that they have made up.
