You may wish to buy the green colour theme-based book '500 phrasal verbs in action' by Verne Maree, by Success Publications.It has exercise after every theme. but i find the exercise may not be sufficient. In every theme, there are conversations among different people under different settings related to the theme.

Hi there


Can anyone recommend a theme-based vocab book at P6, please? Buy theme, I mean a section say flowers, office-working, canteens, etc.

I have the EPH Complete Practice Book, but it is insufficient. All help, labelling book name and author is much appreciated.

Cheers.

Dear All

Oral for scene in classroom.
Two students are talking to each other, oblivious to teacher’s presence, and the teacher is staring angrily at them.
Can we say the kids are ACTING UP? Is it appropriate to say they are acting up when they are just chatting away and not being aware that the teacher is staring angrily at them?

Thanks!

soyabean:

He is wearing an __________ look on his face.


1) agonized
2) agonizing

It is answer 1).

'Agonized' means showing or feeling extreme pain/anxiety whereas 'agonizing' means causing extreme pain/anxiety.

Of course, I could be witty and say that someone's look is so awful that it causes other people pain, therefore 'agonizing' would be correct. But
I wouldn't be so cruel...

Hehe, thanks R

So... There_______ some books and a pen.

1) is
2) are

ans = are???

So... the ans depends on the noun right after the blank...?

Thanks
