The third volume in one of the most useful vocabulary series you'll find! The five books in this series for learners of English feature the most common phrasal verbs in English, presented in order-the 30 most common phrasal verbs are in Book 1, the next 30 most frequently used verbs are in Book 2, and so on. However, you do not need to use the books in order. Advanced students may wish to start the series in the middle. Each unit presents three phrasal verbs. You'll see the verbs used in context, study definitions, and then practice using them in a variety of different exercises. There's even additional online practice. Throughout the book, phrasal verbs from previous units are recycled, so you have additional support in remembering them. You can learn and practice at your own pace. You can use the book to support a class you are taking or just to learn on your own.

To speak a new language, you need vocabulary. You need words, phrases, key sentences, and idioms. To speak a language really well, you need a lot of vocabulary, and you need to know the different meanings for the vocabulary. One of the most difficult part of English is a special vocabulary group called phrasal verb. Phrasal verbs have two or three words. The first word is usually a very common one-syllable verb like take, come, put, or go. The second part is usually a preposition or adverb like off, up, in, or away. These parts together have a new meaning. You can know the meaning of take and the meaning of off, but take off has a different meaning. The goal of this book is to help you learn the most frequent phrasal verb with their most important meetings. Instead of long vocabulary lists, each lesson in this book teaches you only three phrasal verb with meanings and many useful examples. There are also many short exercises for you to practice the phrasal verbs in a very direct way. They can be completed in a day, a week, or as much time as you need.

Ross Jarboe finds himself stuck in time between his life in the novel's present-it is set in the late 70's-- and his life in the past. Twenty some years before, his father moved his family from Boston to the safety of the Colorado Rockies and built an impervious fallout shelter under his house. In the late 60's, a commune formed not far from where Ross's family took refuge. "School's Out" is the name of this community-but the phrase also sums up a growing trend of the time-a generation going out on its own. "No more pencils, no more books, no more teacher's dirty looks." Freedom-but not freedom without costs and dangers. Ross moves to School's Out then goes to Mexico with Laurel, a woman he meets there. The novel opens about ten years later. Ross is a single dad living in Boston. He and his business partner Dean are taking a chance and are opening a Mexican restaurant. The late seventies is a time of change, not just for Ross but for his whole generation. Life is getting more serious; school bells are ringing again. Ross must be a responsible restaurant manager. At the same time he is a bit of a peeping tom, spying on a woman who lives across the alley from him. And his ex-wife Laurel-still living at an almost abandoned School's Out-haunts his memories.School's Out is a historical novel of the not-so-distant past, recalling the way things were almost half a century ago. The language, the attitudes, the details evoke the seventies as effectively as mood rings, Herbal Essence shampoo, disco, sideburns, and bell-bottom pants. Readers who were there and even those who weren't will feel immersed in the zeitgeist of that time.

Reading plays evokes a wide array of reactions, from fear to excitement and joy. Without the guiding hand of a director, or the specific interpretation of actors, however, reading a theatrical play instead of viewing a performance offers its own challenges. The plays included in this text-A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare and Cyrano de Bergerac by Edmond Rostand-are intended to introduce readers to the theatrical play in an accessible, insightful, and entertaining way. An introduction and historical notes for each play help readers both understand and enjoy the material. Discussion questions follow each play to prompt critical thinking about the plot, characters, setting, themes, and other essential aspects of these works. Although this book is a companion text for the free edX.org course, "College Writing 11.3x, AP® English Literature and Composition: Plays," offered through the University of California, Berkeley, it is suitable for anyone who wants to learn more about some monumental theatrical plays.
