topic. Read the five questions carefully and underline any key words or phrases without reading the options (A, B

option is similar to your idea. You should also read the other two options and decide why they are wrong. lf there

The target vocabulary has been divided into five groups:

prepositions (good at, interested in) or nouns that go
together (car park, petrol station).
Throughout the Vocabulary reference, you will see
different abbreviations. This key explains what they

Phrasal verbs are made of a verb (take, come, look,


KEY: adj = adjective; adv = adverb; n = noun; sth = something;
etc.) plus a word called a particle. The particle can be
v = verb
an adverb (up, down, etc.) or a preposition (in, on, etc.).
Remember that some phrasal verbs have more than
one meaning; in the tables, the meaning given for the
phrasal verb always matches the one used in the unit.
