Watch part of the video. Complete the conversation.
Emily:
Can you help me out with some
today?
Gina:
Of course. What do you need?
Emily:
You’d better write this down—it’s a lot to remember.
Gina:
It’s OK, I’ve got it.
Emily:
OK . . . Well, first, drop this key off at the
Business Department, Dean Spelling’s office.
It’s for Diana, the dean’s assistant.
Gina:
I think I can handle that.
Emily:
There’s a little form in here that she needs to
fill out—it’s a receipt. Just put it on my desk
when you get back.

No problem. You can
me.

PAIRS
Why do you think Gina doesn’t want to make a list? Now that she has forgotten
some of her instructions, what should she do?
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
In most phrasal verbs, both the
verb and particle are stressed.
If there is a noun object, the
noun may be stressed instead
of a particle. If there is a
pronoun object, the pronoun
is not stressed.
Listen and repeat.
