Other phrasal verbs: pick up, let out, take out, write down, speak up, let in, pull out, stay out, come out, knock out

Phrasal verbs consist of a verb and a particle (preposition or adverb) or, sometimes, two particles. The particle
often changes the meaning of the verb:
I called Jen to see how she was. (call = to telephone)
They've called off the meeting. (call off = to cancel)
SEPARABLE VS INSEPARABLE: phrasal verbs can be separable (the verb and particle can be apart or
together) or non-separable (the verb and particle cannot be separated)
❖ Separable: Kamal took off his jacket - Kamal took his jacket off.
separable phrasal verbs MUST be separated when you use a pronoun: Kamal took it off (Kamal took off it.)
❖ Non-separable: he got off the bus (but we can’t say: he got the buss off)

Advantages and Disadvantages of Technology


Technology has many advantages and disadvantages, too. To begin with, technology has made our life easier and more
luxurious. In other words, it helps us save more time and effort. For example, robots and machines will accomplish our
daily work or tasks perfectly and in no time. Also, great inventions, such as the telephone, computers, the television, and the
Internet have made communication easier and better. In addition, we can use these inventions to learn about world news and
events as soon as they happen. Consequently, the world has become a small village. Additionally, technology is good for
our economy. Nowadays, big and small companies use technology to improve the quality of their products or services.

Certainly, technology is always a good thing as long as we use it wisely. However, people shouldn’t be over-dependent
on it. That’s to say, we mustn’t rely on robots and machines to accomplish our work all the time because this will cause
many people to lose their jobs. Furthermore, it can make many people, especially children, take up the bad habit of being
lazy. Besides, Internet addiction is one of the negative outcomes of modern technology. Perhaps, we can say that technology
is a double-edged sword; unless it is used carefully, it can be harmful and destructive. In conclusion, we need to make full
use of the advantages of technology, but we should be aware of its disadvantages, too.

Sentence 2 explain your ideas, state your arguments, give examples to support ideas ..etc.

Sentence 3 ‫ هنا أيضا يمكنك شرح أفكارك أو‬.‫ وذلك بإعطاء المزيد من المعلومات والتفاصيل‬،‫هذه الجمل تدعم فكرة الفقرة الرئيسة‬
…. .‫الخ‬... ‫عرض حججك أو تدعيم أفكارك بأمثلة‬

Concluding Sentence: It concludes your paragraph and briefly summarizes the information you discussed. It also
functions as a transition to the following paragraph (if you are writing more than one paragraph)

‫ كما أنها يمكن أن تمهد للفقرة الموالية (إن‬.‫ أو تركز فيها على فكرة محورية فيها‬،‫هذه الجملة الختامية تلخص فيها بشكل مقتضب المعلومات الواردة في فقرتك‬

Technology has many advantages. To begin with, technology has made our life easier and more

luxurious. In other words, it helps us save more time and effort. For example, robots and machines will

accomplish our daily work or tasks perfectly and in no time. Also, great inventions, such as the telephone,

computers, the television, and the Internet have made communication easier and better. In addition, we

can use these inventions to learn about world news and events as soon as they happen. Consequently, the

world has become a small village. Additionally, technology is good for our economy. Nowadays, big and

small companies use technology to improve the quality of their products or services. In brief, advantages

of technology are too many to count.

A memorable day in my life2

I will never forget the day when my little sister was born. It was about 1:00 a.m. and everybody had

gone to bed. I was 5years old then and I was sleeping in my bed. All of a sudden, I heard my mother shouting.

I immediately got out of bed and opened my bedroom door. I saw my father talking on the phone while my

mom was walking across the living room. He asked my elder brother to get the car out of the garage. When

my father saw me, he told me it was ok and asked me to go back to bed. After that, they all left and I stayed

with my cousin who was visiting us that day. At around 3:00 a.m., my dad called to say that I had a little

sister! I was very happy! On the next day, we went to see them in hospital. When I entered the room, I saw

my mother lying on the bed and smiling. She put her hand on my head and hugged me. She then pointed to

my little sister who was sleeping soundly in a cradle by the bedside. I bent over and kissed her. She was

really cute!
