PHRASAL VERBS

Fill in the blanks with a correct phrasal verb given in the box. There is one extra.

Give up Cut down Turn down Break up Get on well Get by

Calm down Run through Pick up Keep up with Get along Take off

It was really difficult to 1._get on well_ with my colleagues at the beginning. They were quite
interesting people. For example, Jack was a careless man, he always dropped some documents while
carrying and I had to 2._pick_ them _up_. When Melanie came to the office, the first thing she did
was to 3._turn down_ the central heating. Although it was very cold, she always felt hot inside. So I
had to wear my coat and I couldn’t 4._take_ it _off_ until the end of the day. Only Susan was a little
more friendly and I could 5.__get along__ with her. We had some coffee breaks together. She was
coughing too much and the doctor told her to 6._cut down_ on smoking. That’s why she was
sometimes nervous. I mostly had to 7._calm_ her _down_. Mr. Billis, my manager, was a speedy
man. When we went to a meeting together, it was hard to 8._keep up with_ him, because he was
just running, not walking. Also he always read everything with a critical eye, so I had to 9._run
through_ the reports several times before giving to him. In addition to this, my salary was very low
although I worked hard. People couldn’t believe how I could 10._get by_ on such a small salary. But
by time everything changed. I had a promotion and I started to earn more.

Nowadays, I am the leader of my group and my working conditions are much better. Shortly, if you
are patient enough and don’t 11.__give up_, you can achieve great success in life.
