Phrasal Verbs for Everyday Actions - A Day in My Life

This morning, like most mornings I woke up at around 6.30 am and got up (rose from bed after sleeping) quickly. Another busy day. I jumped into (went to) the shower and then dressed quickly and put on (got dressed) my clothes. I went into the kitchen and put together (prepared) a quick breakfast of porridge, toast and orange juice to kick start (to begin) my day.

I noticed that the rubbish bin was full so I went to the garden to put out (dispose of) the rubbish and dropped it into (placed it) the correct bins as we recycle everything. Once I had put away (disposed of) the rubbish I made up (prepared) my plan for the rest of the day. There were many tasks to carry out (to do). A friend had called me yesterday and I had promised to call him back (return his call) and give him some information. He was looking for some help with a project. I said I would look into (investigate) it last night and call him today with my opinion.

I spent several hours researching his problem and at last came up with (discovered or found) a solution I thought would work. I sent him a text and told him I would drop in (visit him) on the way to the park. I usually go to the park most mornings for a quick work out (exercise). I also wanted to catch up with (meet) my friend as we had not met face to face for a few weeks.

Later I promised to call into (go to) the supermarket to pick up (buy) some food for the next few days. I made a list of the food products that my wife wanted. She called them out and I took down (write on a list) the details. I usually go to the same supermarket every week but shop around (visit several places before choosing) for the best quality meat and fish.

When I returned home I switched on (turned on) my computer and logged on to the internet. I had a lot of emails to go through (to read) and it took me several hours to complete them. I looked through (read) a few reports and flicked through (looked quickly at) my presentation before my meeting scheduled for the next day.

Time to relax. I usually chill out (relaxed) listening to some music either on my phone or the radio. It was my turn to cook that night so I wanted to try out (to cook) a new recipe I had come across (found or discovered) recently. It didn’t turn out (it didn’t taste too bad) too bad and the family enjoyed something different.
