Extension activity: non-phrasal verb alternatives
When you check the answers, ask students for alternative ways of saying each 
phrase without phrasal verbs. Why are the phrasal verbs better than the 
paraphrases?
 Suggested answers
1  Now we’ve finished talking about that story, let’s start talking about our next 
story.
2  Later in the show, we are scheduled to discuss all the latest gossip, but first 
let’s transfer to the newsroom for …
3  What do we have scheduled to take place on the show today?
4  I’m afraid we’re going to have to bring the interview to a close there, as we 
don’t have any more time.
The alternatives are generally longer and less natural, especially in informal 
English, than the phrasal verbs.
