PHRASAL VERBS

Dedicated to Maria Carme.

Here's a story with lots of phrasal verbs. If you feel like to, you can try and "translate" all of them; but, if you give it up, I'm going to bring out the translation of the text in this blog tomorrow afternoon.


One of my best friends

He is very lucky; he always lies in till late every morning. Then he stretches out and gets ready to start a new day. He spends great part of his time hanging around and soaking up the sun, and when lunch is ready, he always tucks into spaghetti, his favourite food. Now he's put on some extra weight so he's decided to cut down on pasta.
He is incredible! He's never let me down, he's always cheered me up when something got me down and, since I took up ioga some time ago because of my backache, he's always backed me up staying next to me during the salute to the sun.
We really get on well though sometimes I have to put up with his strong voice: when he wants to be heard, he always drowns out the music I try to listen to on the radio.
We've never fallen out but once: that day I was so nervous that I got at him and stormed out of the room. he followed me, he tried to iron out our problems and when I finally chilled out, he licked my cheek and barked. Let me point it out: Bobby is the best dog ever!!!
