Writing--how to write a blog
possible version:
I have trouble with phrasal verbs. There are so many of them an it seems impossible to work out the meanings just from the words.And some of the verbs have different meanings. For example, "put off" can mean postpone, discourage (someone from doing something), and make someone dislike (something). I try to use phrasal verbs sometimes, but I usually use the wrong one!
My classmates had some suggestions for me. One is to use flash cards on which I write down the phrasal verb and a sentence with it.In this way, I can study them when I have time. Another suggestion is to use the phrasal verb in a sentence that is true for me so that it's easier to remember.
I'm trying them now. I hope they will work for me.
