F. Focusonphrasalverbs. Fill in the gaps with the correct form of the phrasal verbs below:

a) dress up / send out / run off with / live together / fall for
It's interesting how attitudes can change so quickly. For my parents' generation, the idea of couples living together without being married was very shocking. Nowadays, however, it is so common that it might even be the norm. As another example, one of my aunts ran off with a man from another county and the family was so appalled that they never spoke about her. If it happened now, most of the family would just look forward to having holidays in an exotic county!

Marriage is still popular though. Many couples choose to get married after they have lived together for a while. I don't know any married couples who didn't find the ceremony nerve-wracking but also deeply moving. Perhaps it's because the excitement grows from the moment of the proposal, through the practicalities of booking the church or registry office, organizing the reception, and sending out the invitations, right up to the day of the wedding when everyone dresses up in their finest clothes and prepares for what is still known as 'the big day'.

But however much attitudes change, we will all continue to fall for each other, and many will continue to publicly proclaim their commitment to each other by getting married.
b) sell up / drop out / go off / do down / get by
John was fed up with the rat race. He had spent his life working hard and striving to achieve his ambitions. When some of his college friends had dropped out of university and gone off to India to 'find themselves', he had thought that they were just lazy and self-obsessed. So, after graduating he had found a good job with a large multi-national company, and worked his way up the career ladder. He had happily done people down to get to his current position, but now that he was at the top, he realized what it was like to have it done to himself as his juniors tried to develop their own careers. He began to consider his options, and wondered if he would be able to get by without his salary, company car, and expensive flat in the centre of the city. He began to think how nice it would be to live a peaceful life and not treat everyone he met as a potentially useful contact. Would he really be happier without the hustle and bustle of city life? He knew that his doctor would be happier - he had told John on many occasions that it was his lifestyle that was causing his stomach ulcers. But his doctor had recommended go off somewhere for a couple of weeks, not the rest of his life. With no wife or children to consider, the decision to sell up and go was his alone. What should he do? He certainly couldn't continue as he was.
