IN THE KNOW: Charles Dickens (1812-1970) was a popular British novelist. He wrote Great Expectations in 1860, when he was already a well-established and successful author.

This means that the object can go either after the particle (when it is a noun, but not a pronoun) or between the verb and the particle (when it is a noun, but not a pronoun). For example, I turned down the offer OR I turned the offer down OR I turned it down. Not I turned down it. Other phrasal verbs are inseparable. For example, We can ran into a friend OR We ran into him. Not: We ran a friend into OR We ran him into. The verbs in exercise 2 which have the word someone between the verb and the particle are separable. This is also the usual convention in most dictionaries. 1. orphan / / c:fn / (n): a child whose parents have died: tr m côi 2. pass away: (phrasal verb) to die. This word is used to avoid saying “die” when you think this might upset someone: qua đi 3. bring up: (phrasal verb) [often passive] to take care of a child until he or she becomes an adult: RAISE: nuôi dng She brought up three sons on her own: Cô ta mt mình nuôi dng ba đa con. 4. run into: (phrasal verb) see by chance: tình c gp ai 5. wealthy / / welTI / (n): a wealthy person, organization, or country is one that has a large amount of money, land, and other valuable things: RICH: giàu có, phát đt 6. adopted /C / do:ptId/ (a): đc nhn làm con nuôi 7. fall for: (phrasal verb) fall for someone to fall in love with someone: phi lòng yêu ai He fell for Rosie when he was in the hospital and she was his nurse: Anh ra phi lòng Rosie khi anh nm bnh vin và lúc đó cô y là mt y tá. 8. come into: (phrasal verb) tha hng 9. turn up: (phrasal verb) kt qu là 10. unexpected / VnIk / spektId / (a): something that is unexpected is surprising, because you did not expect it at all or you expected it to happen in a different way: bt ng, thình lình 11. turn down: (phrasal verb) to refuse to accept an offer or request: t chI SUMMARY OF GREAT EXPECTATION S: One of Dickens? shorter novels and also one of his most influential is Great Expectations. It appeared initially in serial form in All The Year Round between 1860 and 1861 and is now considered to be one of his finest novels. It concerns the young boy Philip Pirrip (known as ?Pip?) and his development through life after an early meeting with the escaped convict Abel Magwitch, who he treats kindly despite his fear. His unpleasant sister and her humorous and friendly blacksmith husband, Joe, bring him up. Crucial to his development as an individual is his introduction to Miss Havisham (one of Dickens? most brilliant portraits), a now aging woman who has given up on life after being jilted at the altar. Cruelly, Havisham has brought up her daughter Estella to revenge her own pain and so as Pip falls in love with her she is made to torture him in romance. Aspiring to be a gentleman despite his humble beginnings, Pip seems to achieve the impossible by receiving a fund of wealth from an unknown source and being sent to London with the lawyer Jaggers. He is employed but eventually loses everything and Estella marries another. His benefactor turns out to have been Magwitch and his future existence is based upon outgrowing the great expectations and returning to Joe and honest laout. Eventually he is reunited with Estella. There have been a number of film adaptations of the novel, the most recent of which featured Anne Bancroft as Miss Havisham. Doubtless, this was something of an in-joke meant for those who know Bancroft best as Mrs. Robinson in The Graduate which is very much inspired by this Dickens novel and benefits from the comparison. 3.
