How to Teach so Students Remember
When you teach a lesson, do your students remember the information the next day? The next week? Will they retain that information long enough to use it on a high-stakes test and, most importantly, will they retain it well enough to make use of it in their lives
How to Teach So Students Remember offers seven steps to increase your students’ capacity to receive information in immediate memory, act on it in working memory, store it in long-term memory, and retrieve and manipulate it in unanticipated situations-that is, to use what they’ve learned when they need it.

About
About is a preposition or an adverb.
About as a preposition
The most common meaning of about as a preposition is ‘on the subject of’ or ‘connected with’:
Do you know anything about cricket?I’m very worried about my brother. He’s not well.
About is not as specific as on.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Compare:
e.g. He wrote a book about the Spanish Civil War.
about is more general and slightly more informal.
e.g. He wrote a book on Barcelona during the Spanish Civil War.
on focuses on more specific and detailed information and is slightly more form
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
There are some words we use with about:
complain, concern, excited, happy and worry:
He never complains about the pain.
Everybody was very concerned about the accident.
I’m very excited about coming to France and I can’t wait to see you.

.....................................................................

We use about as an adverb when we talk about time, number and quantity. About makes the time, number or quantity less specific and more approximate:

approximate: Dinner is about six.

approximate:We moved house about three years ago.
About can also be used (though less commonly) as an adverb with a meaning of ‘around’:

Be about to
We use the modal expression be about to as an adjective in the modal expression be about to to refer to something that will happen very soon in the future:

PHRASAL VERBS
What is a phrasal verb?
A phrasal verb is a verb followed by a preposition or an adverb; the combination creates a meaning different from the original verb alone.
Phrasal verbs are part of a large group of verbs called “multi-part” or "multi-word” verbs.
The preposition or adverb that follows the verb is sometimes called a particle.
| Example : | |
| To get = to obtain | I need to get a new battery for my camera. |
| To get together = to meet | Why don’t we all get together for lunch one day? |
Phrasal verbs are part of a large group of verbs called “multi-part” or "multi-word” verbs.
The preposition or adverb that follows the verb is sometimes called a particle.
Phrasal verbs and other multi-word verbs are an important part of the English language.
They are mainly used in spoken English and informal texts.
In academic writing it is preferable to use a formal verb such as, for example, “to postpone” rather than “to put off”.
However, the use of phrasal verbs in formal writing cannot be ruled out, as some of them would be difficult to avoid.
Here are some examples:
account for, bring about, carry out, consist of, dispense with, follow up, phase in, put forward...

Transitive and intransitive phrasal verbs:
Some phrasal verbs are transitive. (A transitive verb always has an object.)
Example : I made up an excuse. ('Excuse' is the object of the verb.)
Example : I made up an excuse. ('Excuse' is the object of the verb.)
Some phrasal verbs are intransitive . (An intransitive verb does not have an object.)
Example : My car broke down.
Example : My car broke down.
Separable or inseparable phrasal verbs:
Some transitive phrasal verbs are separable. (Object between the verb and the preposition.)
Example : I looked the word up in the dictionary.
Example : I looked the word up in the dictionary.
Some transitive phrasal verbs are inseparable. (Object after the preposition.)
Example : I will look into the matter as soon as possible.
Example : I will look into the matter as soon as possible.
Some transitive phrasal verbscan take an object in both places.
Example : I picked up the book. / I picked the book up.
Example : I picked up the book. / I picked the book up.
However, if the object is a pronoun, it must be placed between the verb and the preposition.
Example : I picked it up.
Example : I picked it up.
Below you will find lists of the most commonly-used phrasal verbs in English.
The table below shows the first and last verb in each list.
