Kang Guru Magazine is one of many English resources that we can use it in both classroom activity and as an information media. Here are two segments I like most available in the Kang Guru Magazine, they are Australia Indonesia Partnership and Listeners' Letters(Kang Guru Voices.)
Just like as many others listener, I like Australia and Indonesia Partnership segment sponsored by AusAID, it has attracted many readers and listeners successfully because of its programs to help the education and social life in Indonesia. By working together with the government of Indonesia, AusAID has provided many supports and contributions, such as the construction and expansion of around 2000 junior high schools (Kang Guru March 2007 edition) and Central Java Community Assistance Program (CAP) by The AusAID Yogyakarta - this program was an Australian Government initiative which was designed in response to the earthquake which struck Yogyakarta and part of Central Java Province on 27th may 2006(Kang Guru December 2007 edition) and many others. These partnership programs are really meaningful and truthful, I think everyone has the same opinion as me - Good Neighbors Make Good Friends.
The second segment I like most available in Kang Guru Magazine is Listeners letters or Kang Guru Voices. There are so many letters, email and SMS on this segment that we could read and study especially their ideas or their writing skills. So many parts of profession come to join this segment (students, teachers and public listeners), they share any ideas and great interesting information about English. Diah Wahyu Dinata was one of great students who sent her letter to KGI in March 2008 edition. She could be an good inspiration for us as an English teacher to motivate our students to write English and achieve their dreams.

A phrasal verb consists of a verb and a preposition or adverb that modifies or changes the meaning; 'give up' is a phrasal verb that means 'stop doing' something, which is very different from 'give'. The word or words that modify a verb in this manner can also go under the name particle.
Phrasal verbs can be divided into groups:
Intransitive verbs
These don't take an object
They had an argument, but they've made up now.
Inseparable verbs
The object must come after the particle.
They are looking after their grandchildren.
Separable verbs
With some separable verbs, the object must come between the verb and the particle:
The quality of their work sets them apart from their rivals.
In our phrasal verb dictionary, we classify these as Separable [obligatory] With some separable verbs, the object can before or after the particle, though when a pronoun is used it comes before the particle:
Turn the TV off.
Turn off the TV.
Turn it off.
Definition:
A complex verb made up of a verb (usually one of action or movement) and an adverbial particle (of direction or location). See also: prepositional verb.
Etymology:
According to Logan Pearsall Smith in Words and Idioms (1925), the term was introduced by Henry Bradley, senior editor of the Oxford English Dictionary.
Examples and Observations:
* "Put out the light, and then put out the light."
(William Shakespeare, Othello)
* "a wind has blown the rain away and blown
the sky away and all the leaves away,
and the trees stand."
(E.E. Cummings, "A Wind Has Blown the Rain Away and Blown")
* "Like compounds, phrasal verbs have semantic coherence, evidenced by the fact that they are sometimes replaceable by single Latinate verbs, as in the following:
o break out -- erupt, escape
o count out -- exclude
o think up -- imagine
o take off -- depart, remove
o work out -- solve
o put off -- delay
o egg on -- incite
o put out -- extinguish
o put off -- postpone
Furthermore, the meaning of the combination of verb and particle in the phrasal verb may be opaque, that is, not predictable from the meaning of the parts."
(Laurel J. Brinton, The Structure of Modern English: A Linguistic Introduction, John Benjamins Publishing Company, 2000)
* "A phrasal verb differs from a sequence of a verb and a preposition (a prepositional verb) in [these] respects. Here call up is a phrasal verb, while call on is only a verb plus a preposition:
1. The particle in a phrasal verb is stressed: They called up the teacher, but not *They called on the teacher.
2. The particle of a phrasal verb can be moved to the end: They called the teacher up, but not *They called the teacher on.
3. The simple verb of a phrasal verb may not be separated from its particle by an adverb: *They called early up the teacher is no good, but They called early on the teacher is fine."
(R.L. Trask, Dictionary of English Grammar, Penguin, 2000)
Also Known As: compound verb, verb phrase, verb-adverb combination, verb-particle combination, two-part verb, three-part verb
How many English words can I learn per day?
10 English words or phrases per day aren’t too many, are they? Just give it a try. You will find that you can learn them in next to no time.
So why not take a little time each day (Monday to Friday) to learn 10 new words?
Use the weekend to revise what you have learned during the past week(s). This way you’ll enrich your English vocabulary by 50 new words per week. (That’s 200 new English words after a month!)

Vocabulary needs to be revised again and again. Well, what could be better than studying vocabulary by listening to your favorite songs?
Read the lyrics first and try to understand them. You don’t have to translate the lyrics word by word, just try to find out what the song is all about. (Note: ‘Rap’ might not be practical as those songs usually contain slang words that not even ‘ordinary’ English native speakers know.)
Pick some words or phrases from the song that you would like to learn. If necessary, look up their exact meaning in a dictionary. A dictionary might also be useful to find other interesting phrases with the word.
Now, to learn the vocabulary, all you have to do is listening to the song again and again (that shouldn’t be a problem if it’s one of your favourite songs).
Let the music turn you on.
