The class is divided into two teams A and B. Read out the meaning of one phrasal verb. The quickest student to raise their hand will be asked to say the verb out loud. If the answer is correct, the team gets one point. Otherwise, call one student from the other team to give the answer. Keep a record of each team's scores on the board. Remember to choose about eight to ten verbs that you think are difficult for Ss.

Dear Mira, 
It's great to know that you're coming to VietNam. What a pity you can only spend one day in Ha Noi. 
There are so many interesting places in the city, but I think within one day you should be able to visit three places. The first place I suggest is VietNam National Museum of History. You like history, so it's 
a must-see place. There's an extensive collection of artefacts tracing Viet Nam's history. They're arranged chronologically from primitive life to modern times. The second place is Hoan Kiem Lake. It's one 
of the symbols of Ha Noi. There you can enjoy the beautiful scenery and visit Ngoc Son Temple. You can also have a look at the Old Quarter. Wander around the old streets and some ancient houses to explore 
Vietnamese culture. 
Conveniently, these places are close to one another, so we can walk around easily. 
Tell me when you're coming, so I can show you around these places. 
Look forward to seeing you soon! 
Best wishes, 
Thuc Anh
