对话

VICKI:We're going to go back to school.

CALLUM:Because if you want to get ahead, you need a good education!

VICKI:That's right. Well one way to get ahead with English is to use more phrasal verbs. For example:

CALLUM:'get ahead' education certainly helped me get ahead – it helped me to bee more successful than other people.

VICKI:It must have done Callum because now you're working with me!

CALLUM:And that really is getting ahead!
