Phrasal verbs (1)

Wird wieder mal Zeit, mich meinen (un)geliebten Phrasal Verbs zu widmen. Heute einfach eine zufällige Zusammenstellung:

turn up: appear unexpectedly (plötzlich auftauchen)
I was surprised when John turned up at the party. We thought he was still ill.

look forward to (inseperable): eagerly anticipate (so in etwa: "etwas kaum erwarten können")
Pam is really looking forward to taking a vacation.

get off: make it possible for someone to avoid punishment
Everyone knew she was guilty, but her lawyer was clever and got him off.

Als Aufgabe möchte ich eine Geschichte schreiben, in der diese drei Phrasal Verbs vorkommen.

David was looking forward to return home after work. His friend had got a new videogame console and he wanted him to take a look at the new toy. He was leaving the office building as Matthew turned up. Matthew was David's best friend when both were teenagers. David owed him a lot, because Matthew got David off when David risked to be suspended from school. But that's another story...
