Grammar

Pick up is to get something in your hand and move it
— Pick out is to choose

Fun with phrasal verbs, where the preposition changes the meaning

Throw – to make something move through the air
Throw out – put something in the garbage
Throw up – have you food come back out of your mouth
Throw down – to fight
Throw in the towel – to give up, to decide that you can’t do something

Other verbs just use prepositions to connect other information:

I walked to the park with my friend – “to” and “with” don’t change the meaning of walk

Speaking exercise

I do short films about 1 min but three short films until this month. One of them is a fashion film and it behind camera. Behind camera means when you take the magazine’s cover and a video team will shot a film and I need cut/edit the film. They have no connect. Just use same model, same clothes, same make-up. Of course the cover is more important, so the photographer shoot the model when the cameraman finished his shot. The photographer cue the models like give me some emotion.
