Arc 11 in "Walls That Speak" applies Community & Social Connection language to practical communication tasks at the Fluency level. Key terms such as represents, contribute, democratic, something appear repeatedly, while the dominant superlatives pattern gives you a stable structure for controlled repetition across roughly 2 sentences.
Phrasal verbs combine base verbs with particles (prepositions or adverbs) to create meanings often unrelated to the component parts—"give up" (surrender), "look into" (investigate), and "put off" (postpone) exemplify this. English relies heavily on phrasal verbs, especially in spoken and informal registers, making them essential for natural communication. Some phrasal verbs are separable (turn the lights off / turn off the lights), while others are inseparable (look after the children). Three-word phrasal verbs (put up with, look forward to) follow additional patterns. Many phrasal verbs have formal single-word equivalents (find out/discover, set up/establish) that appear in academic and professional writing. Understanding these relationships helps learners choose appropriate register. Building phrasal verb competence requires exposure and practice—there are thousands in common use.
Treat Arc 11 as a dictation sprint: listen once for meaning, listen again for detail, then type exactly what you hear before checking. This Fluency set has 1 exercises, so you can practice short focused bursts without losing attention. Prioritize word boundaries, contractions, and punctuation cues while typing, then review mistakes by replaying only the lines you missed. Core terms in this arc include represents, contribute, democratic, something, beautiful, which makes the page useful for both listening precision and spelling control.
The self-correcting nature of dictation means every typing session reveals exactly which sound-letter correspondences need more reinforcement. This Community & Social Connection lesson gives you topic-specific rehearsal rather than isolated sentence practice. For Fluency learners, the goal is controlled accuracy first, then automatic fluency. Key vocabulary in this arc includes represents, contribute, democratic, something, beautiful, so repeated retrieval improves both precision and retention. The dominant sentence profile is superlatives, so focus on consistent stress placement and boundary control. You will process about 41 words across 1 exercises and 2 sentences, enough volume to consolidate the target pattern. As transcription accuracy improves, you build faster decoding of reduced forms and clearer punctuation mapping.
