Hello folks, this time we're going to write three short stories using the phrasal verbs below:
- get up: to arise (from bed); to rise (for a standing position); to move to a higher level or position;
- go back: to return (to a place)
- go in: to enter ( in a building)

Every morning I have to get up from my warm cozy bed to work and study. Sometimes I don't feel like getting up from my bed, but, my mother always force me to get up immediately, so that I don't be late for the job. I have arrived countless times late at work, and I was told off a couple of times by my boss Greg too. Knowing my boss was angry about me, mom decided to buy me a new alarm clock to get me up on time to work. Even though, sometimes the alarm clock seems doesn't work, mum comes in action by making noise to get me up at 6 AM. After getting up from bed, I sit on a chair for a while, and try to get up again and go to bathroom to take a shower. When I come to the bathroom I have difficulty when getting up a few steps next to to my bathtub because they're very narrow to put up somebody's feet. In the end, I'm able to to take a hot shower and stay a bit more awake.

Have you ever had the feeling you forgot something at home after getting out? Probably, you have. Sometimes, we forgot important things at home and so we have to go back there. Some people can't remember they forgot something at home, like keys, for example, and they don't go back home. One good tip is always to put your daily belongings close to you when you have to go out. This way you won't need to go back home, everytime you forget something you'll need later. Another strategy is to make a list of things you always need to carry with yourself. So, before getting out, try to check them out.Thus, you avoid have to go back the place you were as well. But, one of the best methods is for sure to keep you brain fit, by making any intelectual activity, so, your brain won't have time to forget anything. Furthermore, not always we have enough time to go back home amidst so much everyday duties.

Daily I go in several places. At morning, when I arrive at work I go in the office I work and spend there about 9 hours. In the afternoon, I go back to home, and there, I go in my garage and park my red car. Then, I go in the kitchen, prepare some meal for me, and go in my bedroom and get some rest for 30 minutes. After this, I go in to the publich library, and I go to a specialised section meant for language books and study Hungarian for 2 or 3 hours. You know, I have a few Hungarian relatives and I hope to drop them in soon.

Many thanks Robbie, very glad to have you over here. Take care!
Hey, Daniel!
Thank you for sharing your writing about phrasal verbs. Phrasal verbs are also tricky just like other grammar topics because any wrong placement of prepositions (and its verbs) could lead to misinterpretation.
For some corrections;
1. Furthermore, not always we have enough time to go back home amidst so much everyday duties.
(We can improve your sentence with this one: Furthermore, we don't have enough time to go back home because of so many everyday duties.) We usually use 'much' for uncountable nouns. 'Duties' is countable noun therefore we can use 'many'.
2. But, one of the best methods is for sure to keep you brain fit, by making any intelectual activity, so, your brain won't have time to forget anything.
(Some commas aren't necessary in that sentence especially after a coordinating conjunction 'so'). Here's an improved version.
But one of the best methods to surely keep your brain fit is by making any intellectual activity, so your brain won't have time to forget anything.
I hope you won't mind my correction, Daniel. By the way, thanks for the tip. There are times that I forget something at home while I'm in the middle of my commute. And it's too late go back then. :/
Keep writing!
Robbie :)
