English Phrasal Verb Practice with “speak up” and “speak out”
At one school, students are encouraged to speak up [se vyjadřovali] and share their ideas. One day, a new student named Emma came to the school. Emma was shy. In her first presentation, the teacher said, "Please speak up [mluv nahlas ]; we can't hear you at the back." Emma was nervous, but she tried to speak up [mluvit nahlas].
In the same class, there was a boy named Lucas. He was known for his confidence. He often spoke up [vyjadřoval svůj názor] during discussions. "If anyone has any suggestions, please speak up [ozvěte se]," the teacher said. She wanted more students to speak up [aby se vyjádřili].
The next week, the school announced new rules that seemed unfair to some. Emma was hesitant to say anything. Many students were upset, so she wanted to speak out [vyjádrit se]. At a school meeting, she spoke out [ozvala] against the unfair rules. Her voice was clear and confident.

Other students began to speak up too [ozývat se]. They shared their thoughts and suggestions. The teacher listened and said, "I'm glad you all spoke up [jste se všichni vyjádřili]. It's important to share your opinions."

From that day on, Emma felt more confident in speaking up [se vyjadřovala] during classes. She and Lucas became good friends. They worked together on projects.
