### In the lessons

In science, a fair test has a control group and controlled variables that stay the same. In everyday life, children learn to control their temper, and a remote control works the TV. In safety, drivers must keep control of the car; «out of control» means nobody can stop it. Phrases: remote control, in control, out of control, under control, lose control, take control, self-control.
