| Phrase | look |
| Text | In this podcast, the word "look" is a word used to get someone's attention and ask them to understand what one is saying or showing: "Look, I'm sorry I hurt your feelings, but I didn't mean to insult you." The word "look" also refers to one's appearance, including clothing and hair: "Sheila prefers a very sophisticated look, but her brother likes a more casual look." The phrase "to look up" means to find a piece of information in a directory, manual, or database: "I need to look up the plumber's phone number." The phrase "to look down on (someone or something)" means to judge and determine that one is better than someone or something: "William looks down on poor people." Finally, the phrase "to look the other way" means to ignore something or pretend that something isn't happening or doesn't exist: "How can you look the other way when so many people are homeless and hungry?" |
