English: parent smile and grammar(see, look, watch)
Читаю тексты на LingvoLeo, удобно, что незнакомые слова сразу по клику переводятся. И мучаю мужа, кидая ему в скайп понравившиеся фразы и анекдоты. Вот чтоб больше мужа не мучить, буду мучить ЖЖ-френдов :)
In the house, where there are children, perfectly clean can only be in the bowl of candy
An old, tired-looking dog wandered into the yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home.
He followed me into the house, down the hall, and fell asleep on the couch. An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out. The next day he was back, resumed his position on the couch and slept for an hour. This continued for several weeks. Curious, I pinned a note to his collar: 'Every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap.'
The next day he arrived with a different note pinned to his collar: 'He lives in a home with four children - he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?'
Use SEE when something comes into our eyes, with or without our effort:
- I saw you in the mall yesterday
Use LOOK (AT) when you are using your effort, and generally for something that is not moving or progressing:
- I looked at the painting for five minutes, but could not understand it
Use WATCH when you are using your effort, and something is moving or progressing
- I like to go to the beach and watch the sunset.
