  • We went out of the house and looked round. There were trees and flowers everywhere. It was splendid!
  • I waited for her at the bus stop. I kept looking round me all the time but she never came.
  • I screamed. Then I looked about and saw that everyone was staring at me.
  • The headmaster came into the classroom, looked round, spotted Bill and told him to follow him to his office.
