Look Up Today I have learned this new phrasal verb. It has one than another meaning, it can be used to order our view to see up, but it also means "to search" as well as "to admire ". It's also more informaly to say "to be in touch" or that something has "become better" using this phrasal verb. For example: The business is looking up at last. Or : Look me up when you're in town again. I don't know if the next example is right and even understood, so please tell me: My english is finally looking up.? Ok. I will keep on learning more phrasal verbs in order to sound more natural because I know that english speakers use them many times. I wrote down other few examples: - Let's better go to England in July when the weather is looking up. - I have always looked up to the kind of people who truly care about others. - I need to look her up and tell what has really happend.

     I <em>learned</em> a new phrasal verb <em>today</em>. It has <em>more than one</em> meaning. <em>It</em> can be used to <em>direct our vision</em>, but it also means "to search" as well as "to admire". It's also <em>used</em> <em>informally</em> to <em>mean</em> that something "<em>became</em> better," <em>or to contact someone.</em> For example<em>;</em> "<em>t</em><em>he</em> business is looking up at last," or "look me up when you're in town again."

     I don't know if <em>this </em>example is right <em>or</em> even understood: "My <em>English</em> is finally looking up." I will keep-on learning phrasal verbs in order to sound more natural, because I know that <em>English</em> speakers use them <em>often</em>.

     I wrote down other few examples: 

- <em>Let's go</em> to England in July when the weather is looking up.
- I have always looked up <em>to people</em> who truly care about others.
- I need to look her up and tell what <em>actually</em> <em>happened.</em>

<em>   "Look me up" no significa "be in touch". Significa "encontrar a alguien". Proviene de los viejos días en que solíamos guías telefónicas para localizar números de teléfono y direcciones. Tenga en cuenta los cambios que se hicieron a la redacción. Dígame si tiene preguntas.</em>
