How to use looking in a sentence?

  1. Frans Timmermans:

    We've seen over the last couple of years that radical climate-change deniers have changed their position because the facts are so overwhelming. It's an untenable position, i would assume, as a politician myself, that Donald Trump is thinking about the next election and he's looking at American society. And if you see how much support there is in American society to act upon climate change, he's probably doing the math and thinking that if I want to be reelected, I have to take this seriously.

  2. Donald Trump:

    A couple of them aren't running that I was hoping were going to run, i was sort of looking forward to that.

  3. Beth Blauer:

    There is nothing so stark than looking at the disproportionate amount of Black and Latino people that are [ contracting and ] dying from this disease, knowing there is no medical safety net for them and also understanding that there are deliberate decisions that aren't taking their best interests in mind, this is the piece that I think has been the most difficult for me.

  4. Carey Mulligan:

    I feel it's important that criticism is constructive, i think it's important that we are looking at the right things when it comes to work, and we're looking at the art, and we're looking at the performance and the way that a film is made. And I don't think that goes to the appearance of an actor or your personal preference for what an actor does or doesn't look like, which it felt that that article did.

  5. Mark Zandi:

    From a 30,000-foot level, if you're looking at it from down on high, I expect a recession -- if we have one -- would be six months, nine months, something like that, unemployment would rise from 3.6 % to 5.5 %, 6 %, something like that. Not good, but you know, in the grand scheme of things, kind of more typical, comparable to other recessions we've experienced in the past.
