Articles: Humour | Is English is easy? - Prof. 00782 Maverick
| |
It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky
or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the
morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does
a topic come UP? Why do we speak UP and why are the
officers UP for election and why is it UP to the
secretary to write UP a report ?
We call UP our friends. And we use it to brighten UP
a room, polish UP the silver; warm UP the leftovers
and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and
some guys fix UP the old car. At other times the
little word has real special meaning. People stir UP
trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite,
and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but
to be dressed UP is special.
And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP
because it is stopped UP. We open UP a store in the
morning but we close it UP at night.
