"Sit up and take notice" = giật mình và chú ý. Cụm từ này có nghĩa hãy chú ý và hướng sự tập trung đến ai đó/ điều gì đó. 

Ví dụ 
Wink Girl Priya Prakash Varrier was able to make people sit up and take notice of her even before her debut film (phim đầu tay) Oru Adaar Love could hit the theatres. However, the film, directed by Omar Lulu, turned out to be a disaster at the box office (phòng vé) with fans criticising her underwhelming (không gây ấn tượng) performance. 

Hi-tech state-of-the-art (công nghệ tiên tiến nhất) house-building factories have long been seen as a rescue for New Zealand's residential construction sector, which is struggling to cope with strong demand (nhu cầu mạnh mẽ). So when one of the largest players in the sector says it is using this as a solution, it's time to sit up and take notice. 

Three out of 10 Hong Kong individuals have experienced some kind of mental health (sức khỏe tinh thần) issue at some point in their lifetime. And, an even more alarming figure, is that two out of five have experienced suicidal (tự tử) thoughts – a disturbingly high number that will undoubtedly cause human resource practitioners (người hành nghề) to sit up and take notice when considering their duty of care to an organisation’s employees.
