Ví dụ
She is also viewed as a down-to-earth person and not caught up (cuốn vào) in all things Hollywood, even though her career is firmly entrenched (cố thủ) in the movie capitol.

On the contrary (ngược lại), he was receptive (tiếp thu nhanh) and chatty — and spoke with us for a couple minutes.

“He has to do some of the Lyndon Johnson ‘come, let us reason together,’ real down-to-earth stuff that Johnson did,” said Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat who is a leading proponent (đề xuất) of gun safety, invoking (cầu khẩn) the former president and onetime Senate majority leader who was famous for leaning on lawmakers — not only figuratively but sometimes physically — to get the legislation he wanted.
