Ví dụ
Warning bells start to ring when his daughter Helen discovered he was being called almost on a daily basis about a service to intercept (chặn) and eliminate (loại trừ) sales calls he’d never signed up to. Helen said she routinely visits his Eastney home once a week to do his essential shopping and they’ve an arrangement to alert her to cold callers so that he’s not prey to rogue traders.
I wonder if the fact that the government of this country is now led by someone demonstrably (rõ ràng) lacking the integrity that we should reasonably expect in our Prime Minister might be now starting to ‘bear fruit’ in the actions of his ministers, starting with Robert Jenrick? His cv reads quite well, but compare that with the past history of his favoured East London developer and warning bells start to ring deafeningly.
For me, sunscreen in mascara is the point at which warning bells start to ring. Dr Mahto is dubious (mơ hồ), too. ‘That sounds like a bit of a gimmick,’ she says. ‘We do under-utilise sunscreen on our eyelids — it is a commonly missed area — but putting SPF mascara on our eyelashes? I’m not sure there’s any real value in that.’
