Native English speakers, could you please help me with this issue?

I'd never use the word "striking" to describe news. "striking" describes someone's appearance in a favorable way (in the US).

News could be unbelievable, incredible, fantastic, tragic, uplifting, surprising, stunning, but striking sounds a little off to me. Maybe they say it in Britain, but not here in the US. It would be helpful if you'd specify which "version" of English you want to speak. Even though the grammar is 99.999% the same, we don't always use words in exactly the same way.

a) "Naturally, I thought soon about the worst."

2. And in case they do, do the sentences mean the same as the following:


a) "Naturally, I thought immediately about the worst.

b) "I disagree immediately in your first statement."




3. In case the former two sentences are correct, is that the most natural way of expressing them?

What does 'waved out' mean?



2. Is this sentence correct:

"She suffered a work accident."

Native English speakers, could you please help me with these issues?

No, your sentence is not quite correct. It should be written like this:
It takes a while to get used to putting in contact lenses, because, as you at first bring your finger close to your eye, the eye closes, because of a natural reflex action.
[Please note: you put in one lens at a time, therefore it is not really accurate to speak of "...eyes..."]

A) is correct, and more likely in Britain.

B) is correct, but more likely in the USA.
