    🍏 Looks good to me. In this example, “regarding” just means “about”. You could also say: He was interviewed about his recent discovery. He was interviewed with respect to his recent discovery. He was interviewed concerning his recent discovery. He was interviewed in regard to his recent discovery. Ah, so many options. Have a great day! 😎👍🍎

    🍏 I would say they're quite similar. In my experience, the main difference is that the word “lazy” is used much more and more understood than the word “indolent”. Here are some synonyms from Google for indolent: synonyms: lazy, idle, slothful, loafing, work-shy, shiftless, apathetic, lackadaisical, inactive, inert, lifeless, sluggish, lethargic, listless, languid, torpid, slow, slow-moving, dull, plodding; slack, lax, remiss, negligent, good-for-nothing Have a great day! 😊👍🍎

    🍏 The sentences are similar but they do have their differences. In both cases your physical location is close to the door. However, when you say, “I'm standing at the door” it makes me think that you are about to go through the door or attempt to enter the building. When you say, “I'm standing by the door,” you could just be passing time there, hanging out with your friends in that location, or perhaps planning to enter at a different time. When you say, “I'm standing by the door,” there is a lack of communicated intent to enter the dwelling, building, or location. If you say, “I'm standing next to the door” it is almost the same thing as saying, “I'm standing by the door”. Using “next to” and “by” draws focus to your physical closeness to the door. It is unclear whether or not you are planning to go through the door. I hope this helps. Have a great day! 😊👍🍎

    🍏 I would say it depends on the context. Here are a couple examples: 1) Let's pretend I'm a personal trainer. My client is improving their daily habits and is becoming more healthy. I might say to him or her, “That's more like it.” This communicates that they're doing better than they were before. We're comparing past behavior with current behavior. I might also say, “That’s it. That’s how we do it.” I say this in an encouraging way to communicate that my client’s current actions are correct and effective. 2) “That's it” can also be a response when we no longer have a supply of something. In other words, when something has run out. For example, let's say I donate clothing to poor people. After I'm all finished donating, someone comes up to me and asks for more. I say, “I'm sorry that's it. I have no more.” In situation #1, “that's more like it” and “that's it” have similar meanings. However, in situation #2 “that's it” is completely different than “that's more like it”. I hope this helps you. Great question! 😎👍🍎
