sentence transformation

Dear All,

Can anybody help me whether these sentence transformations are OK?

Sentence transformations:

You look very tired today.

THOUGH

You look___________________ today.

You look as though you were very tired today.

Is it correct to say?

The other:

When I entered the room I noticed that someone had been there.

ON

________________________I noticed that someone had been there.

On the spur of the moment, I noticed that someone had been there.

Or:

On the treshold of the door, I noticed that someone had been there.

I am still wondering what the solution might be... :)

Can anybody help, please?

Thanks a million for it in advance.

Have a lovely day for everybody.

I agree with pupa on the second one, also the first one should read:

You look as though you ARE very tired today.

Since the original sentence is in the present tense.
