See you soon to let your hair down and turn it off, well, it's like turning off the electric lights, you know, you just turn off, okay, so, oh, I'm looking forward to the holidays, we've got two weeks ahead of us and we're off. and assuming there are no problems with the flights, we are just going to turn off, lie on a beach, swim a lot, relax, get a little tan, some good local cuisine, yes, we are going to turn off, so turn off means forget. mostly disconnecting from work disconnecting from family disconnecting from what other activities keep you busy all the school runs and helping with homework and all those kinds of problems so we're both on summer vacation or if you're lucky three weeks really They will help you disconnect from hanging out so it's about doing something different it's about resting and

relaxation How did you spend your summer vacation?

I I I was hanging out with my friends most of the time, so what do the kids love to do during During summer vacation, they don't want to go to school, but they don't want to lose touch with their friends, so if they friends are local or not that far away, you will like, if you can, hang out with them. Of course, in the modern world they can hang out on the Internet, they can hang out playing computer games, but you know they like to go to the park, play soccer, play tennis, go swimming, go to the movies, eat pizza together, yeah, they like to go out with their friends to be together sometimes doing nothing in particular sometimes just doing nothing or I was in Charles' room at home and we were just hanging out listening to music he had good music, we downloaded something and phoned up a pizza we had a really good time hanging out together

relaxing

well, when we want to relax it means we might feel a little stressed, we might feel a little tense so when you're relaxed, you literally let yourself Go, try to relax completely.

Some ways to relax could be to start the night with a nice massage, which is a nice way to relax, or you can relax sitting in front of the TV watching a movie having a glass of wine, which is a nice comfortable way to relax with your feet in. high, so there are many ways that we can find rest and relaxation and we generally classify it as relaxing, how did you relax? Oh, it was wonderful. I went to this new place on the outskirts of town. I was there for a day. I was able to really relax.

It was absolutely wonderful. I started with a massage and then those seaweed baths. Oh, you should really try it. Kate. It's wonderful to relax to stop thinking about something. Well, when you stop thinking about something, if you want. forget it, so let's go away for the weekend and focus on work, go out at night, try that new restaurant and stop thinking about all the problems with the kids, all about school and the points that university will take away from you. Don't think about something, so it might just be for a few hours, it might be for a weekend, and if you're really lucky, it might be for a longer period during your summer vacation, but whatever you do Whatever you do and however you do it, wanting to stop thinking about something means forgetting about it or, if you can't deal with the problem, putting it in the back of your mind and then dealing with it when you come back, the problem will still be there when you're done. with the holidays, but let's try to relax during the holidays and stop thinking about things or stop thinking about things.

If you like it please like the video and if you can subscribe to the channel I would really appreciate it because it really helps slow down, this is good advice we could all follow. Yes, slow down. Why does everyone want to do things at 100 miles per hour? Why when they send you an email do they look for a response immediately? Because when? They send you a text message on WhatsApp They send you a message two minutes later Did you receive my text message? Did you receive this? Yes, so we just have to sit down, breathe deeply, yes, slow down, the world is still there, the world is still working. around it will always spin, so what we have to do is slow down a little bit, take a step back and slow down.

A good way to rest. A good way to relax. That leads us to take a breath. Okay, so this is literally taking a breath. It's okay to take a deep breath and breathe, but if you've been working really hard or maybe doing some sporting activity, let's say you've been running on the treadmill at the gym and then you stop after 20 minutes, say "oh, I guess so." I'll take a break, which means I'll take a short break or you could be redecorating the room and after 2 hours you've been removing wallpaper from the walls, the room is very hot and stuffy, you say: I'm going to go out and take a break for 10 minutes.

I'll be back shortly, so taking a break means stepping away or stopping what you're doing for a short period of time. There could be a very important marketing meeting in your office. and after about 2 hours the boss says okay look I think it's time for us to take a break, let's take a lunch break, we'll be back here at 2:15 and we can pick up where we left off for a break to rest and relax. you go out and have that coffee you sit and think a little foot loose and free of fantasy an ideal idiomatic expression foot loose and free of fantasy so what does it mean?

Free foot means you really have no direction to go fancy free means well, you have no ties, you have no obligations, so you can do what you really want. A good time to use it is when the kids have gone to spend the summer with their grandmother or are away for a couple of days or nights. and you can say to your partner, well, my feet are loose or we're loose and fantasy-free, so what we're going to do, let's put our heads down and go to the city or whatever it is you're planning to do, but you're not doing it.

You don't have to worry about the children because they are outside. You don't have to come back at midnight because they're out. You don't have to be thinking about getting up at 8 or 9:00 in the morning to prepare breakfast. They are a way for you to be truly free and elegant, that is, without ties or obligations, you are your own boss, you can do what you want with your time, you can do nothing or you can do many things, but you don't have. To ask for permission you don't have to be running home because someone else needs you to have your feet loose and free to have fun, when we have a lot of fun, we have a great time.

How was the party? Oh, we had a great time. I know it was cool to see all the old guys there that we haven't been together with, oh god I've forgotten how long it's been since we last saw each other but it's been a long time and you know most of them haven't changed . Overall, some with a few less hairs, some with a little extra weight, but you know they're the same as always, so we had a great time. No, no one got very drunk. Some guys were a little drunk, but they really had fun. I had a great time, so having fun is a good way to rest and recover or rest and relax because you get out of yourself, get away from the hum of normal life and start talking or interacting with people in this situation. which you haven't seen for some time, so to have fun if you have something that isn't working properly, for example your mobile phone or something that requires power, you have to recharge the batteries, so you plug it in like it's your electricity. razor or mobile phone, you plug it in and recharge the batteries so you can use it for the next two, three or four days.

Well, just like your cell phone, just like your electric shaver, you'll need to recharge your battery from time to time. so we use this expression when we feel like it's time to rest and relax, well, I'm going to spend the next 3 or 4 days just recharging my batteries or I didn't do anything over the weekend other than recharging my batteries I woke up late Saturday morning I went to get my hair cut and get a massage. I even skipped the gym. I just said, "Well, this is it. I'm going to put my feet up for the day, recharge my batteries, and see where it takes me." It was a really, really good time on Sunday afternoon.

Well, my feet were a little itchy, so I went to the gym on Sunday afternoon and did a little exercise, but nothing strenuous, so it was still part of my battery recharging phase. going through it, to recharge your batteries, make you feel better, have energy or recharge for the next week and finally enjoy something really good to rest and relax. I'm going to enjoy some chocolate, okay? so I'm going to sit in front of the TV to look for the movie I wanted to watch. I have some chocolate and I'm going to treat myself. I know I shouldn't, but it's dark chocolate so it's probably not that bad.

Anyway, to treat yourself or you could tell your partner why don't we go away for the weekend, let's go to that hotel in the countryside near the forest and treat ourselves. I heard they have a great spa. We even have a golf course. Maybe you'd like to play a little golf, but let's treat yourself for a few days. Let's get pampered. Let's make ourselves feel special or really good so we can completely disconnect. So all these expressions are all related. so you can take it easy, get some rest, relax and we all need those nowadays, so let's go over them again, like I said, there are 12, take it easy, let your hair down, turn off, hang out with, hang out the time with your friends relax, it's okay, make sure that with that pronunciation relax, relax, take your mind off something, take your mind off something, forget about it, slow down, take it easy, slow down, take a breath , go out, you know, don't play all night. loose and elegant foot fcy free loose and elegant foot free to have fun, recharge your batteries and finally treat yourself to something, enjoy something pleasant, all about relaxing and unwinding, these are advanced English idioms and expressions related to rest and relaxation. so you won't remember them all you will never have to practice some of them look at some that you like use them and come back and then use some of the others don't try to remember them all at the same time and if you need extra help you can get me at www.English lessons Vias skype.com very happy to hear from you very happy when you can join us this is how you say goodbye until next time join me for the next lesson
