How do you like to celebrate when you finally reach a goal? Big party or quiet treat?

A natural way to answer

It depends on the goal. For small wins I usually treat myself to a nice coffee. For big ones, I like to mark the occasion with close friends and properly make a fuss of it.

Key phrases to use

• take it easy — relax and not do much“After the exam, I just took it easy all weekend.”
• make a fuss — give something a lot of attention, often to celebrate“They made a fuss of her on her birthday.”
• push the boat out — spend a lot or go to extra effort for a celebration“For their anniversary they really pushed the boat out.”
