A natural way to answer

It depends on my mood, really. A city break is great when I want energy and culture, but a nature getaway is better when I need to recharge my batteries. If I had to choose, I'd pick somewhere peaceful.

Key phrases to use

  • wear out — make someone very tired“Sightseeing all day wears me out.”
  • switch off — stop thinking about work or stress and relax“I find it hard to switch off on holiday.”
  • recharge my batteries — rest so you get your energy back“A weekend away helps me recharge my batteries.”
  • done in — completely exhausted“After the hike I was absolutely done in.”
