Do you enjoy having people over to your place, or do you prefer meeting out somewhere?

A natural way to answer

It depends on my mood. Meeting out is easier because there's no tidying up, but having people over feels more personal and comfortable. On a quiet weekend, I usually prefer to host at home.

Key phrases to use

• kick back — to relax completely and take it easy“After a long week, I just want to kick back at home.”
• throw together — to make or prepare something quickly and without much fuss, especially a meal“I can throw together a quick pasta in ten minutes.”
• in my element — doing something you love and are good at, feeling completely comfortable“Put him in a kitchen and he's in his element.”
