A natural way to answer

I love a small wildlife reserve near my hometown. There's a quiet hide where you can sit and watch deer come out at dusk. It's calm and you feel completely removed from everyday life.

Key phrases to use

  • clear my head — do something calm to stop worrying and think more clearly“I went for a walk to clear my head.”
  • potter about — move around in a relaxed, unhurried way, doing small things“The ducks were pottering about by the water.”
  • lost in the moment — so absorbed in what's happening that you forget everything else“We danced, completely lost in the moment.”
  • stays with you — remain memorable and meaningful long afterwards“Some films just stay with you.”
