What do you usually do when it's pouring with rain on a day off?

A natural way to answer

When it's pouring, I usually decide to stay in. I'll catch up on some reading or cook something nice. There's no pressure to go out, so I tend to take it easy and enjoy the quiet.

Key phrases to use

• stay in — remain at home rather than going out“It's cold, so let's just stay in tonight.”
• curl up — sit or lie in a comfortable, cosy position with your body bent in“She curled up on the sofa with a blanket.”
• take it easy — relax and not do anything too demanding“I'm going to take it easy this weekend.”
