If a friend turned up needing to stay the night unexpectedly, where would they end up sleeping, and how would you make it work?

A natural way to answer

I've got a small spare room with a sofa bed, so I'd make that up for them. I'd find some clean towels and make sure they had everything they needed. It's not luxurious, but it does the job.

Key phrases to use

• chuck on — to switch on or put on something quickly and casually“I'll chuck on the kettle for a cuppa.”
• make do — to manage with what you have, even if it's not ideal“We didn't have a spare bed, so we made do with cushions on the floor.”
• give up — to let someone else have something that was yours“He gave up his seat for the elderly woman.”
• bunk down — to sleep somewhere temporary or makeshift for the night“I bunked down on the floor and slept fine.”
