How do you feel about the washing-up after a big meal?

A natural way to answer

I don't mind it, to be honest. I try to clean as I go, so there's less to deal with at the end. There's something quite satisfying about a tidy kitchen once everything's done.

Key phrases to use

• put something off — to delay doing something you don't want to do“I keep putting off the cleaning.”
• stare you in the face — to be very obvious or impossible to ignore“The mess was staring me in the face all morning.”
