Some people prefer working or studying at home, others prefer being out among people. Where do you stand?

A natural way to answer

I can see both sides, honestly. Working from home gives you flexibility and fewer interruptions, but being around others keeps you motivated and makes it easier to bounce ideas off people. For me, a mix of the two strikes the right balance.

Key phrases to use

• crack on — to continue working, especially quickly and with focus“Let's crack on so we can finish before lunch.”
• bounce ideas off — to share ideas with someone to get their reactions and improve them“It helps to have a colleague to bounce ideas off.”
• end up procrastinating — to keep delaying work and waste time instead of doing it“If I don't set a deadline, I end up procrastinating all day.”
• feed off — to gain energy or motivation from something or someone“Performers feed off the energy of the crowd.”
