WHICH IS BETTER
大家說英語20240523
Everyone likes to take a break from school or work.
You can take a vacation.
Time away from your usual environment is refreshing.
Vacations also give you an opportunity to travel with friends and family.
But you can save money with a staycation.
You don’t have to pay for hotels.
You don’t have to pack a suitcase.
You can visit interesting local places near your home.
Either way, it’s important to take time for yourself to enjoy life.

We can’t just keep working and working every day, it’s important to take time off.
So we’re ready to do good work when it’s time to.

environment就是环境
opportunity就是机会
staycation宅度假
pack就是打包

Hey, Greg. How are you?
Tired! My work never seems to end!
I feel the same way sometimes.
I need a vacation.
Time away from your usual environment can be refreshing.
Yes. I’d like an opportunity to go to a fun place.
You could see the sites and do fun things.
I would love that.
But vacations are expensive.
Try a staycation.
You mean just stay home?
That wouldn’t be any fun.
Sure it would!
You could visit interesting local places.
True. I usually don’t make time騰出時間 to visit local places.
You don’t have to pack a suitcase or pay for a hotel.
Maybe I’ll try a staycation.
But a vacation would be more fun.
Decide after you try a staycation.

My work never seems to end!
我的工作似乎永远做不完

And here’s another report that I need.
My work never seems to end.
And you can take a break when your work is done.
But my work never seems to end.
Neither does mine.

If something refreshes you it means that when you do it you get your energy back and you are happy and excited.
Think of a piece of fruit, that’s sitting around for too long, it’s not fresh anymore.
What if you could turn back time and make it fresh again?
You would be refreshing it.
Spending time away from your office or school can help you feel refreshed.
Staycation is a funny kind of made-up word, but it’s become a popular word.
It’s a combination of the stay and vacation.
So if you take a staycation, you’re going to stay at home but take a break.
