Recovering energy.

Are you a person who likes to stay at home?
Not really… I work from home so the second I finish work, I like to get out of the house. I begin to feel a bit claustrophobic if I spend all day indoors. I’m not the type of person who gets up super early to go for a walk in the morning, but I certainly need to get out the house for a few hours at least each day.

Definitely, Yes. I work on an eight hours rotation system; early, late and night shift. But I spend three hours traveling from my home to the workplace, to and fro. This means I spend eleven hours out of my home everyday. Upon returning home, I prefer to stay home and recover the energy I would have spent while out on work. This prepare me well for the following day at work and effectively manage fatigue.
Your answer is really good! Just a few small corrections:
“I work on an eight-hour rotation system; early, late, and night shifts. But I spend three hours traveling from my home to the workplace, back and forth. This means I spend eleven hours outside my home every day. Upon returning home, I prefer to stay at home and recover the energy I would have spent while at work. This prepares me well for the following day at work and helps me effectively manage fatigue.”
Great job! Keep it up!
Thank you so much for your response and corrections. I promise to take note of these corrections in my subsequent responses.
You are welcome! Good luck with your studies, and if you need any more help or tips, feel free to ask.
Not really, I go out each day at least 10 to 14 hours daily to work. However, any day that I’m not working, I spent the time at home resting. I’m not that type of person that can stay indoors, it makes me feel sick.
Good effort! Here is a revised version of your answer:
“Not really, I go out each day for at least 10 to 14 hours for work. However, on days when I’m not working, I spend my time at home resting. I’m not the type of person who can stay indoors, as it makes me feel sick.”
Keep up the good work!
It depends on my mood.
I’m the kind of person who wants to spend many hours outside discovering new places in nature or enjoying my favourite cup of coffee by myself in a cafe with spectacular view.
I mentioned by myself because I’m not a social person…I always prefer to enjoy my own company.
I’m feeling depressed when I spend long hours in my house especially while the kids are at school.
Your answer is great! You have expressed your thoughts very clearly. Just a few corrections:
“I mentioned by myself because I’m not a social person…”
Correction: “I mentioned by myself because I’m not a social person…”
“especially while the kids are at school.”
Correction: “especially when the kids are at school.”
Overall, well done! Keep up the good work!
Thanks..I really appreciate your help…
You’re welcome! If you have any more questions or need further help, feel free to ask. Good luck with your studies!
Well, I’m one of the person who really like to stay out of the home because as I living in avery rural countryside I don’t have much things to do in my village, and since my childhood I was not spent my time at my home. Usually all of our villagers are willing to go out and full fill our needful things, even if we want to go for hospital we have to go out of the place where we live, there aren’t much facilities available. As we living in the modern world we should come out of our village to find out the reality of the world. So, if we want to find a better oath to ourselves we should move away to our home, this is because I said that I want to stay out of my home. On the other hand hone is the best place where we can find true faces of ourselves. But in my situation I would like to be out of my hime to become fit to the current world that we live.

Even if we need to go to the hospital, we have to leave the place where we live as there aren’t many facilities available. Living in the modern world, we should explore outside of our village to discover the reality of the world. So, if we want to find a better path for ourselves, we should move away from our home. This is why I prefer to stay out of my home. On the other hand, home is the best place where we can find our true selves. But in my situation, I would like to be out of my home to adapt to the current world that we live in.
Overall, your answer provides good explanations for your preference of staying out of home. Remember to use “people” instead of “person” as you are referring to yourself in the plural form. Additionally, be careful with spelling and make sure to proofread your response for any typos. Good job!
Thank you very much for your corrections with the explanation, it’s really help ti improve myself. Thank you.
You’re welcome! It’s my pleasure to help. Good luck with your studies!
I don’t have any preference, actually. I reckon I have found a good balance between staying at home and leaving the house. I can’t just do one of the two things all day.
Your answer is well-structured and clear. Just a few minor improvements:
“I don’t have any preference, actually. I think I have found a good balance between staying at home and going out. I can’t just do one of the two things all day.”
Great job! Keep up the good work!
Not, really! I am not a type of person who can stay at home all day because I am restless and I need to spend my energy. When I go from home, I ride a bike in a local park because I have lots of energy.
