BAND 8 MODEL ANSWER
To be honest, I have been living a hectic (busy) life since I graduated from university so I cannot remember well the last time I had time to unwind (relax); therefore, I desperately long for (have a strong desire for sth) having a day off to let my hair down (to allow yourself to behave much more freely than usual and enjoy yourself ).
Well, I imagine that I would squander the whole morning sleep in (to sleep until later in the morning than you usually do) and turn off my phone to avoid being disturbed by others. After enjoying my big breakfast in my elegant dining room, I would call my best friend since we haven’t had a chit-chat (informal conversation about matters that are not important) for a long time. After that, I would get dressed up a little bit and go out to have lunch with my family at my favorite restaurant. In the afternoon, I guess I would go shopping since it is an ideal way to lift up my spirit. Then, I would attend a yoga class to strengthen my muscles and relax my mind because I haven’t had chance to practice yoga for such a long time due to the chaos at work.
So that is the way I would spend my day off. There is no specific reason why I would like to do these things. Basically, socializing and working under pressure at work really stress me out and this couldn’t be a more perfect time for me to let off some steam (to do something that helps you to get rid of strong feelings or energy). Obviously, after taking a day off, my productivity at work will surely be improved.
