  • Hi there.

  • This is Harry, and welcome back to my podcasts, where we try to help you to understand a little bit about the english language, how to converse with other people in any environment, business or personal.

  • So, what do I have for you today?

  • Okay, so the first podcast is in relation to a favorite topic of everybody's, and that's travel.

  • So I'm going to look at traveling colocations and give you some examples.

  • So there's a number of phrases.

  • First, to take time off work.

  • Well, we use this when we say we're going to go on holiday.

  • It might not be a long holiday, it might be a short holiday, it could be your summer vacations.

  • But we like to take time off work occasionally, to enjoy ourselves or to enjoy our family, or just to have a break.

  • So to take time off work means.

  • To take a few days or a couple of weeks, or sometimes even a little longer.

  • Usually it's referring to holidays.

  • Of course, it could be to do with illness.

  • He had to take time off work.

  • To get over a bad fluid, or.

  • He had to take time off work.

  • To go to a relative's funeral.

  • But in traveling, we take time off work to enjoy our holidays, summer, winter, whatever it might be.

  • Next one I have for you is off the beaten track.
