有时候我们撞破头想出来的英文表达，母语者可能用很简单的词汇就可以准确地道的表达，所以词不在难，不在大，要用的准确，才事半功倍。
I usually watch movies to relax myself.
注：Relax myself 会产生歧义，表达放松我们可以说：
1.I usually watch movies to relax./ let off steam.
2.Watching movies is a good way to put myself at ease.
贰
It gives me a good mood.
我们说完心情好了，但是考官心情可能不会好。地道的说法是：
It puts me in a good mood /in a good state of mind.
It makes my day.
叁
It adds joys to my life.
正确的打开方式是：
It adds spice to my life （表示丰富生活）
It always brightens/makes my day/week.
划重点：make one‘s day 让某人的一天开心
Listening to a variety of music spices up my life.
划重点：spice up 给…增添趣味
It breaks up the monotony/daily grind.
划重点：daily grind 日常琐事
肆
Besides
常用于两个递进的观点之间，广泛用于口语和写作之中。但是你一定不知道在母语者看来，besides 后面的观点往往是不重要的，不充分的理由。所以表达递进观点时，用 As well / In addition / Also 这样的连词更准确。
正确例句：I know I shouldn’t have bought a new phone, but I really liked this one. Besides,it was 5% off. （5%的打折并不是买这个手机的决定性因素）I worked at a great company that trained me well. As well / In addition / Also, I was the leader of a successful team. (后者：我是很强的***是重要的观点)
伍
Have a rest

这是一个大家都说，但是不正确的表达。Rest 常用于时间较久/卧床的休息。表达短暂的休息，我们可以说take a break/have a breather / recharge my batteries.
On the weekend, I often stay at home to take a break / relax / unwind/have a breather/recharge my batteries
划重点：on the weekend （美式英语）/ at the weekend （英式英语）
