Is there any awkward expression?

At some point, you felt like *what* was a waste of time? That first sentence on its own is confusing, and unfortunately, because the first sentence of a paragraph provides context (or in this case, doesn’t) it makes the entire thing confusing.

It took me a second, but I was able to determine all that you were trying to say here. A couple comments I think your first sentence should be picked up and dropped after the next sentence, because when you start your answer with that the reader goes "What was a waste of time??" I don't think "in that case" does what you want it to here. I might replace that whole sentence with "Now I think it's best to spend time like a child." When you say "don't worry about the future, do what you like" etc, it's phrased as if you're giving advice. I mean, you kind of are, but I wouldn't phrase it like that when the question is about you. Say "*I* don't worry about the future and *I* do what I like, eat delicious things, and *get* (not spend) enough sleep" Hope this helps!

The entire thing is awkward. Even your question in the title of the post of worded weirdly. “Is there any awkward expression?” Where? In general? I think you want to ask “Are there any awkward expressions in this paragraph?” But “awkward expression” doesn’t mean what you think. You want to ask “Is the language in my response awkwardly worded?” > Q: what specific activity helps you unwind after a long and stressful day? The key word here is *specific*. You never answer the question. What *specific* activity do you do, when you want to unwind at the end of the day? > At some point, I felt like it was a waste of time. “At some point” implies you’ve already specified a time period, or you are about to, and this “point” of time exists inside that time period. But you haven’t established a setting. There’s no context. You felt like *what* was a waste of time? And this sentence is in the past tense… What already happened that you are talking about? Why are you talking in the past tense? This sentence is completely unhelpful. > I want to spend a lot of time on self-development, but sometimes I want to take a full rest. The question is already assuming that it is the end of a long stressful day, and you’re going to relax. You don’t have to explain again that you’ve decided you want to relax. “Unwind” implies you are going to do something that is not stressful and is likely going to relieve stress. Examples might include taking a nap, having a drink, watching tv, calling a friend, going for a walk, or doing another relaxing hobby like painting (whether you find painting relaxing might depend on the person). > In that case, I try to spend it like a child. In *what* case? Spend *what* like a child? I think you can completely restructure your first 3 sentences as “When I want to rest, I spend my time like a child would.” But also, why are you spending time like a child? Doesn’t everyone, not just children, want to unwind when they’re stressed? This comparison is weird. > Don’t worry about the future, do what you like, Why are you giving advice to someone else? You are supposed to be describing what you do, not telling someone what to do. Also, this is not specific enough to answer the question. The question is asking what you like to do, and you answer “do what you like”. 😑 It’s like someone asked you “What did you eat?” and you responded “I ate”. > eat delicious things, Ok your first specific answer to the question. It’s still awkward. You eat delicious foods, not things. > and spend enough sleep. This isn’t grammatically or logically correct. It should be “get enough sleep”. You don’t spend sleep. You get sleep. And this isn’t exactly specific enough to answer the question of what you do at the end of the day. This is like saying “I get enough exercise throughout the week and I eat a balanced diet.” That has nothing to do with what you do any the end of the day, it’s something you do in general. Do you take a nap? That would be a specific activity. So far your answer to the question could be corrected and simplified to “When I want to rest, I eat delicious foods and take a nap.” Think more about *specific* activities you do *at the end of the day* when you’re stressed and you want to unwind.

First, your question would be more clear if you wrote it as: "Is there anything awkward about this response?" "Expression" isn't necessarily *wrong* here but it's not the word most native speakers would use, and you didn't specify what you are referring to. To answer the question, I would rephrase the paragraph as follows: "~~At some point, I felt like it was a waste of time.~~ I want to spend a lot of time on self-development, but sometimes I ~~want~~ *prefer* to take a full rest, *which can feel like a waste of time*. In that case, I try to spend it like a child. Don't worry about the future, do what ~~you~~ *I* like, eat delicious things, and ~~spend~~ *get* enough sleep."

If I'm guessing correctly what you're trying to say: ~~At some point~~ **Sometimes,** ~~I felt like it~~ **I feel like the day** was a waste of time. **(?)** **Sometimes**, I want to spend a lot of **my** time on self-development, but ~~sometimes~~ **other times** I **just** want to ~~take a full rest~~ **relax**. In that case, I try to ~~spend it like a child~~ **think like back when I was a child**. ~~Don't~~ **I won't** worry about the future: **I'll just** do what ~~you~~ **I** like; eat delicious things, and ~~spend~~ **try to get** enough sleep.
