When you're calm, or you're relaxed, you can always say,

But don't you want to use some more colorful English slang?

When it's cold, your body and any animal's body

moves a lot more slowly, so we use the phrase chill

It's my day off, so I'm going to chill out today.

Since it's my day off, I think I'm just going to chill out.

I chilled out at home last night watching TV.

You're going to love hanging out with Jack.

Mellow out is also a verb that means to relax.

Jenny was mellowing out on the sofa this afternoon.

Yeah, I think she was just mellowing out.

I'm going to go home tonight and just take it easy.

Sometimes, you might need to tell somebody to relax.

In that case, here are some phrases you can use.

This is a little bit of a 1980s sounding phrase,

but you can still use it to tell somebody to relax.

then you can tell somebody, hey, hold your horses.

might decide to punch someone and maybe in the old days

they would take their shirt off to do that.

So if you want somebody to relax a little bit

and you reduce the heat to the lowest level possible.

So when you lower your tension down to the lowest point,

Jack, I think you need to simmer down, OK?

Hey, why don't you just take a chill pill, OK?

A chill pill, we imagine there is some kind of pill

that someone can take to make them chill or relaxed.

Do you know anybody that needs to take a chill pill?

Hey, thanks for studying, and I'll see you next time
