Hi, I’m Liam.

8
This lesson has four parts.
9
In each part, you’ll learn five to six words related to two different main emotions, like anger, fear or happiness.
10
Ready? Let’s start!
11
You look pleased!
12
What’s going on?
13
I finally passed my driving test!
14
I’m so happy!
15
Wow! Congratulations!
16
Thanks… It was my sixth attempt!
17
Sixth? Yeah.
18
I was really stressed beforehand.
19
I’ve been feeling nervous for days, and I haven’t been sleeping well, but in the end it went well.
20
That sounds stressful.
21
What made you so scared?
22
I mean, it’s not the end of the world to fail your driving test.
23
I don’t know.
24
I just built it up in my head, and it became this huge thing.
25
I honestly can’t remember feeling so worried about anything in my life before.
26
You must be relieved to get it over with.
27
For sure. If I’d failed again, I think I’d have just given up.
28
Well, no need to think about that now!
29
Look at six words to describe feelings which you heard in the dialogue.
30
First, a question: three of these words relate to feeling .
31
Which three?
32
‘Nervous’, ‘worried’ and ‘scared’ are all feelings of fear.
33
Do you know how they’re different?
34
‘Nervous’ and ‘worried’ are both low-level fear.
35
‘Scared’ describes a more intense feeling.
36
To describe extreme levels of fear, for example if you’re in a life-threatening situation, you could use adjectives like ‘terrified’ or ‘petrified’.
37
What about the other three adjectives – ‘pleased’, ‘stressed’ and ‘relieved’?
38
One is different from the other two – which one?
39
‘Stressed’ is different, because it’s an unpleasant emotion.
40
‘Pleased’ is similar to ‘happy’, but ‘pleased’ is a reaction to a situation.
41
What does this mean?
42
In English, there are many pairs of words with a similar meaning, but one is used to describe a general state, while the other is used to describe a reaction to a specific situation.
43
‘Happy’ and ‘pleased’ are an example of this.
44
So, you can be ‘happy’ generally, or for long periods of time.
45
You could say: ‘She was happy throughout her retirement.’ However, ‘pleased’ can’t be used like this.
46
You feel pleased at one specific time.
47
For example: ‘I was pleased with how my painting turned out.’ Here, you could also use ‘happy’.
48
‘Happy’ can replace ‘pleased’, but not the other way round.
49
There are other pairs like this; for example: ‘sad - upset’ or ‘angry - cross’.
50
The first word has a general meaning, and the second describes your reaction to something specific.
51
Finally, what about ‘relieved’?
52
What does that mean?
53
You feel relieved when you’re free from pressure or stress.
54
If you have a problem, and the problem is solved, you might feel relieved.
55
Or, if you have an exam, and you think you might fail, you’ll feel relieved when you pass.
56
Let’s look at our next section.
57
In this section, we have a challenge for you.
58
You’ll hear a dialogue, as usual.
59
There are six words relating to emotions in the dialogue.
60
Listen and try to write them down.
61
How’s work going?
62
Urgh… Don’t ask.
63
Going well, then?
64
Don’t even joke about it.
65
I feel miserable.
66
I dread going in every morning, and every day feels like an eternity.
67
Yeah, you seem a bit down.
68
But, a couple of months ago you said things were going OK?
69
They were. Or, I thought they were.
70
That’s the problem – I’m so mixed up!
71
Working in the fashion industry was always my dream, and I worked so hard to get an opportunity.
72
But then, reality started to bite.
73
What do you think went wrong?
74
I’m supposed to be an event manager, but they don’t actually let me make any decisions.
75
I spend all day doing menial work.
76
We had a team meeting last week, and they asked me to go out and get coffee!
77
I felt so humiliated.
78
So, what are you going to do?
79
You can’t stay there, surely… I don’t know.
80
I’m torn. On the one hand, you’re right – I can’t stay there.
81
But on the other hand, what am I going to do?
82
I was out of work for three months, and I need the money right now.
83
It’s a tricky situation.
84
The worst thing is that it’s affecting everything else in my life, too.
85
I don’t go out or do anything after work or at weekends.
86
I just feel kind of apathetic; I don’t have the energy to go anywhere.
87
Well, I don’t know, but it doesn’t sound like you can go on like this.
88
Did you get the six words?
89
If you want, you can go back and listen again.
90
Here are the six words you heard.
91
These words relate to feelings of sadness, shame and confusion.
92
Can you put the words into three groups?
93
‘Miserable’ and ‘down’ are both feelings of sadness.
94
‘Miserable’ is a strong word, which describes a deep unhappiness.
95
‘Down’ is often used when you’re going through a difficult time in your life, and you feel unhappy generally.
96
‘Apathetic’ is also a feeling of sadness, although it’s a little different.
97
If you feel apathetic, you don’t care about anything or have any interest in things.
98
Feeling apathetic means you don’t have much energy, and it’s difficult to motivate yourself to do anything.
99
Be careful not to mix up ‘apathetic’ and ‘pathetic’ – they sound similar, but the meanings are not related.
100
Next, ‘mixed up’ and ‘torn’ are both feelings of confusion.
101
They both mean that you’re caught between different possibilities, and you don’t know what to do.
102
To remember the word ‘torn’, think about the verb ‘tear’.
103
If you tear a piece of paper, you rip it into pieces.
104
If you feel ‘torn’, it’s as if you’re being pulled in two different directions.
105
‘Humiliated’ is a strong form of ‘embarrassed’, meaning a deep feeling of shame.
106
It has a strong meaning, so you wouldn’t use it often.
107
Any plans for this weekend?
108
No, not really.
109
I had something, but it didn’t work out.
110
‘Something?’ Well… I’m a little embarrassed to say… OK, fine, I had a blind date arranged.
111
Nothing wrong with that!
112
But now it’s not happening?
113
No, I cancelled it.
114
I was feeling quite anxious.
115
I’ve never been on a blind date, and I imagine it would be really awkward, so I called it off.
116
Sure, I guess it could be, but it could be fun, too.
117
I think you should go!
118
It’s normal to feel apprehensive before you go on a first date.
119
You shouldn’t let it stop you.
120
Hmm… Too late now, though.
121
I already cancelled it.
122
Now I'm kind of regretting it.
123
Well, maybe you can still make it happen.
124
Why not make a call?
125
Ehh… I can’t.
126
I feel guilty for cancelling.
127
You can’t win, it seems!
128
You heard five words related to feelings.
129
Can you remember them?
130
Try to complete the words!
131
Pause the video if you want more time.
132
Remember that you can also go back and review the dialogue if you want to.
133
Ready? Let’s see the answers.
134
These words relate to shame and nervousness.
135
Can you put them into two groups?
136
‘Anxious’ and ‘apprehensive’ describe fear.
137
Like the words ‘nervous’ and ‘worried’, which you saw earlier, they express a low-level fear, like you might feel before a first date or an important exam.
138
‘Awkward’, ‘embarrassed’ and ‘guilty’ relate to shame, but they don’t have the same meaning.
139
Could you explain the difference between them?
140
‘Awkward’ means you feel socially uncomfortable.
141
For example, if you’re trying to start a conversation with someone, but you don’t know what to say, you might feel awkward.
142
‘Embarrassed’ is the feeling when you blush – your face turns red.
143
You feel ‘guilty’ when you think you’ve done something bad.
144
For example, imagine that your friend asks you for some help, and you say: “Sorry, I can’t, I’m too busy.” Later, you learn that your friend really needed help; you might feel guilty for not helping.
145
Let’s look at the last section.
146
Whoa, where are you going?
147
I’m going to walk into his office and tell him exactly what I think of him.
148
That’s not a good idea.
149
I know you’re annoyed… Annoyed?
150
I’m seething!
151
I’m fed up with this place.
152
Let him sack me if he wants.
153
Let’s just take a minute.
154
Why don’t you tell me what happened?
155
What happened?
156
This isn’t something new.
157
I’ve been overwhelmed for weeks.
158
I ask for help, and he doesn’t even answer my emails or my messages.
159
He’s supposed to be in charge of this department, and he’s not even doing his job.
160
Sure, I can understand that you’re frustrated, but… It’s more than that.
161
He still hasn’t bought the design software we need.
162
The deadline is next week.
163
I’ve never seen such incompetence.
164
Look, I would be upset too, in your position, but getting into a shouting match with him is not going to solve anything.
165
How about this: we go and have a cup of tea for ten minutes, and then you decide what to do?
166
If you still want to march into his office and scream at him, I won’t stop you, but just take ten minutes with me first.
167
OK, fine. Here, you heard six words related to anger, frustration or sadness.
168
Here’s a question: what does ‘frustration’ mean?
169
Frustration is a kind of anger, but it relates to situations where you can’t get what you want.
170
For example, imagine you have to catch a train, and you’re late.
171
You’re driving to the station, and someone in front of you is driving slowly.
172
You can’t overtake, so you’re stuck driving behind them.
173
You might feel frustrated in this situation.
174
Apart from ‘frustrated’, you heard these words in the dialogue.
175
Do you know which emotions these words express?
176
And, could you explain their meanings in detail?
177
Think about it, and pause the video if you need some help!
178
‘Annoyed’ and ‘seething’ both express anger, but at different levels.
179
‘Annoyed’ is a low-level anger.
180
For example, if you have some mosquito bites, and they’re itchy, you might feel a little annoyed, but you wouldn’t – probably – be fully angry.
181
You could also say ‘irritated’, which has the same meaning.
182
‘Seething’ means extremely angry.
183
You could also say ‘furious’, which is similar.
184
‘Fed up’ expresses frustration.
185
If you’re fed up with something, a bad situation has gone on for a long time, and you can’t take it any more.
186
For example, if your neighbour plays loud music one evening, you might be annoyed, but maybe it wouldn’t be a big problem.
187
However, if your neighbour plays loud music evening, you’ll feel angry and frustrated, and after a few days you’ll probably feel fed up; you’ve had enough of the situation and you cannot take any more.
188
‘Overwhelmed’ is hard to classify.
189
Overwhelmed means something like ‘defeated’ or ‘buried’.
190
If you’re overwhelmed, you have so many problems and negative feelings that you can’t cope any more.
191
In the dialogue, we were talking about work, but you can be overwhelmed with other emotions and situations, too.
192
For example, you can be overwhelmed with anger, overwhelmed with sadness, overwhelmed with stress, and so on.
193
It can even, sometimes, be positive; for example you can be overwhelmed with happiness.
194
In this case, it means that you’re so happy that you don’t know what to do with yourself.
195
Finally, ‘upset’ is a feeling of sadness in response to a specific situation.
196
If something bad happens to you, or someone says something unpleasant to you, you might feel upset.
197
We’ve mentioned many different words to describe feelings in this video, but there are also many that we didn’t talk about.
198
Can you think of any?

इस पाठ के बारे में
आप "How to Talk About Emotions in English - Spoken English Lesson" के साथ Shadowing तकनीक का उपयोग करके अपनी अंग्रेजी का अभ्यास कर रहे हैं।
शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?
शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
