- Hello everyone.
2
Welcome back to 8 Minute English on the Learn English Podcast.
3
I'm Nathan, and I'm so glad you're here.
4
So by now, I'm sure you've already seen the title of today's episode.
5
We're talking about emotions today.
6
Emotions are something we all have, right?
7
There are good emotions like happiness and there are tough ones like anger.
8
Anger is one of those emotions that can feel overwhelming.
9
But is anger always bad?
10
Today, we're going to explore that.
11
Why do some of us get angry easily?
12
And before we dive into today's conversation, Don't forget to check out the free PDF we've prepared for you.
13
You can find it in the description or in the comments section.
14
And it's really useful for today's topic.
15
Now let's get into our today's conversation.
16
Hey, Sarah.
17
I've been feeling so angry lately.
18
Really?
19
What's going on, Tom?
20
I don't know.
21
Even little things are making me mad these days.
22
Oh no!
23
That doesn't sound good.
24
What's bothering you the most?
25
Well, everything, to be honest.
26
It feels like I'm always stressed.
27
And I'm constantly running out of energy.
28
Work has been stressful.
29
and I haven't been sleeping well at night.
30
Oh, I understand.
31
When I don't get enough sleep, even the smallest things can upset me.
32
Exactly.
33
I just feel tired all the time.
34
Then, when something small happens, like being stuck in traffic, I get really mad.
35
It's like everything is building up.
36
and I can't control my reactions anymore.
37
Yeah, stress can definitely make things worse.
38
Have you thought about what's making you stressed?
39
Mostly work.
40
I've been trying to meet deadlines.
41
But there's always something going wrong.
42
I've also been arguing with my coworkers a lot lately.
43
That sounds tough.
44
It seems like all of this is piling up on you.
45
Yeah, and it's hard to stay calm in the middle of all that.
46
I think recognizing what's causing your stress could help you manage it better.
47
You're probably right.
48
But it feels like everything is happening at once.
49
so it's hard to focus.
50
I get it.
51
Have you noticed any specific things that make you more angry?
52
Well, work is a big one but also when things don't go as planned.
53
Yeah, those are common triggers.
54
And when people are usually under pressure or feeling overwhelmed, they're more likely to react with anger.
55
That's definitely me.
56
I feel like I'm on edge all the time.
57
Another thing to think about is whether your anger is affecting other parts of your life.
58
What do you mean?
59
Like, are you getting into arguments more often?
60
Is your anger affecting your relationships at work or at home?
61
Yeah, I've noticed that I've been arguing more with my coworkers.
62
And sometimes, I snap at my family for no reason.
63
That's a sign that the anger might be affecting your life more than it should.
64
When anger starts to impact your relationships or daily life, It might be a good idea to talk to someone, like a doctor or therapist.
65
Really?
66
Yeah.
67
Sometimes anger can be a sign of deeper issues, like anxiety or depression, especially if it's happening frequently.
68
Have you seen the movie Inside Out?
69
Oh yeah, I have.
70
The one about the emotions in the girl's head, right?
71
Right.
72
Do you remember how anger was just one of the emotions?
73
But he didn't always understand the deeper feelings behind it, Yeah, anger always reacted first.
74
But sometimes, it was actually sadness or fear that was causing problems.
75
That's kind of how it works in real life too.
76
Sometimes anger is just on the surface.
77
you know, Tom, Anger itself isn't always bad.
78
It's actually a normal emotion and it's important to express it in a healthy way.
79
The real problem comes when we try to push it down or ignore it.
80
That's when it can build up and come out in ways we don't want.
81
Yeah, I guess trying to hold it in makes it worse.
82
Exactly.
83
That's why finding a way to release your anger is so important.
84
You could try things like exercise, talking to someone, or even writing down your feelings.
85
The goal is to release that anger so it doesn't affect your relationships or your health.
86
That makes sense.
87
I don't want to hurt anyone with my anger.
88
Find what works for you to release that anger.
89
Thanks for bringing that up, Sarah.
90
I'll think about it.
91
Anytime, Tom.
92
I'm always here if you need to talk.
93
Now let's go over some useful words from today's conversation.
94
The first word is stressed.
95
Stressed means feeling worried or unable to relax because of too much work or problems.
96
For example, I feel stressed when I have too much work to do.
97
The second word is angry.
98
Angry means feeling very upset or mad about something.
99
For example, He gets angry when people don't listen to him.
100
The third word is calm.
101
Calm means feeling peaceful and not angry or upset.
102
For example, It's important to stay calm when you are in a difficult situation.
103
The fourth word is breathe.
104
Breathe means to take air into your body and let it out again.
105
For example, When you feel angry, take a deep breath to calm down.
106
And the last word is trigger.
107
Trigger means something that makes you feel a strong emotion, like anger or stress.
108
For example, Being late, is a trigger that makes me stressed.
109
Now, I have two questions for you to think about.
110
First, what do you usually do when you feel angry or stressed?
111
Do you have any techniques that help you calm down?
112
A common technique is deep breathing.
113
Studies from Harvard Medical School show that deep breathing can reduce stress and help control anger.
114
Another good method is taking a short walk.
115
Walking can help you calm down by giving your mind and body a break.
116
And second, have you noticed any triggers that make you angry?
117
Triggers are often small things like being stuck in traffic or arguing with someone.
118
Recognizing these triggers is the first step to managing your anger.
119
Recognizing triggers helps people control their emotions better.
120
Let us know your answers in the comments below.
121
Now before we finish today's episode, let's talk about some interesting facts about anger.
122
Did you know that anger can actually be helpful sometimes?
123
Studies from the University of California show that anger can motivate people to solve problems and stand up for themselves.
124
But if anger is not managed well, It can lead to health problems.
125
Research from the American Heart Association found that frequent anger can increase the risk of heart disease, So, it's important to manage your anger in a healthy way.
126
Also, Did you know that smiling, even when you don't feel happy, can help you calm down?
127
A study by the University of Kansas found that smiling can lower your heart rate and reduce stress levels.
128
So the next time you're feeling angry, try to smile.
129
And here's my advice for all of you listening when you notice yourself getting angry, pause for a moment.
130
Take a few deep breaths or step away from the situation if you can.
131
Giving yourself time to think can help you calm down and respond in a better way.
132
Remember, Anger is a natural emotion, but how we manage it makes all the difference.

シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
