23
For example, after work, I felt completely drained.
24
Rough day.
25
Rough day.
26
It means you are having a difficult or stressful day.
27
Maybe many small things go wrong or you just feel that everything is hard that day.
28
For example, I had a rough day at work yesterday.
29
Feeling off.
30

It means you don't feel like yourself.
32
Nothing may be seriously wrong, but you feel different, uncomfortable, or not quite right, and you may not know why.
33
For example, I'm not sick, but I'm feeling a bit off today.
34
Keep these words and phrases in mind as you listen.
35
They'll help you understand how we talk about having a bad day.
36
Hey, Ben.
37
How are you doing today?
38
I'm good.
39
A little tired, you know, but good.
40
How about you?
41
Well, today I feel great.
42
I really do. But yesterday...
43
Oh, wow.
44
Yesterday was not a good day for me at all.
45
Really?
46
What happened?
47
Did something bad happen at work?
48
No, nothing bad happened.
49
That's the funny part.
50
I just, like, woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
51
Wait, woke up on the wrong side of the bed?
52
Did you actually fall out of your bed in the morning or something?
53
No, I didn't fall.
54
Waking up on the wrong side of the bed just means, well, you wake up in a bad mood.
55
You don't know why you just feel unhappy from the exact moment you open your eyes, you know, ah I see yeah,
56
I definitely know that feeling so you were feeling grumpy Yes, I was feeling very grumpy Literally everything annoyed me.
57
My alarm clock was too loud.
58
The coffee was too hot the weather was too cloudy even my favorite clothes felt like Uncomfortable.
59
Oh, wow.
60
I hate mornings like that.
61
Everything just feels difficult.
62
Exactly.
63
Like, for example, I dropped my keys near the door.
64
Normally, I just pick them up and leave, right?
65
But yesterday, I almost cried because I dropped my keys.
66
I was just so grumpy.
67
Oh, I totally know that feeling.
68
So, how was the rest of your day?
69
Did it get better?
70
Not really, no. When I went to work, I was just.. feeling off.
71
Hmm.
72
So when you say you're feeling off, does that mean you're angry?
73
Well, not exactly angry.
74
Feeling off means something is just not right inside you.
75
It's hard to explain.
76
I wasn't sick, and I wasn't really angry at anyone.
77
I just felt different, you know?
78
My brain was slow.
79
My energy was low.
80
Ah, I get it you were not feeling like yourself.

Yes, exactly.
82
Not feeling like myself.
83
Usually, you know, I like to chat with my coworkers.
84
I like to smile and say good morning.
85
But yesterday, I just wanted to be quiet.
86
I just wanted to go home, close the door, and sit in silence.
87
Wow.
88
It sounds like you were having a rough day.
89
I really was.
90
Having a rough day is just so tiring.
91
You just want the day to finish quickly so you can go to sleep.
92
You know, I had a day exactly like that last week.
93
I remember it clearly.
94
I was just feeling a bit down.
95
Wait.
96
Feeling a bit down?
97
Why?
98
Did something happen?
99
Did you get some bad news?
100
No, no bad news at all.
101
That is the strange thing.
102
I just woke up feeling a bit sad, you know?
103
A bit down.
104
I was waiting for the bus, and I just felt heavy.
105
I didn't want to listen to my favorite podcast.
106
I didn't even want to look at my phone.
107
Wow, it's so interesting how our moods change like that for no reason.
108
How did you feel by the evening?
109
Oh, by the evening, I was feeling totally drained.
110
Drained?
111
Like a battery?
112
Yes, exactly like a battery.
113
When your phone battery is at 1%, it is drained.
114
It has no power left.
115
I was feeling drained.
116
I had absolutely zero energy.
117
Oh, no. What did you do?
118
Did you still cook dinner?
119
No way.
120
I couldn't cook.
121
I couldn't even watch TV.
122
B. My mind was too tired.
123
I literally just ate some bread and wanted to sleep.
124
I know that feeling so well.
125
When you feel drained, everything just feels heavy.
126
Your body feels heavy, and your mind feels completely tired.
127
Yeah.
128
And sometimes, you know, we try so hard to find a reason, right?
129
We ask ourselves, why am I feeling grumpy?
130
Why am I having a rough day?
131
Why am I feeling a bit down?
132
I did exactly that yesterday.
133
I asked myself all day, am I hungry?
134
Did I sleep badly?
135
Did someone say something mean to me?
136
But no. Everything in my life was completely normal.
137
So, Anna, when you woke up on the wrong side of the bed yesterday, did you try to fix it?
138
I tried.
139
I drank some warm tea.
140
I listened to soft music at my desk.
141
But honestly, I was just feeling off all day.
142
I kind of just had to wait for the day to end.
143
Well, sometimes that is all you can do.
144
When I was feeling a bit down last week, I just took a warm shower and went to bed early.
145
Did you feel better the next day?
146
I did.
147
I woke up feeling like myself again.
148
My battery was full.
149
I was not drained anymore.
150
That is so good to hear.
151
I feel much better today, too.
152
You know, I think it is important to remember something.
153
Oh?
154
What is that?
155
You don't always need a big reason to be in a bad mood.
156
That is so true.
157
Sometimes we look for a big problem, but there really is no problem.
158
Exactly.
159
Sometimes you just don't feel like yourself.
160
And that is completely okay.
161
You don't have to be happy every single day.
162
It is totally normal.
163
Everyone has rough days.
164
Everyone feels grumpy sometimes.
165
It makes us human.
166
Yeah.
167
The most important thing is to be kind to yourself.
168
If you are feeling drained, just rest.
169
If you are feeling off, take it slow.
170
Tomorrow is always a new day.
171
Now, let's look at five useful phrases from our conversation.
172
As you listen to each example, try to read the sentence again after you hear it.
173
You can pause the episode if you need more time.
174
Listening and reading the examples again can help you remember the phrases and feel more comfortable using them in real conversations.
175
Number one is wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
176
We use wake up on the wrong side of the bed when we wake up in a bad mood, even though nothing serious has happened.
177
For example, I woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.
178

181
Number two is be in a bad mood.
182
We use be in a bad mood when we feel unhappy, annoyed, or not very positive.
183
For example, I'm in a bad mood today.
184
I don't know why.
185
I'm in a bad mood today.
186
I don't know why.
187
Don't worry about him.
188
He's just in a bad mood.
189
Don't worry about him.
190
He's just in a bad mood.
191
Number three is not feel like myself.
192
We use not feel like myself when we feel different from how we normally feel.
193
For example, I'm tired today and I don't really feel like myself.
194
I'm tired today and I don't really feel like myself.
195

196
After a few days of bad sleep, I didn't feel like myself.
197
Number four is have a rough day.
198
We use have a rough day when our day is difficult and several things go wrong or make us feel tired.
199
For example, I had a rough day at work yesterday.
200
I had a rough day at work yesterday.
201
She's having a rough day, so maybe give her some space.
202
She's having a rough day, so maybe give her some space.
203
And number five is feel a bit down.
204
We use feel a bit down when we feel a little sad, low, or less energetic than usual.
205
For example, I'm feeling a bit down today, so I'm going to stay home tonight.
206
I'm feeling a bit down today, so I'm going to stay home tonight.
207

These five phrases are really useful when you want to talk about your mood in everyday English.

And remember, you don't always need a big reason to feel this way.
211
Sometimes, you just have a rough day.
212
And tomorrow might be a much better day.

215
Before we continue, let's quickly look at how these phrases are different.
216
They all describe a not, so, good day, but they describe different feelings.
217
Grumpy and in a bad mood are very similar.
218
They mean you are not feeling happy and you can get annoyed or upset easily, even about small things.
219
Feeling off is a little different.
220
It means you don't feel like yourself, but you may not know exactly why.
221
You're not necessarily sad or angry.
222
You just feel that something isn't quite right.
223
A bit down means you feel a little sad or low.
224
It's usually not a very strong feeling.
225
So saying I'm a bit down sounds softer than saying I'm very sad.
226
And drained is mainly about your energy.
227
It means you feel extremely tired and have almost no energy left.
228
You can feel drained even when you're not sad or angry.
229
So remember, grumpy is about your mood, feeling off is about feeling different,
230
a bit down is about feeling a little sad and drained is about having very little energy.
231
Before we move on, let's listen to a short story from Anna.
232
She'll use some of the phrases we just learned in a more natural, connected way.
233
Hey, it's Anna.
234
Today I want to tell you a short story about my rough day yesterday.
235
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed.
236
I don't know why.
237
I was grumpy from the first minute.
238
The bus was late, my coffee was cold, and at work I made a few small mistakes.
239
I was feeling off all morning.
240
By the afternoon, I was completely drained.
241
I was also feeling a bit down.
242
I just wanted to go home, lie on the bed, and do nothing.
243
But in the evening, I took a warm shower, listened to some soft music, and went to bed early.
244
This morning, I feel like myself again.
245
My battery is full.
246
I'm not drained anymore.
247
So, that was my rough day.
248
And honestly, I think it's okay to have days like that.
249
Sometimes you just don't feel like yourself.
250
Tomorrow is a new day.
251
That was a simple story, but notice how many of today's phrases Anna used naturally.
252
You can do the same when you talk about your own day.
253
Exactly.
254
You don't need a complicated story.
255
Just talk about how you felt, what happened, and what you did.
256
Before we finish, let's quickly recap the five key phrases from today.
257
Wake up on the wrong side of the bed.
258
Be in a bad mood.
259
Not feel like myself.
260
Have a rough day.
261
Feel a bit down.
262
Now, here's a small challenge for you.
263
Try to use at least two of these phrases this week.
264
You can use them when you talk to someone, or simply write a sentence in your diary.
265
For example, you can say, I had a rough day today, or I'm feeling a bit down today.
266
And if you have a little more time, record yourself speaking for 30 to 40 seconds about how you feel today.
267
Then listen to your recording and say it again.
268
Listening and repeating your own sentences can help you feel more comfortable using these phrases.
269
Thanks so much for listening and practicing with us today.
270
See you in the next episode, and remember, it's completely normal to have rough days.
271
Be kind to yourself.

| Estrutura | No vídeo |
|---|---|
| Present perfect have/has + particípio passado — uma ação passada que ainda importa agora | Have you ever woken · has happened |
| Voz passiva be + particípio passado — o foco está no que acontece, não em quem faz | is drained · was not drained |
| Possibilidade com “might / may” might/may + verbo — algo possível, mas não certo | might feel · may be · might be |

- /h/ — um sopro suave, diferente do “r”: unhappy /ʌnˈhæpi/, hungry /ˈhʌŋ.ɡɹi/, wherever /(h)wɛɹˈɛvɚ/
Como praticar com este vídeo
- Ouça o vídeo inteiro uma vez sem falar e anote as palavras que você não conhece.
- Faça shadowing frase por frase na velocidade normal, repetindo cada uma até o seu ritmo ficar igual ao do falante.
- Grave a sua voz e compare com o original, prestando atenção a palavras como mood, drain, phrase.
O que é a Técnica de Shadowing?
Shadowing é uma técnica de aprendizado de idiomas com base científica, originalmente desenvolvida para o treinamento de intérpretes profissionais. O método é simples, mas poderoso: você ouve áudio em inglês nativo e repete imediatamente em voz alta — como uma sombra seguindo o falante com 1-2 segundos de atraso. Pesquisas mostram melhora significativa na precisão da pronúncia, entonação, ritmo, sons conectados, compreensão auditiva e fluência na fala.
