- 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

100

101

102

103

107

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

126

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
