- 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?

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.

什麼是跟讀法?

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧,最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓,並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大:您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同,跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性,語調,節奏,連讀,聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
