[00:00:12]>> I'm Emma >> and I'm Jack.

[00:00:14]>> We are here to help you practice real everyday English.

[00:00:18]>> Today we are going to talk about something very important for conversation.

[00:00:23]>> That's right. Today's topic is feelings and emotions. We are going to learn how to talk about how we feel in English.

[00:00:32]>> So, Emma, how are you today?

[00:00:35]>> I'm really good, Jack. I feel happy today.

[00:00:38]>> That's great to hear. I feel happy, too.

[00:00:40]>> Why do you feel happy?

[00:00:42]>> I had a very nice weekend. It was calm and relaxing.

[00:00:46]>> That sounds nice. What did you do on Saturday?

[00:00:50]>> I stayed at home. I watched some movies and cooked a big dinner.

[00:00:54]>> Wow, that sounds lovely. On Saturday, I felt a little bored.

[00:00:59]>> Oh, really? What happened?

[00:01:02]>> I didn't have any plans. I stayed home all day.

[00:01:05]>> I understand. That can feel boring.

[00:01:08]>> But on Sunday, I called my sister.

[00:01:11]>> Oh, that's nice.

[00:01:12]>> Yes, we talked for a long time and that made me feel much better.

[00:01:17]>> Talking to family is always good.

[00:01:19]>> So, first I felt bored and then I felt happy.

[00:01:24]>> Exactly. We are already talking about emotions.

[00:01:27]>> Let's start with a common feeling.

[00:01:30]Happy.

[00:01:30]>> Happy is a very common word. When do you feel happy, Emma?

[00:01:34]>> I feel happy when I spend time with my family.

[00:01:38]>> I feel happy when I eat my favorite food.

[00:01:41]>> What is your favorite food?

[00:01:42]>> Pizza. Pizza always makes me happy.

[00:01:45]>> Pizza makes me happy, too. Another word for happy is glad.

[00:01:50]>> Yes. For example, I'm glad to be here today. Another word is pleased.

[00:01:56]>> Right? I am pleased with this conversation.

[00:01:59]>> But happy is the most common word.

[00:02:02]>> Now let's talk about the opposite of happy.

[00:02:05]>> The opposite of happy is sad.

[00:02:08]>> I feel sad when it rains for many days.

[00:02:11]>> Me too. The sky is gray and I miss the sun.

[00:02:16]>> I also feel sad when I watch a sad movie.

[00:02:18]>> Yes, sometimes I cry a little.

[00:02:21]>> That's okay. Feeling sad is normal.

[00:02:24]>> Another word similar to sad is upset.

[00:02:28]>> Can you give an example?

[00:02:29]>> Sure. I was upset when I lost my keys yesterday.

[00:02:33]>> Oh, no. Did you find them?

[00:02:35]>> Yes, I did. They were in my bag the whole time.

[00:02:39]>> That happens to me, too. Can upset also mean a little angry?

[00:02:43]>> Yes, it can. If someone says something unkind, you can feel upset. So upset is like sad and a little angry together.

[00:02:53]>> Exactly.

[00:02:54]>> Now let's talk about angry.

[00:02:57]>> I don't like feeling angry.

[00:02:59]>> Me neither, but sometimes it happens.

[00:03:02]>> When do you feel angry?

[00:03:04]>> I feel angry when my computer is very slow.

[00:03:07]>> Oh yes, that is very annoying.

[00:03:10]>> Another good word is frustrated.

[00:03:13]>> Yes, frustrated means you want to fix a problem but you can't. I feel frustrated when I don't understand instructions, >> especially furniture instructions.

[00:03:25]>> Yes, so many pictures and small parts.

[00:03:28]>> That is very frustrating.

[00:03:30]>> What about annoyed? That's another feeling we can talk about next.

[00:03:34]>> Let's talk about annoyed.

[00:03:36]>> Annoyed is a small feeling. It is smaller than angry.

[00:03:40]>> Yes. For example, if a fly is near your face, you feel annoyed. Or if someone is talking very loudly on the phone next to you.

[00:03:49]>> Exactly. It is a small irritation, not big anger.

[00:03:54]>> Now let's talk about scared.

[00:03:56]>> Scared. I am scared of big spiders. Very scared.

[00:04:01]>> I understand. Another word for scared is afraid.

[00:04:05]>> Yes, you can say I am afraid of spiders.

[00:04:09]>> I am afraid of heights. Heights mean high places like tall buildings or cliffs.

[00:04:16]>> Yes. And sometimes we feel scared before something important >> like before a big test or a presentation.

[00:04:24]>> In that case, we often say nervous.

[00:04:27]>> I feel nervous before I speak English sometimes.

[00:04:30]>> Really? But you speak English very well.

[00:04:33]>> Thank you. But I still feel nervous sometimes.

[00:04:37]>> Another feeling is worried. Worried means you think about a problem again and again.

[00:04:43]>> Your mind is very busy.

[00:04:45]>> Yes. When my friend was sick last month, I was very worried.

[00:04:50]>> I hope she is okay now.

[00:04:51]>> She is. Thank you.

[00:04:53]>> Let's talk about positive feelings again.

[00:04:55]>> Good idea. What about excited?

[00:04:58]>> I love feeling excited.

[00:05:00]>> Me, too. Excited is a happy feeling about the future.

[00:05:04]>> I feel excited before a holiday. I feel excited before I see my old friends.

[00:05:10]>> My brother is visiting next week and I am very excited.

[00:05:13]>> That's wonderful. I was excited about our video today.

[00:05:17]>> Really?

[00:05:18]>> Yes. I couldn't sleep last night.

[00:05:20]>> Wow, that is very excited. Now, let's talk about tired.

[00:05:24]>> Uh yes, I know this feeling well.

[00:05:28]>> Tired can be a physical feeling and an emotional feeling.

[00:05:31]>> I feel tired in the morning. My eyes feel heavy. You are not a morning person.

[00:05:38]>> No, I'm not. I feel exhausted in the morning.

[00:05:41]>> Exhausted means very very tired.

[00:05:44]>> Yes, no energy at all.

[00:05:47]>> After a long day of work, I also feel exhausted.

[00:05:50]>> Me too. Not just tired, completely exhausted.

[00:05:55]>> Sometimes we feel surprised.

[00:05:58]>> Surprise. [laughter] >> You surprised me on my birthday last week.

[00:06:03]>> Yes. With flowers. My mouth was open. I was very surprised.

[00:06:08]>> It was a good surprise.

[00:06:10]>> Yes. A pleasant surprise.

[00:06:13]>> Sometimes surprises are bad.

[00:06:15]>> Like a loud noise. That is an unpleasant surprise.

[00:06:20]>> For a very big surprise, we say shocked.

[00:06:23]>> Shocked is very strong. If you win a lot of money, you are shocked. What about confused?

[00:06:31]>> Confused means you don't understand something. Your thoughts are mixed.

[00:06:36]>> I feel confused by maps in a new city.

[00:06:39]>> I feel confused when I cook a new recipe.

[00:06:43]>> Too many instructions.

[00:06:44]>> Yes, I don't know what to do first.

[00:06:48]>> I just stand there feeling confused.

[00:06:50]>> We all feel confused sometimes.

[00:06:53]>> Another feeling is lonely.

[00:06:55]>> Lonely is a sad feeling.

[00:06:58]>> It means you feel alone.

[00:07:00]>> Even when people are around, you can feel lonely. It's important to call a friend when you feel lonely.

[00:07:07]>> Yes, that helps a lot.

[00:07:09]>> A nicer feeling is hopeful.

[00:07:11]>> Hopeful means you feel good about the future. Let's talk about hopeful.

[00:07:16]>> Hopeful means you think good things will happen in the future.

[00:07:20]>> Yes, I am hopeful about my English learning.

[00:07:23]>> I am hopeful I will be better next year.

[00:07:26]>> And I am hopeful that our viewers are learning a lot today.

[00:07:30]>> I am hopeful this video helps them.

[00:07:32]Another feeling is proud.

[00:07:34]>> Proud is a strong and warm feeling.

[00:07:37]>> You feel proud when you or someone you love does something good.

[00:07:42]>> I feel proud of you when you learn a new difficult word.

[00:07:45]>> Thank you. I feel proud of myself when I finish a big project at work.

[00:07:51]>> I also feel proud of my little niece when she reads a book.

[00:07:54]>> That's very sweet. Okay, let's talk about embarrassed.

[00:07:59]>> Oh, no. I don't like this feeling.

[00:08:01]>> Why not?

[00:08:02]>> You feel embarrassed when you make a small silly mistake in public.

[00:08:07]>> Yes. Your face gets hot and red.

[00:08:10]>> Like when you trip on the street.

[00:08:12]>> Exactly. I feel very embarrassed then.

[00:08:15]My face turns red.

[00:08:17]>> My face gets red too.

[00:08:19]>> Really?

[00:08:20]>> Yes. Once I called my teacher mom by accident.

[00:08:24]>> Oh no. I did that too in school.

[00:08:27]>> Okay. We are the same. What about bored?

[00:08:30]>> Bored means you have nothing interesting to do.

[00:08:34]>> Your mind feels empty.

[00:08:36]>> I feel bored on long train rides.

[00:08:39]>> I feel bored in long meetings.

[00:08:41]>> Me, too. I look at the clock again and again.

[00:08:45]>> How about jealous?

[00:08:47]>> Jealous can be a bad feeling.

[00:08:49]>> It's when you want something another person has.

[00:08:52]>> For example, if my friend gets a new car and I want it, I feel jealous. It's normal sometimes, but it's not a nice feeling.

[00:09:01]>> A nicer word is impressed.

[00:09:03]>> Yes, impressed means you think something is very good.

[00:09:07]>> If your friend gets a new car because they worked hard, you feel impressed.

[00:09:12]>> I am impressed by people who speak three languages.

[00:09:16]>> Me too.

[00:09:16]>> Let's talk about relieved.

[00:09:19]>> Relieved is a great feeling.

[00:09:21]>> It's when you are worried about something and then everything is okay.

[00:09:26]Yes, you feel relaxed after >> when I get good results from the doctor.

[00:09:31]I feel relieved.

[00:09:33]>> A big worry is gone.

[00:09:34]>> I felt relieved when I passed my driving test.

[00:09:38]>> I was very nervous and then very relieved.

[00:09:41]>> What about disappointed?

[00:09:43]>> Disappointed is like sad.

[00:09:45]>> It's when something you want or expect does not happen.

[00:09:49]>> If I plan a picnic and it rains, I feel disappointed. or if a friend cancels plans at the last minute.

[00:09:56]>> It's not angry, it's just a letdown.

[00:09:59]>> Now, let's talk about more complex feelings.

[00:10:03]>> Okay, what about guilty?

[00:10:05]>> Guilty is a heavy feeling.

[00:10:08]>> You feel guilty when you think you did something wrong.

[00:10:10]>> If I forget my friend's birthday, I feel guilty later.

[00:10:15]>> I feel guilty if I eat the last piece of cake and you wanted it.

[00:10:19]>> You should feel guilty. I'm joking. But yes, that's a good example.

[00:10:23]>> Guilty is a moral feeling.

[00:10:26]>> How about ashamed? Is it similar?

[00:10:28]>> Ashamed is stronger than guilty.

[00:10:31]>> You feel very bad and don't want people to know.

[00:10:34]>> It's like guilt plus embarrassment.

[00:10:38]>> That is a very hard feeling.

[00:10:40]>> Let's end with a lighter feeling.

[00:10:42]>> Good idea. Curious.

[00:10:44]>> Curious is a wonderful feeling.

[00:10:47]>> You mean you want to know more. You are interested in something.

[00:10:51]>> I am curious about other cultures.

[00:10:54]>> I am curious about how to make bread.

[00:10:56]>> Me too.

[00:10:57]>> I always have questions.

[00:11:00]>> Being curious is how we learn.

[00:11:02]>> What about grateful or thankful?

[00:11:05]>> Grateful means you appreciate something or someone.

[00:11:09]>> Yes. I am grateful for my family.

[00:11:12]>> I am thankful for this cup of coffee right now.

[00:11:15]>> I am also grateful for our viewers. Yes.

[00:11:19]Thank you for learning with us.

[00:11:21]>> Grateful is a warm positive feeling in your heart.

[00:11:25]>> We've talked about many emotions.

[00:11:28]>> Yes, so many. What about anxious? People use this word a lot.

[00:11:35]>> Is it the same as nervous?

[00:11:38]>> It is similar but a little stronger.

[00:11:41]>> Anxious is a long feeling of worry about the future. You feel nervous and worried and you cannot relax.

[00:11:49]>> I feel anxious before a long trip.

[00:11:52]>> Why?

[00:11:53]>> I think did I forget my passport?

[00:11:56]>> That happens to me too. I feel anxious before job interviews.

[00:12:01]>> Me too. My hands get sweaty.

[00:12:04]>> It is a very common feeling.

[00:12:07]>> And finally, let's talk about overwhelmed.

[00:12:10]>> That is a big word. Yes, but the feeling is very common.

[00:12:15]>> Overwhelmed means you have too much to do >> or too many feelings at the same time.

[00:12:21]>> You don't know what to do first.

[00:12:24]>> You feel stuck.

[00:12:26]>> I feel overwhelmed on Monday mornings.

[00:12:29]>> Me too.

[00:12:31]>> So many emails, so many tasks.

[00:12:34]>> I just sit at my desk and feel overwhelmed.

[00:12:38]>> The best thing is to do one small thing first.

[00:12:42]Yes, step by step.

[00:12:44]>> But overwhelmed is a strong emotion.

[00:12:48]>> Today we talked about many feelings.

[00:12:50]>> Happy, sad, angry, frustrated, and annoyed.

[00:12:56]>> Scared, afraid, nervous, and worried.

[00:13:00]>> Excited, tired, exhausted, surprised, and shocked.

[00:13:05]>> Confused, lonely, hopeful, and proud.

[00:13:09]embarrassed, bored, jealous, and impressed.

[00:13:14]>> Relieved, disappointed, guilty, and ashamed.

[00:13:18]>> Curious, grateful, anxious, and overwhelmed.

[00:13:23]>> That is a long list.

[00:13:25]>> Yes, but we use these words every day.

[00:13:29]>> The most important thing is to try.

[00:13:32]>> Even saying I feel good or I feel bad is a great start. And asking someone how do you feel is very kind.

[00:13:42]>> So Jack, how do you feel now?

[00:13:45]>> I feel thoughtful.

[00:13:47]>> Anything else?

[00:13:48]>> And a little hungry. Talking about pizza made me hungry. [laughter] >> I feel happy and grateful.

[00:13:56]>> Me too. This was a good talk.

[00:13:58]>> Let's practice together.

[00:14:00]>> Okay.

[00:14:01]>> I will say a situation and you say the feeling.

[00:14:05]>> Sounds good. Situation one. You are waiting for a bus. The bus is very late.

[00:14:14]You have an important meeting.

[00:14:16]>> I feel frustrated and anxious.

[00:14:19]>> Very good. Situation two. Your best friend gives you a gift for no reason.

[00:14:27]>> I feel surprised, happy, and grateful.

[00:14:30]>> Excellent. Situation three. You see a very small cute puppy.

[00:14:38]>> I feel very happy.

[00:14:40]>> Maybe excited too.

[00:14:42]>> Yes, it's a warm feeling.

[00:14:44]>> See, you are an expert.

[00:14:47]We talked about many emotions today.

[00:14:50]>> Maybe we should review a few important ones.

[00:14:53]>> Good idea.

[00:14:54]>> Let's choose some common but tricky words >> and explain them slowly. Okay, let's start with our first word. Frustrated.

[00:15:04]>> Jack, how would you explain frustrated to a friend?

[00:15:09]>> Frustrated is not exactly angry.

[00:15:12]>> Okay.

[00:15:13]>> It is when you try to do something again and again >> and you cannot do it.

[00:15:19]>> Yes, you feel blocked.

[00:15:21]>> You feel tired and a little angry.

[00:15:25]>> That is frustrated.

[00:15:26]>> Perfect. So frustrated is a mix of feeling tired and a little angry.

[00:15:32]>> Yes, that's right.

[00:15:34]>> Can you give a real example?

[00:15:36]>> Of course. I feel frustrated when I cannot open a jar of food.

[00:15:41]>> Oh yes.

[00:15:43]>> I try with my hands >> and it doesn't open.

[00:15:47]>> I use a towel but the lid does not move.

[00:15:50]>> That is very frustrating.

[00:15:53]>> I'm not screaming or very angry. But you feel frustrated.

[00:15:58]>> Exactly.

[00:15:59]>> That's a great example.

[00:16:01]>> What about you, Emma?

[00:16:02]>> I feel frustrated when a website is very slow.

[00:16:06]>> Oh, yes, that happens a lot.

[00:16:08]>> I click the page and wait >> and nothing happens.

[00:16:13]>> I just look at the screen and feel frustrated.

[00:16:16]>> We all know that feeling.

[00:16:19]>> Okay, let's move to the next word.

[00:16:21]Content.

[00:16:23]>> Content is a quiet feeling. Yes, it is not loud or exciting.

[00:16:28]>> Content means you are peaceful and happy.

[00:16:32]>> You are satisfied.

[00:16:33]>> You don't want anything more.

[00:16:36]>> Everything feels okay.

[00:16:38]>> Can you give an example?

[00:16:40]>> Sure. It is Sunday afternoon.

[00:16:43]>> Okay.

[00:16:44]>> I finish all my work.

[00:16:46]>> That already feels good.

[00:16:48]>> I sit on the sofa with a book and a cup of tea.

[00:16:52]>> Nice. The sun comes through the window.

[00:16:56]>> That sounds perfect.

[00:16:58]>> I feel content.

[00:17:00]>> I love that example.

[00:17:02]>> What about you?

[00:17:03]>> My example is after a big family dinner.

[00:17:06]>> Oh, I like that.

[00:17:08]>> Everyone is talking quietly.

[00:17:10]>> The house feels warm.

[00:17:13]>> My stomach is full.

[00:17:15]>> And you are with people you love.

[00:17:17]>> Yes, I feel very content.

[00:17:20]>> That is a wonderful feeling. Okay, word number three, relieved.

[00:17:26]>> Relieved is a feeling that comes after worry.

[00:17:30]>> First you feel worried or scared, >> then the problem is gone >> and your body relaxes.

[00:17:38]>> Yes. You often take a deep breath >> and you say, "Pew, I am so relieved."

[00:17:45]>> Exactly. Few is the sound of relief.

[00:17:48]>> Can you give an example?

[00:17:50]>> Sure. I am waiting for important news.

[00:17:53]>> Okay.

[00:17:54]>> My phone rings.

[00:17:55]>> That can be scary.

[00:17:57]>> But the news is good.

[00:17:58]>> What do you feel?

[00:18:00]>> I put my hand on my chest and say, "I am so relieved."

[00:18:05]>> That is a good example.

[00:18:06]>> What about you?

[00:18:07]>> I think I lost my phone.

[00:18:10]>> Oh no.

[00:18:10]>> I look everywhere.

[00:18:12]>> In your bag?

[00:18:13]>> Yes. in the kitchen, under the bed, >> and then >> I find it in my coat pocket.

[00:18:20]>> Ah, >> I feel relieved right away.

[00:18:23]>> It feels like a heavy thing is lifted from your shoulders.

[00:18:27]>> Exactly. Okay, next word. Disappointed.

[00:18:31]>> Disappointed is a sad feeling about expectations.

[00:18:35]>> You hope for something good.

[00:18:37]>> You plan for it, >> but it does not happen >> and the result is not good. So you feel disappointed.

[00:18:44]>> It is different from sad.

[00:18:46]>> Yes, sad can be many things.

[00:18:49]>> Disappointed is specific.

[00:18:51]>> It is when something you want does not happen.

[00:18:54]>> Can you give an example?

[00:18:56]>> Sure. I plan a picnic in the park.

[00:18:59]>> That sounds fun.

[00:19:00]>> I prepare food for my friends.

[00:19:02]>> Nice.

[00:19:03]>> But in the morning it is raining very hard.

[00:19:06]>> Oh no.

[00:19:07]>> We cancel the picnic.

[00:19:09]>> That's disappointing.

[00:19:10]>> Yes. I feel very disappointed.

[00:19:13]>> I understand that feeling.

[00:19:15]>> What is your example?

[00:19:16]>> I wait for my favorite band's concert for months.

[00:19:20]>> You buy a ticket.

[00:19:21]>> Yes, I'm very excited.

[00:19:23]>> And then >> on the day of the concert, I get very sick.

[00:19:27]>> Oh no, >> I cannot go.

[00:19:30]>> That is very disappointing.

[00:19:32]>> Yes, I expected a fun night, but instead I stayed in bed.

[00:19:36]>> That is a real letdown. Yes, let down is another way to say disappointed.

[00:19:41]>> Okay, word number five, grateful or thankful.

[00:19:46]>> These two words mean the same thing.

[00:19:48]>> Grateful is a warm and positive feeling.

[00:19:51]>> You feel grateful when you appreciate something or someone.

[00:19:55]>> You see, a good thing in your life.

[00:19:57]>> It is very important to say this feeling.

[00:20:00]>> Yes, you can say thank you. I'm very grateful.

[00:20:04]>> Can you give an example?

[00:20:05]>> Of course. I am very busy with work.

[00:20:08]>> Okay.

[00:20:09]>> My neighbor sees this.

[00:20:10]>> That is kind.

[00:20:12]>> She cooks a meal for me.

[00:20:13]>> Wow.

[00:20:14]>> She brings it to my door.

[00:20:16]>> That is very nice.

[00:20:17]>> I feel very grateful for her kindness.

[00:20:20]>> That is a perfect example.

[00:20:22]>> That really is a lovely neighbor.

[00:20:24]>> Yes, very kind.

[00:20:26]>> My example is simpler.

[00:20:28]>> Okay, let's hear it.

[00:20:30]>> Every morning I am grateful for my warm bed.

[00:20:34]>> I love that. When my alarm rings, I think for one second, I am grateful for this comfortable bed.

[00:20:42]>> That is a very nice way to start the day.

[00:20:44]>> Okay, our final word is embarrassed.

[00:20:48]>> Oh, yes. The red-faced feeling.

[00:20:51]>> Exactly.

[00:20:53]>> You feel embarrassed when you do something silly in front of other people.

[00:20:56]>> Yes. You want to hide.

[00:20:59]>> Your face feels hot and turns red.

[00:21:01]>> Embarrassed is a social feeling. It happens when other people are watching.

[00:21:06]>> Here is my example.

[00:21:08]>> Okay.

[00:21:09]>> I am in a very quiet meeting.

[00:21:12]>> Everyone is listening.

[00:21:13]>> My stomach makes a loud noise.

[00:21:16]>> Oh no.

[00:21:17]>> Everyone hears it.

[00:21:19]>> That is embarrassing.

[00:21:21]>> I want to disappear.

[00:21:23]>> I know that feeling.

[00:21:24]>> What is your example?

[00:21:26]>> I'm walking and talking with you, Emma.

[00:21:28]>> Okay.

[00:21:29]>> I do not see the glass door in front of me.

[00:21:31]>> Uh-oh. I walk right into it. Boom.

[00:21:35]>> Oh no.

[00:21:36]>> It does not hurt, but many people see it.

[00:21:38]>> That is very embarrassing.

[00:21:40]>> Yes, my face was red for 10 minutes.

[00:21:43]>> So, let's review our words.

[00:21:45]>> Okay.

[00:21:46]>> Frustrated means tired and blocked.

[00:21:50]>> Content means calm and satisfied.

[00:21:52]>> Relieved means relaxed after worry.

[00:21:56]>> Disappointed means sad about a letdown.

[00:21:59]Grateful or thankful means you appreciate something.

[00:22:03]>> Embarrassed means you feel silly in public and your face turns red.

[00:22:07]>> Try to use one of these words this week.

[00:22:10]>> Even in your head, >> you can think I am grateful for my coffee.

[00:22:14]>> Or I am frustrated with this traffic.

[00:22:17]>> Practice makes perfect >> and it is good to name your feelings.

[00:22:21]>> It helps you understand yourself better.

[00:22:24]>> Wow, Emma, we talked for a long time today.

[00:22:26]>> We really did. We talked about so many emotions.

[00:22:30]>> I feel like I understand my own feelings better now.

[00:22:34]>> Me too.

[00:22:34]>> It is funny how talking about feelings helps.

[00:22:38]>> Let's think about what we practiced today.

[00:22:40]>> Good idea.

[00:22:41]>> The main thing was learning the names of many feelings.

[00:22:44]>> Yes, we started with the big four.

[00:22:47]>> Happy, sad, angry, and scared.

[00:22:50]>> Then we learned that inside these big feelings there are more words.

[00:22:54]>> You do not have to say only happy. You can say excited for the future >> or content for calm happiness. Now >> you can say proud when you or someone you love does something good.

[00:23:07]>> That is a special kind of happy.

[00:23:09]>> For sad, we learned upset.

[00:23:12]>> Upset can be sad and a little angry.

[00:23:15]>> We also learned disappointed.

[00:23:17]>> That is when something you hope for does not happen.

[00:23:20]>> For angry, we learned frustrated. That is when you cannot fix a problem.

[00:23:27]>> And annoyed is for small problems.

[00:23:30]>> For scared, we have afraid >> and nervous for something that will happen like a test.

[00:23:37]>> We also learned anxious, which is a stronger, longer worry. We talked about mixed feelings too, >> like embarrassed when you do something silly >> and jealous when you want what someone else has >> and guilty when you think you did something wrong.

[00:23:55]>> But we also talked about wonderful feelings >> like grateful or thankful >> and hopeful when you believe good things will come.

[00:24:04]>> The most important lesson is this.

[00:24:07]>> All feelings are okay. It is normal to feel sad, angry, scared or frustrated sometimes.

[00:24:15]>> The important thing is to talk about your feelings >> and to use the words.

[00:24:20]>> Yes. When you say, "I feel frustrated," it helps other people understand you.

[00:24:26]>> And when people understand you, they can help you.

[00:24:30]>> Exactly.

[00:24:31]>> And when you say, "I feel grateful," it makes the other person feel good, too.

[00:24:36]>> That's true. Sharing feelings is good for everyone.

[00:24:40]>> So please don't be shy to use these words.

[00:24:43]>> Start with easy sentences.

[00:24:45]>> You can say I am happy today >> or I am tired >> or I am nervous.

[00:24:52]>> Then when you feel more confident, try longer words.

[00:24:56]>> You can say I feel content >> or I am relieved.

[00:25:01]>> Remember practice makes perfect.

[00:25:03]>> And one great way to practice is writing. That's why we have our question of the day.

[00:25:09]>> Yes, today's question is a little personal, >> but you can answer with just one word if you want.

[00:25:15]>> Our question of the day is, >> what is one emotion you feel often and why?

[00:25:21]>> Think about your daily life.

[00:25:23]>> Do you often feel happy because you like your job?

[00:25:26]>> Do you often feel tired because you have a new baby?

[00:25:30]>> Do you feel curious because you are learning English? Or maybe you feel grateful for your family >> or frustrated with traffic.

[00:25:38]>> Any feeling is okay.

[00:25:40]>> Please write your answer in the comments below this video.

[00:25:43]>> We read every single comment.

[00:26:21]>> Okay, Emma, what is one emotion you feel often and why?

[00:26:26]>> One emotion I feel often is hopeful.

[00:26:36]>> That's nice.

[00:26:37]>> I see people trying to get better.

[00:26:39]>> Yes.

[00:26:40]>> I talk to you.

[00:26:42]>> I see our viewers improving.

[00:26:44]>> That's true.

[00:26:45]>> It makes me believe that good things are always possible.

[00:26:49]>> I like that.

[00:26:50]>> I feel very hopeful about the future.

[00:26:53]>> That is a beautiful answer.

[00:26:55]>> Thank you.

[00:26:56]>> It makes me feel hopeful, too.

[00:26:58]>> Now it's your turn, Jack.

[00:27:00]>> Okay. What is one emotion you feel often and why?

[00:27:04]>> One emotion I feel often is grateful.

[00:27:07]>> Grateful.

[00:27:08]>> I am grateful for simple things >> like what?

[00:27:11]>> Good food.

[00:27:12]>> Yes.

[00:27:13]>> A home.

[00:27:14]>> Very important.

[00:27:16]>> My health, >> of course.

[00:27:18]>> And I am very grateful that I can sit here and talk with you, Emma.

[00:27:22]>> That's very kind.

[00:27:24]>> And talk with all of our friends watching.

[00:27:26]>> Yes.

[00:27:27]>> It is a special part of my week. Thank you for sharing that, Jack.

[00:27:31]>> Thank you, Emma.

[00:27:32]>> And thank you everyone for being here with us today.

[00:27:36]>> You are all doing a wonderful job.
