[00:00:13]>> Yes, please subscribe. It helps us a lot.

[00:00:16]>> I'm Emma >> and I'm Jack.

[00:00:18]>> We are here to help you practice real everyday English.

[00:00:22]>> Today we are going to talk about something very important for conversation.

[00:00:27]>> That's right. Today's topic is feelings and emotions. We are going to learn how to talk about how we feel in English.

[00:00:36]>> So, Emma, how are you today?

[00:00:39]>> I'm really good, Jack. I feel happy today.

[00:00:42]>> That's great to hear. I feel happy, too.

[00:00:44]>> Why do you feel happy?

[00:00:46]>> I had a very nice weekend. It was calm and relaxing.

[00:00:50]>> That sounds nice. What did you do on Saturday?

[00:00:54]>> I stayed at home. I watched some movies and cooked a big dinner.

[00:00:58]>> Wow, that sounds lovely. On Saturday, I felt a little bored.

[00:01:03]>> Oh, really? What happened?

[00:01:06]>> I didn't have any plans. I stayed home all day.

[00:01:09]>> I understand. That can feel boring.

[00:01:12]>> But on Sunday, I called my sister.

[00:01:15]>> Oh, that's nice.

[00:01:16]>> Yes, we talked for a long time, and that made me feel much better.

[00:01:21]>> Talking to family is always good. So first I felt bored and then I felt happy.

[00:01:28]>> Exactly. We are already talking about emotions.

[00:01:31]>> Let's start with a common feeling.

[00:01:34]Happy.

[00:01:35]>> Happy is a very common word. When do you feel happy, Emma?

[00:01:38]>> I feel happy when I spend time with my family.

[00:01:42]>> I feel happy when I eat my favorite food.

[00:01:45]>> What is your favorite food?

[00:01:46]>> Pizza. Pizza always makes me happy.

[00:01:49]>> Pizza makes me happy, too. Another word for happy is glad.

[00:01:54]>> Yes. For example, I'm glad to be here today.

[00:01:58]>> Another word is pleased.

[00:02:00]>> Right. I am pleased with this conversation.

[00:02:03]>> But happy is the most common word.

[00:02:06]>> Now, let's talk about the opposite of happy.

[00:02:09]>> The opposite of happy is sad.

[00:02:12]>> I feel sad when it rains for many days.

[00:02:15]>> Me, too. The sky is gray and I miss the sun. I also feel sad when I watch a sad movie.

[00:02:23]>> Yes, sometimes I cry a little.

[00:02:25]>> That's okay. Feeling sad is normal.

[00:02:28]>> Another word similar to sad is upset.

[00:02:32]>> Can you give an example?

[00:02:33]>> Sure. I was upset when I lost my keys yesterday.

[00:02:37]>> Oh, no. Did you find them?

[00:02:40]>> Yes, I did. They were in my bag the whole time.

[00:02:43]>> That happens to me, too. Can upset also mean a little angry?

[00:02:47]>> Yes, it can. If someone says something unkind, you can feel upset.

[00:02:53]>> So upset is like sad and a little angry together.

[00:02:57]>> Exactly.

[00:02:58]>> Now let's talk about angry.

[00:03:01]>> I don't like feeling angry.

[00:03:03]>> Me neither, but sometimes it happens.

[00:03:06]>> When do you feel angry?

[00:03:08]>> I feel angry when my computer is very slow.

[00:03:11]>> Oh yes, that is very annoying.

[00:03:14]>> Another good word is frustrated. Yes.

[00:03:18]Frustrated means you want to fix a problem but you can't.

[00:03:22]>> I feel frustrated when I don't understand instructions.

[00:03:26]>> Especially furniture instructions.

[00:03:29]>> Yes. So many pictures and small parts.

[00:03:32]>> That is very frustrating.

[00:03:34]>> What about annoyed? That's another feeling we can talk about next.

[00:03:38]>> Let's talk about annoyed.

[00:03:40]>> Annoyed is a small feeling. It is smaller than angry.

[00:03:44]>> Yes. For example, if a fly is near your face, you feel annoyed.

[00:03:49]>> Or if someone is talking very loudly on the phone next to you.

[00:03:53]>> Exactly. It is a small irritation, not big anger.

[00:03:58]>> Now, let's talk about scared.

[00:04:00]>> Scared. I am scared of big spiders. Very scared.

[00:04:06]>> I understand. Another word for scared is afraid.

[00:04:09]>> Yes, you can say I am afraid of spiders.

[00:04:13]I am afraid of heights.

[00:04:16]>> Heights mean high places like tall buildings or cliffs.

[00:04:20]>> Yes. And sometimes we feel scared before something important.

[00:04:25]>> Like before a big test or a presentation.

[00:04:28]>> In that case, we often say nervous.

[00:04:31]>> I feel nervous before I speak English sometimes.

[00:04:35]>> Really? But you speak English very well.

[00:04:37]>> Thank you. But I still feel nervous sometimes. Another feeling is worried.

[00:04:43]>> Worried means you think about a problem again and again.

[00:04:47]>> Your mind is very busy.

[00:04:49]>> Yes. When my friend was sick last month, I was very worried.

[00:04:54]>> I hope she is okay now.

[00:04:56]>> She is. Thank you.

[00:04:57]>> Let's talk about positive feelings again.

[00:05:00]>> Good idea. What about excited?

[00:05:02]>> I love feeling excited.

[00:05:04]>> Me, too. Excited is a happy feeling about the future. I feel excited before a holiday.

[00:05:11]>> I feel excited before I see my old friends.

[00:05:14]>> My brother is visiting next week and I am very excited.

[00:05:17]>> That's wonderful. I was excited about our video today.

[00:05:21]>> Really?

[00:05:22]>> Yes. I couldn't sleep last night.

[00:05:24]>> Wow, that is very excited. Now, let's talk about tired.

[00:05:29]>> Uh, yes, I know this feeling well.

[00:05:32]>> Tired can be a physical feeling and an emotional feeling.

[00:05:36]>> I feel tired in the morning. My eyes feel heavy.

[00:05:40]>> You are not a morning person.

[00:05:42]>> No, I'm not. I feel exhausted in the morning.

[00:05:46]>> Exhausted means very very tired.

[00:05:48]>> Yes. No energy at all.

[00:05:51]>> After a long day of work, I also feel exhausted.

[00:05:54]>> Me too. Not just tired, completely exhausted.

[00:05:59]>> Sometimes we feel surprised.

[00:06:02]>> Surprise.

[00:06:04]You surprised me on my birthday last week. Yes, with flowers.

[00:06:09]>> My mouth was open. I was very surprised.

[00:06:12]>> It was a good surprise.

[00:06:14]>> Yes, a pleasant surprise.

[00:06:17]>> Sometimes surprises are bad.

[00:06:19]>> Like a loud noise. That is an unpleasant surprise.

[00:06:24]>> For a very big surprise, we say shocked.

[00:06:27]>> Shocked is very strong. If you win a lot of money, you are shocked. What about confused?

[00:06:35]Confused means you don't understand something.

[00:06:38]>> Your thoughts are mixed.

[00:06:40]>> I feel confused by maps in a new city.

[00:06:43]>> I feel confused when I cook a new recipe.

[00:06:47]>> Too many instructions.

[00:06:49]>> Yes, I don't know what to do first.

[00:06:52]>> I just stand there feeling confused.

[00:06:54]>> We all feel confused sometimes.

[00:06:57]>> Another feeling is lonely.

[00:06:59]>> Lonely is a sad feeling.

[00:07:02]>> It means you feel alone. Even when people are around, you can feel lonely.

[00:07:08]>> It's important to call a friend when you feel lonely.

[00:07:11]>> Yes, that helps a lot.

[00:07:13]>> A nicer feeling is hopeful.

[00:07:15]>> Hopeful means you feel good about the future. Let's talk about hopeful.

[00:07:20]>> Hopeful means you think good things will happen in the future.

[00:07:24]>> Yes, I am hopeful about my English learning.

[00:07:27]>> I am hopeful I will be better next year.

[00:07:30]And I am hopeful that our viewers are learning a lot today.

[00:07:34]>> I am hopeful this video helps them.

[00:07:36]>> Another feeling is proud.

[00:07:38]>> Proud is a strong and warm feeling.

[00:07:41]>> You feel proud when you or someone you love does something good.

[00:07:46]>> I feel proud of you when you learn a new difficult word.

[00:07:49]>> Thank you. I feel proud of myself when I finish a big project at work.

[00:07:55]>> I also feel proud of my little niece when she reads a book. That's very sweet. Okay, let's talk about embarrassed.

[00:08:03]>> Oh, no. I don't like this feeling.

[00:08:06]>> Why not?

[00:08:06]>> You feel embarrassed when you make a small silly mistake in public.

[00:08:11]>> Yes. Your face gets hot and red.

[00:08:14]>> Like when you trip on the street.

[00:08:16]>> Exactly. I feel very embarrassed then.

[00:08:19]My face turns red.

[00:08:21]>> My face gets red, too.

[00:08:23]>> Really?

[00:08:24]>> Yes. Once I called my teacher mom by accident. Oh no, I did that too in school.

[00:08:31]>> Okay, we are the same.

[00:08:32]>> What about bored?

[00:08:34]>> Bored means you have nothing interesting to do.

[00:08:38]>> Your mind feels empty.

[00:08:40]>> I feel bored on long train rides.

[00:08:43]>> I feel bored in long meetings.

[00:08:45]>> Me too. I look at the clock again and again.

[00:08:49]>> How about jealous?

[00:08:51]>> Jealous can be a bad feeling.

[00:08:53]>> It's when you want something another person has. For example, if my friend gets a new car and I want it, I feel jealous.

[00:09:01]>> It's normal sometimes, but it's not a nice feeling.

[00:09:05]>> A nicer word is impressed.

[00:09:07]>> Yes, impressed means you think something is very good.

[00:09:12]>> If your friend gets a new car because they worked hard, you feel impressed.

[00:09:16]>> I am impressed by people who speak three languages.

[00:09:20]>> Me, too.

[00:09:21]>> Let's talk about relieved.

[00:09:23]>> Relieved is a great feeling. It's when you are worried about something and then everything is okay.

[00:09:30]>> Yes, you feel relaxed after.

[00:09:32]>> When I get good results from the doctor, I feel relieved.

[00:09:37]>> A big worry is gone.

[00:09:39]>> I felt relieved when I passed my driving test.

[00:09:42]>> I was very nervous and then very relieved.

[00:09:45]>> What about disappointed?

[00:09:47]>> Disappointed is like sad.

[00:09:49]>> It's when something you want or expect does not happen. If I plan a picnic and it rains, I feel disappointed.

[00:09:57]>> Or if a friend cancels plans at the last minute.

[00:10:00]>> It's not angry, it's just a let down.

[00:10:03]>> Now, let's talk about more complex feelings.

[00:10:07]>> Okay, what about guilty?

[00:10:09]>> Guilty is a heavy feeling.

[00:10:12]>> You feel guilty when you think you did something wrong.

[00:10:15]>> If I forget my friend's birthday, I feel guilty later. I feel guilty if I eat the last piece of cake and you wanted it.

[00:10:23]>> You should feel guilty.

[00:10:25]>> I'm joking, but yes, that's a good example.

[00:10:27]>> Guilty is a moral feeling.

[00:10:30]>> How about ashamed? Is it similar?

[00:10:32]>> Ashamed is stronger than guilty.

[00:10:35]>> You feel very bad and don't want people to know.

[00:10:38]>> It's like guilt plus embarrassment.

[00:10:42]>> That is a very hard feeling.

[00:10:44]>> Let's end with a lighter feeling.

[00:10:46]>> Good idea. Curious.

[00:10:48]>> Curious is a wonderful feeling.

[00:10:51]>> You mean you want to know more.

[00:10:53]>> You are interested in something.

[00:10:55]>> I am curious about other cultures.

[00:10:58]>> I am curious about how to make bread.

[00:11:00]>> Me too.

[00:11:01]>> I always have questions.

[00:11:04]>> Being curious is how we learn.

[00:11:06]>> What about grateful or thankful?

[00:11:10]>> Grateful means you appreciate something or someone.

[00:11:13]>> Yes, I am grateful for my family. I am thankful for this cup of coffee right now.

[00:11:20]>> I am also grateful for our viewers.

[00:11:22]>> Yes. Thank you for learning with us.

[00:11:25]>> Grateful is a warm, positive feeling in your heart.

[00:11:29]>> We've talked about many emotions.

[00:11:32]>> Yes, so many. What about anxious? People use this word a lot.

[00:11:39]>> Is it the same as nervous?

[00:11:42]>> It is similar but a little stronger.

[00:11:45]Anxious is a long feeling of worry about the future.

[00:11:49]>> You feel nervous and worried and you cannot relax.

[00:11:53]>> I feel anxious before a long trip.

[00:11:56]>> Why?

[00:11:57]>> I think did I forget my passport?

[00:12:00]>> That happens to me too. I feel anxious before job interviews.

[00:12:05]>> Me too. My hands get sweaty.

[00:12:08]>> It is a very common feeling.

[00:12:11]>> And finally, let's talk about overwhelmed. That is a big word.

[00:12:16]>> Yes, but the feeling is very common.

[00:12:19]>> Overwhelmed means you have too much to do >> or too many feelings at the same time.

[00:12:25]>> You don't know what to do first.

[00:12:28]>> You feel stuck.

[00:12:30]>> I feel overwhelmed on Monday mornings.

[00:12:33]>> Me too.

[00:12:35]>> So many emails, so many tasks.

[00:12:38]>> I just sit at my desk and feel overwhelmed. The best thing is to do one small thing first.

[00:12:46]>> Yes, step by step.

[00:12:48]>> But overwhelmed is a strong emotion.

[00:12:52]>> Today we talked about many feelings.

[00:12:55]>> Happy, sad, angry, frustrated, and annoyed.

[00:13:00]>> Scared, afraid, nervous, and worried.

[00:13:04]>> Excited, tired, exhausted, surprised, and shocked. confused, lonely, hopeful, and proud.

[00:13:14]>> Embarrassed, bored, jealous, and impressed.

[00:13:18]>> Relieved, disappointed, guilty, and ashamed.

[00:13:22]>> Curious, grateful, anxious, and overwhelmed.

[00:13:27]>> That is a long list.

[00:13:29]>> Yes, but we use these words every day.

[00:13:33]>> The most important thing is to try. Even saying I feel good or I feel bad is a great start.

[00:13:42]>> And asking someone how do you feel is very kind.

[00:13:46]>> So Jack, how do you feel now?

[00:13:49]>> I feel thoughtful.

[00:13:51]>> Anything else?

[00:13:52]>> And a little hungry. Talking about pizza made me hungry.

[00:13:58]>> I feel happy and grateful.

[00:14:00]>> Me too. This was a good talk.

[00:14:03]>> Let's practice together.

[00:14:05]>> Okay. I will say a situation and you say the feeling.

[00:14:09]>> Sounds good.

[00:14:11]>> Situation one. You are waiting for a bus. The bus is very late. You have an important meeting.

[00:14:20]>> I feel frustrated and anxious.

[00:14:23]>> Very good. Situation two. Your best friend gives you a gift for no reason.

[00:14:31]>> I feel surprised, happy, and grateful.

[00:14:34]Excellent.

[00:14:36]Situation three. You see a very small cute puppy.

[00:14:42]>> I feel very happy.

[00:14:44]>> Maybe excited too.

[00:14:46]>> Yes. It's a warm feeling.

[00:14:48]>> See, you are an expert.

[00:14:51]We talked about many emotions today.

[00:14:54]>> Maybe we should review a few important ones.

[00:14:57]>> Good idea. Let's choose some common but tricky words >> and explain them slowly.

[00:15:04]>> Okay, let's start with our first word, frustrated.

[00:15:08]>> Jack, how would you explain frustrated to a friend?

[00:15:13]>> Frustrated is not exactly angry.

[00:15:17]>> Okay.

[00:15:17]>> It is when you try to do something again and again >> and you cannot do it.

[00:15:23]>> Yes, you feel blocked. You feel tired and a little angry.

[00:15:29]>> That is frustrated.

[00:15:31]>> Perfect. So frustrated is a mix of feeling tired and a little angry.

[00:15:37]>> Yes, that's right.

[00:15:38]>> Can you give a real example?

[00:15:40]>> Of course. I feel frustrated when I cannot open a jar of food.

[00:15:45]>> Oh yes.

[00:15:47]>> I try with my hands >> and it doesn't open.

[00:15:51]>> I use a towel but the lid does not move.

[00:15:54]That is very frustrating.

[00:15:57]>> I'm not screaming or very angry.

[00:16:00]>> But you feel frustrated.

[00:16:02]>> Exactly.

[00:16:03]>> That's a great example.

[00:16:05]>> What about you, Emma?

[00:16:06]>> I feel frustrated when a website is very slow.

[00:16:10]>> Oh, yes, that happens a lot.

[00:16:12]>> I click the page and wait >> and nothing happens.

[00:16:17]>> I just look at the screen and feel frustrated.

[00:16:20]>> We all know that feeling. Okay, let's move to the next word. Content.

[00:16:27]>> Content is a quiet feeling.

[00:16:29]>> Yes, it is not loud or exciting.

[00:16:32]>> Content means you are peaceful and happy.

[00:16:36]>> You are satisfied.

[00:16:37]>> You don't want anything more.

[00:16:40]>> Everything feels okay.

[00:16:42]>> Can you give an example?

[00:16:44]>> Sure. It is Sunday afternoon.

[00:16:47]>> Okay.

[00:16:48]>> I finish all my work. That already feels good.

[00:16:52]>> I sit on the sofa with a book and a cup of tea.

[00:16:56]>> Nice.

[00:16:57]>> The sun comes through the window.

[00:17:00]>> That sounds perfect.

[00:17:02]>> I feel content.

[00:17:04]>> I love that example.

[00:17:06]>> What about you?

[00:17:07]>> My example is after a big family dinner.

[00:17:10]>> Oh, I like that.

[00:17:12]>> Everyone is talking quietly.

[00:17:14]>> The house feels warm.

[00:17:17]>> My stomach is full. And you are with people you love.

[00:17:21]>> Yes, I feel very content.

[00:17:24]>> That is a wonderful feeling. Okay. Word number three, relieved.

[00:17:30]>> Relieved is a feeling that comes after worry.

[00:17:34]>> First you feel worried or scared.

[00:17:37]>> Then the problem is gone >> and your body relaxes.

[00:17:42]>> Yes. You often take a deep breath >> and you say, "Pew, I am so relieved."

[00:17:49]>> Exactly. Few is the sound of relief.

[00:17:52]>> Can you give an example?

[00:17:54]>> Sure. I am waiting for important news.

[00:17:57]>> Okay.

[00:17:58]>> My phone rings.

[00:17:59]>> That can be scary.

[00:18:01]>> But the news is good.

[00:18:02]>> What do you feel?

[00:18:04]>> I put my hand on my chest and say, "I am so relieved."

[00:18:09]>> That is a good example.

[00:18:10]>> What about you? I think I lost my phone.

[00:18:14]>> Oh no.

[00:18:14]>> I look everywhere.

[00:18:16]>> In your bag?

[00:18:17]>> Yes. In the kitchen, under the bed, >> and then >> I find it in my coat pocket.

[00:18:24]>> Ah, >> I feel relieved right away.

[00:18:27]>> It feels like a heavy thing is lifted from your shoulders.

[00:18:31]>> Exactly. Okay. Next word. Disappointed.

[00:18:35]>> Disappointed is a sad feeling about expectations. You hope for something good.

[00:18:41]>> You plan for it >> but it does not happen >> and the result is not good.

[00:18:46]>> So you feel disappointed.

[00:18:49]>> It is different from sad.

[00:18:51]>> Yes, sad can be many things.

[00:18:53]>> Disappointed is specific.

[00:18:55]>> It is when something you want does not happen.

[00:18:58]>> Can you give an example?

[00:19:00]>> Sure. I plan a picnic in the park.

[00:19:03]>> That sounds fun.

[00:19:04]>> I prepare food for my friends.

[00:19:06]>> Nice. But in the morning it is raining very hard.

[00:19:10]>> Oh no.

[00:19:11]>> We cancel the picnic.

[00:19:13]>> That's disappointing.

[00:19:14]>> Yes, I feel very disappointed.

[00:19:17]>> I understand that feeling.

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

[00:19:20]>> I wait for my favorite band's concert for months.

[00:19:24]>> You buy a ticket.

[00:19:25]>> Yes, I'm very excited.

[00:19:27]>> And then >> on the day of the concert, I get very sick.

[00:19:31]>> Oh no, >> I cannot go.

[00:19:34]>> That is very disappointing. Yes, I expected a fun night, but instead I stayed in bed.

[00:19:40]>> That is a real let down.

[00:19:42]>> Yes, let down is another way to say disappointed.

[00:19:45]>> Okay, word number five, grateful or thankful.

[00:19:50]>> These two words mean the same thing.

[00:19:52]>> Grateful is a warm and positive feeling.

[00:19:55]>> You feel grateful when you appreciate something or someone.

[00:19:59]>> You see a good thing in your life.

[00:20:01]>> It is very important to say this feeling. Yes, you can say thank you. I'm very grateful.

[00:20:08]>> Can you give an example?

[00:20:09]>> Of course. I am very busy with work.

[00:20:12]>> Okay.

[00:20:13]>> My neighbor sees this.

[00:20:15]>> That is kind.

[00:20:16]>> She cooks a meal for me.

[00:20:17]>> Wow.

[00:20:18]>> She brings it to my door.

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

[00:20:21]>> I feel very grateful for her kindness.

[00:20:24]>> That is a perfect example.

[00:20:26]>> That really is a lovely neighbor.

[00:20:28]>> Yes, very kind.

[00:20:30]>> My example is simpler. Okay, let's hear it.

[00:20:34]>> Every morning I am grateful for my warm bed.

[00:20:38]>> I love that.

[00:20:39]>> When my alarm rings, I think for one second, I am grateful for this comfortable bed.

[00:20:46]>> That is a very nice way to start the day.

[00:20:48]>> Okay, our final word is embarrassed.

[00:20:53]>> Oh, yes. The red-faced feeling.

[00:20:56]>> Exactly.

[00:20:57]>> You feel embarrassed when you do something silly in front of other people.

[00:21:01]>> Yes. You want to hide.

[00:21:03]>> Your face feels hot and turns red.

[00:21:05]>> Embarrassed is a social feeling.

[00:21:08]>> It happens when other people are watching.

[00:21:10]>> Here is my example.

[00:21:12]>> Okay.

[00:21:13]>> I am in a very quiet meeting.

[00:21:16]>> Everyone is listening.

[00:21:17]>> My stomach makes a loud noise.

[00:21:20]>> Oh no.

[00:21:22]>> Everyone hears it.

[00:21:23]>> That is embarrassing.

[00:21:25]>> I want to disappear.

[00:21:27]>> I know that feeling.

[00:21:28]>> What is your example? I'm walking and talking with you, Emma.

[00:21:32]>> Okay.

[00:21:33]>> I do not see the glass door in front of me.

[00:21:35]>> Uh-oh.

[00:21:36]>> I walk right into it. Boom.

[00:21:39]>> Oh, no.

[00:21:40]>> It does not hurt, but many people see it.

[00:21:42]>> That is very embarrassing.

[00:21:44]>> Yes, my face was red for 10 minutes.

[00:21:47]>> So, let's review our words.

[00:21:49]>> Okay.

[00:21:50]>> Frustrated means tired and blocked.

[00:21:54]>> Content means calm and satisfied.

[00:21:56]Relieved means relaxed after worry.

[00:22:00]>> Disappointed means sad about a letdown.

[00:22:03]>> Grateful or thankful means you appreciate something.

[00:22:07]>> Embarrassed means you feel silly in public and your face turns red.

[00:22:11]>> Try to use one of these words this week.

[00:22:14]>> Even in your head, >> you can think I am grateful for my coffee >> or I am frustrated with this traffic.

[00:22:21]>> Practice makes perfect.

[00:22:23]>> And it is good to name your feelings. It helps you understand yourself better.

[00:22:28]>> Wow, Emma, we talked for a long time today.

[00:22:30]>> We really did.

[00:22:32]>> We talked about so many emotions.

[00:22:34]>> I feel like I understand my own feelings better now.

[00:22:38]>> Me, too.

[00:22:38]>> It is funny how talking about feelings helps.

[00:22:42]>> Let's think about what we practiced today.

[00:22:44]>> Good idea.

[00:22:45]>> The main thing was learning the names of many feelings.

[00:22:48]>> Yes, we started with the big four.

[00:22:51]>> Happy, sad, angry, and scared. Then we learned that inside these big feelings there are more words.

[00:22:58]>> You do not have to say only happy.

[00:23:01]>> 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.

[00:23:11]>> That is a special kind of happy >> for sad. We learned upset.

[00:23:16]>> Upset can be sad and a little angry.

[00:23:19]>> We also learned disappointed. That is when something you hope for does not happen.

[00:23:25]>> For angry, we learned frustrated.

[00:23:28]>> That is when you cannot fix a problem.

[00:23:31]>> And annoyed is for small problems.

[00:23:34]>> For scared, we have afraid.

[00:23:37]>> And nervous for something that will happen like a test.

[00:23:42]>> 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.

[00:23:59]>> But we also talked about wonderful feelings >> like grateful or thankful >> and hopeful when you believe good things will come.

[00:24:08]>> The most important lesson is this.

[00:24:11]>> All feelings are okay. It is normal to feel sad, angry, scared or frustrated sometimes.

[00:24:19]>> The important thing is to talk about your feelings >> and to use the words.

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

[00:24:30]>> And when people understand you, they can help you.

[00:24:34]>> Exactly.

[00:24:35]>> And when you say, "I feel grateful," it makes the other person feel good, too.

[00:24:40]>> That's true. Sharing feelings is good for everyone.

[00:24:44]>> So please don't be shy to use these words.

[00:24:47]>> Start with easy sentences.

[00:24:49]>> You can say I am happy today >> or I am tired >> or I am nervous.

[00:24:56]>> Then when you feel more confident, try longer words.

[00:25:00]>> You can say I feel content >> or I am relieved.

[00:25:05]>> Remember practice makes perfect.

[00:25:07]>> And one great way to practice is writing. That's why we have our question of the day.

[00:25:13]>> Yes, today's question is a little personal, >> but you can answer with just one word if you want.

[00:25:19]>> Our question of the day is, >> what is one emotion you feel often and why?

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

[00:25:27]>> Do you often feel happy because you like your job?

[00:25:30]>> Do you often feel tired because you have a new baby?

[00:25:34]>> Do you feel curious because you are learning English? Or maybe you feel grateful for your family >> or frustrated with traffic.

[00:25:42]>> Any feeling is okay.
