動名詞

Hey everybody, how are you feeling today, are you happy, are you sad, are you angry

情態助動詞 A2

or are you scared? Well guys as you can see I have all of these emotions for you on the

to 不定詞

board today and today I'm going to teach you 20 different ways to express yourself in English,

to talk about your emotions, after all emotions are something that we all go through and we

must have a strong vocabulary for that, so come on let's get started with our lesson

for the day, my name is Michelle and you're watching Let's Talk, the place to improve

So let's start with our first emotion for the day and that is “happiness”, so how

can you express being happy? Well the first word that I have for you is 'glad', that

you're feeling glad about something. So when can you use this word? Well imagine that your

friend is coming over to your place you'd say, “I'm glad that you're coming over to

meet me”, that's how you will use this word it means you're very happy. Now another level

of being happy is being is called 'delighted', okay imagine that you have to go to your friend's

party and you're very excited about it you'll tell her, “hey, I'm delighted to come to

your party today”, so that's delighted. Great, now let's look at the third way to

express your happiness, we have already looked at glad, we've looked at delighted now the

other word that I have for you is 'cheerful', well cheerful is not just feeling, it's also

a word that you can use to describe someone's personality. So if there is a person who is

always happy, wow I love these kind of people first of all… we would say that he or “she

has a cheerful personality”, that's cheerful for you. Now apart from cheerful there are

two more words that you can use to express your happiness and for that one we have 'thrilled'

so imagine that somebody got your favourite flowers for you on your birthday, what would

you say? You'd say, “I'm thrilled to receive these flowers, what a lovely present”, so

that's thrilled. Lovely, and with that we've reached our last word to talk about happiness

and this word is called as 'ecstatic', well this word actually comes from the English

word 'ecstasy', which is a noun and ecstatic is an adjective which you use to talk about

how you're feeling. So guys, ecstasy is a state of consistent happiness, where you're

so happy that there is no sadness at all, you're completely happy, okay? So when you're

so happy you would say that “you're feeling ecstatic” and I think the best place to

use this word is when you want to talk about the birth of a child, you would say that “the

couple was ecstatic at the birth of their first child”. Now as you notice that I used

the preposition 'at' with it so the same way when you want to use the word ecstatic,

you would say that you're 'ecstatic about' something or 'ecstatic at' something,

that's ecstatic for you. So the couple was ecstatic at the birth of their first child…

And now we have all of these five words to talk about happiness, now let's move on to

our next emotion and as you can see that is “sadness”, so how do you express being

sad? Well if you are really sick and you're very sad because you're sick, then you're

feeling miserable, yes, that's the first word, feeling 'miserable'. Right so if you know

someone who is sick and you want to ask them then you could say that “hey are you sick?

You look miserable” So either you can say that you 'feel miserable' or you 'look

miserable' which have to do more with sickness. Now let's look at the second word that you

can use to talk about feeling really sad and that is 'upset'. So if something really

bad has happened with you, you'd say that “I'm feeling really upset because my dog

died last evening”, okay? So that's how you use the word upset which means you're

very unhappy and very sad about it. Now the third word that I have for you is 'sombre'.

So when somebody die is the overall atmosphere becomes really sombre, so you could say, “ever

since my dog has passed away the atmosphere at my home is really sombre”, so that's

sombre for you and now let's look at the next word that we have to talk about sadness, well

we've already looked at miserable, upset and sombre the next word is 'gloomy'. So gloomy

is usually used to talk about weather, so when there's this really sad weather and the

sky is really clouded, you begin to feel gloomy. But at the same time if something really bad

has happened with you and you're unhappy then you could say that you're feeling gloomy about

something. So for instance if you lost your job, you could say that “I've been gloomy

ever since I've lost my job, I don't know how to regain my happiness”, okay? Now let's

look at the fourth way, which is an extreme way to talk about being sad and that is 'depressed'.

Now again this word 'depressed' comes from an English noun which is 'depression',

now guys depression is a medical condition where you feel really disturbed because of

losing somebody or having a really bad experience that's not the kind of feeling that I'm mainly

talking about here today, so what I'm talking about is the overall feeling of sadness which

lasts only for a while, so for that you could say that “I'm really depressed because I've

lost my job”, right? Which means you're extremely sad or as you could say, “I'm

a bit depressed because of my work situation here”, right? So that's how you talk about

feeling depressed temporarily and not about the medical condition depression, okay? Now

moving on let's look at our next feeling and that is mmm… being “scared”, okay what

are you scared of? Well if I have to answer this question I'd say, I'm really afraid of

spiders. So over here instead of using the word scared, I used the word 'afraid'

and that's my first synonym to talk about being scared. Now apart from this word you

could say that you're 'frightened' of something, which means you're very scared

of something, that's frightened. So you've to look carefully at the spelling because

in this word we have 'gh' in the middle, which is not really pronounced so when you

write it remember to add 'gh' so that's frightened. Now you can be afraid of something,

you can be frightened of something, you could also feel something terrible when you're terrified

of something, so 'terrified' means being extremely scared of something. So well if

I have to answer this question “I'm really terrified of heights” and if you're scared

of something particular you could say that you're 'terrified of' it. Now did you

notice I used the preposition 'of' so usually when you say use the word 'terrified'

you need to mention, what are you 'terrified of'? What is that thing which gets you really

scared? So that's how you say, you're 'terrified of' something. Great, now let's move on

and look at the next word that we have for being scared and that is, 'creeped out'.

So if something scares you a lot you could say that it 'creeps you out', so for me

you know clowns, I'm really scared of them and they actually creep me out, which means

that when I see them I almost feel like I saw a ghost, so I'd say that “I don't like

clowns because they creep me out”, but it's important when you say creep out you add 'me'

in the middle of that to talk about what creeps you out, or else you could just say that “clowns

creep me out”, okay? Now the final one that we have is, 'spooked out'. So if there's

a loud noise in the room, I'm sure you will be spooked out, especially if it's in the

middle of the night when there is no light and absolutely dark and you recently watched

a horror movie… I'm sure you'll be spooked out. Or else I remember this other time, when

in the middle of the night there was this loud noise and my cat spooked out like, oh

she was so scared about who was there or somebody had just entered the room, so that spooked

out for you and with that we have already looked at five words to talk about being scared.

Now we're moving to the last section of our lesson wishes to talk about “anger”. So

the first word that you can use to talk about anger is, 'mad', okay? Okay so when you're

angry at somebody, you could say that “I'm really mad at you for not getting to the restaurant

in time”. Now again with mad I have used the preposition 'at' and similarly you

also need to mention what are you angry about by using mad at something, so mad at you or

mad at her or mad about something, okay? Now the other word that you can use to express

your anger is 'furious', so if you have lost some important documents you could say,

“I'm really furious because I can't find my college degree”, well obviously if you

can't find it you'll be really angry and you'd want to find it as soon as possible because
