Feelings & Emotions

Ask and answer these questions with a partner. Try to use the feelings vocabulary in your answers.

• Think of a time you felt really proud of yourself. What happened?
• Is there anything in your life that makes you feel anxious? How do you deal with it?
• When was the last time you felt relieved? Tell your partner about it.
• Describe a moment when you felt embarrassed. What did you do?
• Do you ever feel overwhelmed? What usually causes it?
• Tell your partner about someone or something you feel grateful for.

Take turns. For each feeling below, describe a personal story — a real moment when you felt that way. Your partner listens and asks one follow-up question. Make notes in the space provided.

Student A: choose a word from the box and describe a situation where you would feel that way — don’t say the word itself! Student B: listen and guess the feeling. Swap after each turn.
