Question

Work in pairs. Answer the questions.

Answer

  1. pleased with the results, stressed about everything, guilty about leaving you, surprised by the film, fed up with the weather
  2. Exhausted means very tired. Possible reasons: because you’ve been working for a long time or doing lots of sports or exercise, because you’ve been up since the early morning
  3. Pleased means you are happy and satisfied. You know if someone is pleased when they are smiling, maybe whistling or singing, and when they say things like Oh, that’s great, or I love that, or Thank you so much (when they receive a present).
  4. Furious means very, very angry. You know someone is furious when they scream and shout, refuse to talk to you, slam the door, slam down a phone, look angrily at you, or look at you as if they want to kill you!
  5. Upset means sad because something bad has happened. Often people feel upset because somebody has been rude to them or they have had an argument. Possible answers: someone they love dies or is ill, they lose something important, they have an argument with someone, they break up with a partner, somebody calls them a name
  6. If you feel guilty, you feel sorry because you have done something wrong. Possible answers: lying to someone, losing your temper with someone, breaking promises, forgetting birthdays 
  7. Being in a good mood means feeling positive and happy. Possible answers: someone smiling at you, getting good news of some kind, good weather, going on holiday, getting good marks, getting a pay rise 
  8. If you are pleasantly surprised, you feel pleased or happy that something has happened which you didn’t expect, so the opposite is (a bit) disappointed (though some students may also suggest shocked). The answer is definitely not UNpleasantly surprised!
