2. Listen and infer the feeling
The speaker does not say the feeling word. Choose it from the situation.
1. proud or pleased
2. frustrated or annoyed
3. relieved
4. disappointed
Explain your evidence: I chose ______ because ______.
3. Connect feeling, cause, and reaction
Build a complete response instead of naming one adjective.
Feeling: I felt relieved.
Cause: I found my passport in my other bag.
Reaction: I checked all my documents again.
Connect: I felt relieved when I found my passport, so I checked all my documents again.
4. Choose a precise word
Different answers can be reasonable. Explain the degree and context.
- You finish a difficult project and your manager thanks you.
- A delivery is late for the third time.
- You wait for an important medical result.
- A plan is cancelled, but you get a better alternative.
Response: I would feel ______ because ______. I would probably ______.
Compare: Why is annoyed or frustrated more suitable than simply angry?
Final practice: Choose and use the words
Complete the task without copying a model. The teacher observes the communication outcome before giving one focused correction and asking for a shorter retry.
Task: Respond to four situations with a precise feeling, a reason, and a likely reaction. Use at least four different feeling words.
Success: Your word matches the situation and intensity, and your reason makes the choice understandable.
