TRANSCRIPT
Hi. I'm Gill from engVid and today in this lesson we're going to be looking at some moods, emotions, feelings, and state of mind which means what your... What state your head is in. Okay? Whether it's good or bad. But in this lesson it's all the not so good examples. In fact, we're looking at three areas of feelings: Anger, fear, and confusion. So it's a little heavy. We call that heavy. Heavy, but it's important to know this vocabulary. And you probably already know the basic words: "angry", "afraid" or "scared", "confused". But again, it's useful to have a wider vocabulary for use in everyday life talking to people, to friends, to other people. If you're taking exams, whether it's written or spoken, again, it's good to have a good range of different words that mean the same things or similar things. Okay, so...
And it's important. I mean, these are difficult subjects. Like, I say heavy. When we say "heavy" it means it's a difficult subject to talk about, but it's important to talk about feelings like this because say you're talking to a friend about it, it's helping you to understand yourself and if you have a good friend who is a good listener, they will help you by listening and understanding. So it's really good to be able to explain your feelings in a very precise way, not just saying: "Ah, I felt angry. I felt scared. I was confused." But to be able to say more... More than that. Okay. In English. So, anyway, let's start with the angry words.
So, anger: "angry". Okay? You probably know that word already. "Mad", that's a more colloquial, informal sort of word but means angry. "Mad" can also mean someone who's, you know, they're not very... Oh dear. They have a problem in their mind. They're... They're not thinking rationally. But in this meaning, this casual meaning, "mad" can mean angry. "Oh, I was so mad with that woman. She was so rude to me. She makes me so mad." It means the same as angry. "Irritable". Now, if you're irritable it's just everything annoys you. Irritation. Okay, sometimes it can be just irritation can mean something on your skin that you have to scratch, that's a kind of an irritation. There's also people can irritate you by the things they do, the things they say. And if you're feeling more irritated than usual, then that's maybe because you're tired or something else has upset you earlier, or whatever. So, "irritable" is just everything, everything makes you angry. Okay. "Prickly" is a bit similar. "Prickly", it means... Oh dear. There's an animal called a hedgehog. I don't know if you know this animal, but I'm going to attempt to draw it. People love hedgehogs. They're so cute. They have a lovely, little face. But they also have very sharp, like, needles sticking out to protect them. So, they have all these points sticking out, and if you touch them it's probably: "Ouch", like touching the end of a needle or a pin. They're very sharp. But they're called prickles. These sharp things are called prickles. So if someone's prickly, it's as if they got these sharp things all over them and if you say... You can say anything to them and they will react in a bad way as if you've said something rude when you had no intention to be rude. They just react badly. That person is prickly. So it helps to be able to say: "That woman I work with, she is so prickly. I can't say anything to her. I've stopped talking to her because it's impossible." "Prickly", okay. "Touchy" is similar. You touch... To touch. "Touchy" means like "prickly", you just say one thing to someone and they react badly as if you've touched them and it hurt or something. Okay? Okay, we're back to something a bit more normal now. "Upset". If you're upset you're probably about to cry. You're going to be crying any minute with tears if you're upset. Okay. "Upset". "Furious" is a more extreme word for "angry". We have the word "fury". "Fury", it's extreme anger, so very, very angry. "Furious". I was furious when that woman said that to me. Okay. And similar, now we're getting into some idioms. Here's an idiom. "Blowing your top". If you blow your top... This is your top, your head, and if you blow your top you just shout very loudly at somebody and lose your temper.
Wow... I'm really impressed by your polite English speaking, and beautiful accent.

Fantastic lesson Gill! You are really clear. Your topics are always interesting. You are never confusing... I am never lost when I watch your videos!!
I love the way you teach 😘
Raymond Suazo Yes amigo .i agree
Thank you,Gill. I very like your lessons.
Here in Brazil, we also have a word like prickly and this one is "espinhenta" a prickly person is a "pessoa espinhenta", full of sorrow and not a good person to be with. And touchy, if it's exactly as I can wonder while I watch your explaining is what we brazillians use to call "uma pessoa muito dódoi", what means a person who would be easily offended due to very little things. I'm loving your british accent because I'm training listening of british english. Thank you very much Gill.
Very good, Gill! Thank you!

It is always a kind of torment for me to learn English because I'm learning very slowly and I can't see a progress.
But because of watching your videos it isn't a torment at all, it is really fun even if I will merely remeber a fewest of this vocabulary.
Thanks a lot!

Dear Gill, when i listen you, i am ver relaxing and your sound is good and benefit for me. Selamlar from Turkey
What a very impressive teacher!
I really like you, since i follow your courses I improve my English, and I can now to communicate easily
Hello. Your videos are good and your explanations clear to understand English. I discovered recently a new word for confusion: bewildered (adjective): perplexed and confused; very puzzled.
You are a fantastic good teacher.
I enjoy every lesson. Thank you dear Gill!
hi Gill, i really enjoy your lessons, are well explained and very enjoyable. I was thinking that might be a good idea to add to this lesson the feelings of sadness, like sorrow, dispair, desolate, grief, etc... and add the word moody into the anger section :-) for long time i thought moody was something to do with the typical sadness of the romanticism era, something similar like melancholy, and recently i found out the real menaing of moody has more to do with anger than with sadness :-D
Thank you so much for sharing with us your knowledge of your beautiful language, greetings from Gran Canaria Island
Your videos makes me happy!
Thanks you very much, misses for your sweet way to teach English.
I really like all your lessons thank you so much for helping people like us that they want to improve their English
Thank you, Gill! It is good to see the nuances known only by the native speakers. I have never thought that being upset is a state close to crying. I would have said it was a state close to shouting at others. :-) And I thought touchy is when someone likes to touch others when (s)he talks.
Hello hapgull -- you're right, 'upset' can also mean close to anger, as well as close to crying -- it depends on the context. Also, 'touchy' does mean 'prickly' as I say in the video, but there is a term 'touchy-feely' which is used for someone who likes to get close to people, hug them, etc :-)
Learn English with Gill (engVid) Thank you very much, Gil, for giving additional information! I wish you a merry Christmas and a happy New Year! :-)
Gill is amazing as an ESL teacher I refer my students to her and I learn how to teach things from her! Keep it up great stuff
