Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here
>
>

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

What do you do when you feel a lot of stress
What do you do when you feel stressed out
How do you relieve your stress
After work I usually go out with some friends and have a few drinks
We usually complain about our jobs over a bottle of Soju
Drinking is the way we deal with stress
On the weekend my friends and I go out and drink a lot Its the only

We usually complain about our jobs over a bottle of Soju
Drinking is the way we deal with stress
On the weekend my friends and I go out and drink a lot Its the only

friends

Anger
Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words
There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person
Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back
What was he thinking I thought we were friends too
I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes
been sleeping with my girlfriend
Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I
still have feelings for her
Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap
I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me
he acts like were close friends
Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im
never trusting him again
I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I
heard it from three different people I was so pissed
Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling
I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed
I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me
I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to
me
If that happened to me Id get revenge
What are you going to do to get him back
That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back
stabber
The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to
have any friends
Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences
I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did
this to me
What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good
Whyd you do it
You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings
What Am I not a friend or something
Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I
need it now
You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay
you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this
Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you
Are you mad at me
Are you angry
Youre not disappointed are you
Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it
I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me
I really didnt know it was going to make you upset
Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard
I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty
different ways I could hurt his business
Im going to screw with him so much
In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won
There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here
Im so frustrated
Its so frustrating working with him
I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome
He gets frustrated pretty easily
Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair
Im not really mad just a little disappointed
That really hurt me Im so disappointed
Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level
In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea
That was low
I cant believe Jackie would do something so low
Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

start crying the next minute

thought he was emotional because he would cry when I would yell at
him but I now think hes a psycho

Anger

Anger - Dialogues
Anger
Anger
Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words
There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person
Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back
What was he thinking I thought we were friends too
I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes
been sleeping with my girlfriend
Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I
still have feelings for her
Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap
I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me
he acts like were close friends
Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im
never trusting him again
I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I
heard it from three different people I was so pissed
Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling
I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed
I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me
I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to
me
If that happened to me Id get revenge
What are you going to do to get him back
That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back
stabber
The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to
have any friends
Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences
I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did
this to me
What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good
Whyd you do it
You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings
What Am I not a friend or something
Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I
need it now
You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay
you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this
Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you
Are you mad at me
Are you angry
Youre not disappointed are you
Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it
I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me
I really didnt know it was going to make you upset
Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard
I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty
different ways I could hurt his business
Im going to screw with him so much
In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won
There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here
Im so frustrated
Its so frustrating working with him
I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome
He gets frustrated pretty easily
Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair
Im not really mad just a little disappointed
That really hurt me Im so disappointed
Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level
In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea
That was low
I cant believe Jackie would do something so low
Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task
Anger - Dialogues
A What happened to your car
B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car
A Are they going to pay you for the damages
B Theyre saying it was already there
A What the hell That doesnt make sense What are you going to do
B I have to go to court A cop was there so he can prove that the damage
wasnt there
A That sucks Id be pissed if that happened to me
B I got an estimate and its four thousand dollars
A Oh my gosh Damn screw the court I would burn down their store
B Well see what happens after court

Anger
Anger
Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words
There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person
Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back
What was he thinking I thought we were friends too
I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes
been sleeping with my girlfriend
Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I
still have feelings for her
Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap
I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me
he acts like were close friends
Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im
never trusting him again
I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I
heard it from three different people I was so pissed
Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling
I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed
I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me
I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to
me
If that happened to me Id get revenge
What are you going to do to get him back
That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back
stabber
The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to
have any friends
Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences
I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did
this to me
What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good
Whyd you do it
You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings
What Am I not a friend or something
Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I
need it now
You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay
you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this
Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you
Are you mad at me
Are you angry
Youre not disappointed are you
Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it
I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me
I really didnt know it was going to make you upset
Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard
I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty
different ways I could hurt his business
Im going to screw with him so much
In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won
There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here
Im so frustrated
Its so frustrating working with him
I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome
He gets frustrated pretty easily
Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair
Im not really mad just a little disappointed
That really hurt me Im so disappointed
Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level
In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea
That was low
I cant believe Jackie would do something so low
Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task
Anger - Dialogues
A What happened to your car
B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car
A Are they going to pay you for the damages
B Theyre saying it was already there
A What the hell That doesnt make sense What are you going to do
B I have to go to court A cop was there so he can prove that the damage
wasnt there
A That sucks Id be pissed if that happened to me
B I got an estimate and its four thousand dollars
A Oh my gosh Damn screw the court I would burn down their store

Anger
Anger
Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words
There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person
Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back
What was he thinking I thought we were friends too
I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes
been sleeping with my girlfriend
Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I
still have feelings for her
Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap
I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me
he acts like were close friends
Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im
never trusting him again
I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I
heard it from three different people I was so pissed
Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling
I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed
I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me
I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to
me
If that happened to me Id get revenge
What are you going to do to get him back
That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back
stabber
The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to
have any friends
Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences
I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did
this to me
What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good
Whyd you do it
You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings
What Am I not a friend or something
Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I
need it now
You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay
you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this
Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you
Are you mad at me
Are you angry
Youre not disappointed are you
Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it
I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me
I really didnt know it was going to make you upset
Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard
I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty
different ways I could hurt his business
Im going to screw with him so much
In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won
There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here
Im so frustrated
Its so frustrating working with him
I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome
He gets frustrated pretty easily
Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair
Im not really mad just a little disappointed
That really hurt me Im so disappointed
Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level
In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea
That was low
I cant believe Jackie would do something so low
Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task
Anger - Dialogues
A What happened to your car
B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car
A Are they going to pay you for the damages
B Theyre saying it was already there
A What the hell That doesnt make sense What are you going to do
B I have to go to court A cop was there so he can prove that the damage
wasnt there
A That sucks Id be pissed if that happened to me
B I got an estimate and its four thousand dollars
A Oh my gosh Damn screw the court I would burn down their store
B Well see what happens after court

Anger
Anger
Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words
There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person
Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back
What was he thinking I thought we were friends too
I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes
been sleeping with my girlfriend
Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I
still have feelings for her
Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap
I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me
he acts like were close friends
Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im
never trusting him again
I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I
heard it from three different people I was so pissed
Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling
I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed
I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me
I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to
me
If that happened to me Id get revenge
What are you going to do to get him back
That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back
stabber
The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to
have any friends
Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences
I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did
this to me
What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good
Whyd you do it
You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings
What Am I not a friend or something
Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I
need it now
You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay
you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this
Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you
Are you mad at me
Are you angry
Youre not disappointed are you
Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it
I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me
I really didnt know it was going to make you upset
Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard
I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty
different ways I could hurt his business
Im going to screw with him so much
In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won
There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here
Im so frustrated
Its so frustrating working with him
I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome
He gets frustrated pretty easily
Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair
Im not really mad just a little disappointed
That really hurt me Im so disappointed
Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level
In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea
That was low
I cant believe Jackie would do something so low
Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

Anger
Different people react in different ways when they are angry In this lesson we will look at a variety of sentences people use when they are angry When someone is angry in the real world they use a lot of profanity or curse words Because of this fact this lesson will contain bad words
There are many ways a person can get angry Lets first look at the situation where it involved a different person
Im so pissed Roger just stabbed me in the back
What was he thinking I thought we were friends too
I dont know what Im going to do when I see him I found out that hes
been sleeping with my girlfriend
Matt is dating my ex-girlfriend Im pretty upset about that He knows I
still have feelings for her
Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap
I cant believe he was talking behind my back Whenever he talks to me
he acts like were close friends
Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im
never trusting him again
I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I
heard it from three different people I was so pissed
Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling
I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed
I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me
I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to
me
If that happened to me Id get revenge
What are you going to do to get him back
That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back
stabber
The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to
have any friends
Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences
I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did
this to me
What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good
Whyd you do it
You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings
What Am I not a friend or something
Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I
need it now
You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay
you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this
Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you
Are you mad at me
Are you angry
Youre not disappointed are you
Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it
I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me
I really didnt know it was going to make you upset
Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard
I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty
different ways I could hurt his business
Im going to screw with him so much
In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won
There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here
Im so frustrated
Its so frustrating working with him
I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome
He gets frustrated pretty easily
Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair
Im not really mad just a little disappointed
That really hurt me Im so disappointed
Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level
In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea
That was low
I cant believe Jackie would do something so low
Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task
Anger - Dialogues
A What happened to your car
B A tow truck was towing my car and put all those dents in my car
A Are they going to pay you for the damages
B Theyre saying it was already there
A What the hell That doesnt make sense What are you going to do
B I have to go to court A cop was there so he can prove that the damage
wasnt there
A That sucks Id be pissed if that happened to me
B I got an estimate and its four thousand dollars
A Oh my gosh Damn screw the court I would burn down their store
B Well see what happens after court

Sad or DepressedIts unfortunate that there seems to be more negative emotion than positive ones Being sad and depressed is a common emotion that we must deal with While dealing with these negative emotions it is good to talk about how you feel Lets get started so you can say how bad you feel in English
Im not going to cover feeling sad or depressed due to a broken heart in this lesson Having a broken heart is a large topic so I will dedicate a whole lesson to the broken heart
There are several ways to express you are sad by using different words Here is a small list of different words you might hear

Lets use these words in sentences

Shes sad that she wasnt selected as the representative

I got a bad grade in my final Im just a little down
Jack is feeling pretty down Lets take him out for a night of fun

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation
Our team lost the final match We were second placeMy mother is very sick right now Im worried and sadMy grandmother is in the hospital I dont think shes going to make itMy uncle was diagnosed with cancer The doctors dont expect him to make itMy cousin was killed in a car accident It was the saddest thing in my lifeI trained so hard but I didnt make the wrestling team Im a little downI didnt get into that University Im so depressed and my parents are going to be so disappointedMy grandfather just passed away I was so close to him

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here
>
>

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care

still have feelings for her
Whenever I think about him I get pissed He treats his friends like crap

he acts like were close friends
Matt borrowed my car and put a dent in it He claims he didnt do it Im
never trusting him again
I told Scott a secret and made sure he never tells anyone The next week I
heard it from three different people I was so pissed
Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling
I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed
I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me
I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to
me
If that happened to me Id get revenge
What are you going to do to get him back
That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back
stabber
The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to
have any friends
Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences

Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard
I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty
different ways I could hurt his business
Im going to screw with him so much
In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won
There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here
Im so frustrated
Its so frustrating working with him
I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome
He gets frustrated pretty easily
Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair
Im not really mad just a little disappointed
That really hurt me Im so disappointed
Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level
In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea

Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

Anger - UnderstandingThere are only a few things you need to say when someone is talking to you about anger The best thing to do is understand their feeling
I cant believe that happened Id be so pissed
I know how you feel I was so angry when that happened to me
I cant imagine how angry you must feel That has never happened to
me
If that happened to me Id get revenge
What are you going to do to get him back
That totally sucks but Im not surprised I always knew he was a back
stabber
The best thing to do is stop being his friend He doesnt deserve to
have any friends

I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did
this to me
What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good
Whyd you do it

What Am I not a friend or something

need it now

you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this
Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you
Are you mad at me
Are you angry

Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it
I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me
I really didnt know it was going to make you upset
Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard
I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty
different ways I could hurt his business
Im going to screw with him so much
In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won
There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here
Im so frustrated
Its so frustrating working with him
I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome
He gets frustrated pretty easily
Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair
Im not really mad just a little disappointed
That really hurt me Im so disappointed
Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level
In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea

I cant believe Jackie would do something so low
Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

friends

Anger - ConfrontingWhen you are talking to the person that made you angry it is common to lose control and say a lot of things Here are some common sentences
I thought you were a friend I had so much trust in you I cant believe you did
this to me
What were you thinking when you stabbed me in the back Did it feel good
Whyd you do it
You know I still have feelings for Mandy You didnt even consider my feelings
What Am I not a friend or something
Youre not the only one hurting for money You owe me five hundred dollars I
need it now
You didnt have to tell my parents that I owed you money I said I would pay
you back when I got my paycheck I cant believe you would do this
Sentences you can ask or say if you feel a friend is angry with you
Are you mad at me
Are you angry
Youre not disappointed are you
Dont be angry with me I really didnt mean it
I didnt know you were involved I hope youre not mad at me
I really didnt know it was going to make you upset
Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard
I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty
different ways I could hurt his business
Im going to screw with him so much
In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won
There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here
Im so frustrated
Its so frustrating working with him
I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome
He gets frustrated pretty easily
Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair
Im not really mad just a little disappointed
That really hurt me Im so disappointed
Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level
In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea
That was low
I cant believe Jackie would do something so low
Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

If your emotions change easily then you are an emotional person An emotional person can also be described as one who is affected by things such as sad movies criticism or easily angered In this lesson we will go through some sentences talking about emotional people
I know a lot of artists and many of them are emotional I think it helps them with their creativityI saw a guy cry in a movie He must be very emotionalEmotional girls are high maintenance Its really a headache dealing with themMy last boyfriend was so emotional His emotions would change drastically in the same day

When someone is way too emotional and it affects how they act in a negative way some people will call them a psycho

start crying the next minute

thought he was emotional because he would cry when I would yell at
him but I now think hes a psycho

Anger - OtherIf you make good friends you can avoid these types of scenarios However there are times when the situation was out of your control For example a friend of mine had to landscape his back yard for his house so he called a company to delivery a lot of top soil As the driver was driving back to the house he hit my friends house and damaged a pipeline The driver claimed it wasnt his fault and said he wouldnt pay for the damages When things like this happen we use the court system to get payment But my friend was so angry because they were not accepting fault Here are some of the things I heard
I was so pissed for a couple of weeks During that time I thought of twenty
different ways I could hurt his business
Im going to screw with him so much
In the end everything worked out They went to court and my friend won
There are a couple of other emotions that are similar to being angry Ill cover some of them here
Im so frustrated
Its so frustrating working with him
I was so frustrated I stopped caring about the outcome
He gets frustrated pretty easily
Its easy to get frustrated when things are not fair
Im not really mad just a little disappointed
That really hurt me Im so disappointed
Im really disappointed in you I didnt know you could stoop to that level
In boxing a low blow is a hit below the belt that is considered unfair The term low blow became widely used when someone did something unfair Here are some sentences to give you an idea
That was low
I cant believe Jackie would do something so low
Now that we know what low means stooping to that level means to do something that is low You are basically lowering yourself to perform a bad or unfair task

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

friends

friends

friends

Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger

Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else

I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Drinking is the way we deal with stress
On the weekend my friends and I go out and drink a lot Its the only
way to stop thinking about work

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger

Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here
>

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

What do you do when you feel a lot of stress
What do you do when you feel stressed out
How do you relieve your stress
After work I usually go out with some friends and have a few drinks
We usually complain about our jobs over a bottle of Soju
Drinking is the way we deal with stress
On the weekend my friends and I go out and drink a lot Its the only
way to stop thinking about work
Although drinking to relieve stress is a normal practice It is a bad interview question When you are talking to friends it is normal to say that you drink to take care of the stress but if you talk to someone important make sure you give a simple answer
I usually go to the river and relax by the waterI like to rent a movie and relax on the sofa This really helps me deal with my stressWhat stresses you out the mostWhat makes you stressed the mostWhere do you get the most stress fromMy company gives me the most stressMy girlfriend gives me the most stressI get a lot of stress from my parentsSchool is the most stressful for meEverything about life is stressfulI have a lot of stress trying to pay all the bills

There are several ways to express you are sad by using different words Here is a small list of different words you might hear

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation
Our team lost the final match We were second placeMy mother is very sick right now Im worried and sadMy grandmother is in the hospital I dont think shes going to make itMy uncle was diagnosed with cancer The doctors dont expect him to make itMy cousin was killed in a car accident It was the saddest thing in my lifeI trained so hard but I didnt make the wrestling team Im a little downI didnt get into that University Im so depressed and my parents are going to be so disappointedMy grandfather just passed away I was so close to him

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here
>
>
>
Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

friends

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

start crying the next minute

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here
>
>

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

What do you do when you feel stressed out
How do you relieve your stress
After work I usually go out with some friends and have a few drinks
We usually complain about our jobs over a bottle of Soju
Drinking is the way we deal with stress
On the weekend my friends and I go out and drink a lot Its the only
way to stop thinking about work
Although drinking to relieve stress is a normal practice It is a bad interview question When you are talking to friends it is normal to say that you drink to take care of the stress but if you talk to someone important make sure you give a simple answer
I usually go to the river and relax by the waterI like to rent a movie and relax on the sofa This really helps me deal with my stressWhat stresses you out the mostWhat makes you stressed the mostWhere do you get the most stress fromMy company gives me the most stressMy girlfriend gives me the most stressI get a lot of stress from my parentsSchool is the most stressful for meEverything about life is stressfulI have a lot of stress trying to pay all the bills

Situational Depression

Doctor and Friend
Sad or DepressedIts unfortunate that there seems to be more negative emotion than positive ones Being sad and depressed is a common emotion that we must deal with While dealing with these negative emotions it is good to talk about how you feel Lets get started so you can say how bad you feel in English
Im not going to cover feeling sad or depressed due to a broken heart in this lesson Having a broken heart is a large topic so I will dedicate a whole lesson to the broken heart
There are several ways to express you are sad by using different words Here is a small list of different words you might hear
Sad
Down
Gloomy
Feeling Blue
Depressed
Lets use these words in sentences
Hes a little sad that Mark didnt invite him to his birthday party
Shes sad that she wasnt selected as the representative
I always cry during sad movies
Im feeling a little down
I got a bad grade in my final Im just a little down
Jack is feeling pretty down Lets take him out for a night of fun
I feel so gloomy all the time
I wish I was happy Im sick of feeling gloomy
Lets go to a bar Im feeling a bit gloomy
Im feeling a little blue right now
Jack hasnt come out in a long time Hes feeling a little blue Lets try
to cheer him up
I didnt get my promotion from work Its depressing me
Lets go get drunk tonight Im feeling depressed
Sometimes I feel depressed for no reason
Sad or Depressed - Reactions
Crying is one reaction to being sad When someone is crying you know it is because they are sad for some reason Here are some questions you can ask
Why are you crying
Whats wrong
Why are you sad
Whats bothering you
Why do you feel so bad
Why are you depressed
Whats making you feel like this

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation
Our team lost the final match We were second placeMy mother is very sick right now Im worried and sadMy grandmother is in the hospital I dont think shes going to make itMy uncle was diagnosed with cancer The doctors dont expect him to make itMy cousin was killed in a car accident It was the saddest thing in my lifeI trained so hard but I didnt make the wrestling team Im a little downI didnt get into that University Im so depressed and my parents are going to be so disappointedMy grandfather just passed away I was so close to him
>
Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here
>
>
>
Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

I wish my mom would stop saying how much she worries about me It doesnt
really help my situation
Why do parents always tell us that they are worried about us
If you werent such a screw up then your parents wouldnt have to worry
about you
Your parents only worry because they love you
Your mom only wants what is best for you Thats why shes worrying so

Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Doctor and Friend
Sad or DepressedIts unfortunate that there seems to be more negative emotion than positive ones Being sad and depressed is a common emotion that we must deal with While dealing with these negative emotions it is good to talk about how you feel Lets get started so you can say how bad you feel in English
Im not going to cover feeling sad or depressed due to a broken heart in this lesson Having a broken heart is a large topic so I will dedicate a whole lesson to the broken heart
There are several ways to express you are sad by using different words Here is a small list of different words you might hear
Sad
Down
Gloomy
Feeling Blue
Depressed
Lets use these words in sentences
Hes a little sad that Mark didnt invite him to his birthday party
Shes sad that she wasnt selected as the representative
I always cry during sad movies
Im feeling a little down
I got a bad grade in my final Im just a little down
Jack is feeling pretty down Lets take him out for a night of fun
I feel so gloomy all the time
I wish I was happy Im sick of feeling gloomy
Lets go to a bar Im feeling a bit gloomy
Im feeling a little blue right now
Jack hasnt come out in a long time Hes feeling a little blue Lets try
to cheer him up

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation
Our team lost the final match We were second placeMy mother is very sick right now Im worried and sadMy grandmother is in the hospital I dont think shes going to make itMy uncle was diagnosed with cancer The doctors dont expect him to make itMy cousin was killed in a car accident It was the saddest thing in my lifeI trained so hard but I didnt make the wrestling team Im a little downI didnt get into that University Im so depressed and my parents are going to be so disappointedMy grandfather just passed away I was so close to him

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here
>
>
>
Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Doctor and Friend
Sad or DepressedIts unfortunate that there seems to be more negative emotion than positive ones Being sad and depressed is a common emotion that we must deal with While dealing with these negative emotions it is good to talk about how you feel Lets get started so you can say how bad you feel in English
Im not going to cover feeling sad or depressed due to a broken heart in this lesson Having a broken heart is a large topic so I will dedicate a whole lesson to the broken heart
There are several ways to express you are sad by using different words Here is a small list of different words you might hear
Sad
Down
Gloomy
Feeling Blue
Depressed
Lets use these words in sentences
Hes a little sad that Mark didnt invite him to his birthday party
Shes sad that she wasnt selected as the representative
I always cry during sad movies
Im feeling a little down
I got a bad grade in my final Im just a little down
Jack is feeling pretty down Lets take him out for a night of fun
I feel so gloomy all the time

Im feeling a little blue right now
Jack hasnt come out in a long time Hes feeling a little blue Lets try
to cheer him up

Sad or Depressed - Reactions
Crying is one reaction to being sad When someone is crying you know it is because they are sad for some reason Here are some questions you can ask
Why are you crying
Whats wrong
Why are you sad
Whats bothering you
Why do you feel so bad

Whats making you feel like this

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation
Our team lost the final match We were second placeMy mother is very sick right now Im worried and sadMy grandmother is in the hospital I dont think shes going to make itMy uncle was diagnosed with cancer The doctors dont expect him to make itMy cousin was killed in a car accident It was the saddest thing in my lifeI trained so hard but I didnt make the wrestling team Im a little downI didnt get into that University Im so depressed and my parents are going to be so disappointedMy grandfather just passed away I was so close to him

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here
>
>
>
Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here
>
>

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Doctor and Friend
Sad or DepressedIts unfortunate that there seems to be more negative emotion than positive ones Being sad and depressed is a common emotion that we must deal with While dealing with these negative emotions it is good to talk about how you feel Lets get started so you can say how bad you feel in English
Im not going to cover feeling sad or depressed due to a broken heart in this lesson Having a broken heart is a large topic so I will dedicate a whole lesson to the broken heart
There are several ways to express you are sad by using different words Here is a small list of different words you might hear
Sad
Down
Gloomy
Feeling Blue
Depressed
Lets use these words in sentences
Hes a little sad that Mark didnt invite him to his birthday party
Shes sad that she wasnt selected as the representative
I always cry during sad movies
Im feeling a little down
I got a bad grade in my final Im just a little down
Jack is feeling pretty down Lets take him out for a night of fun
I feel so gloomy all the time
I wish I was happy Im sick of feeling gloomy
Lets go to a bar Im feeling a bit gloomy
Im feeling a little blue right now
Jack hasnt come out in a long time Hes feeling a little blue Lets try
to cheer him up
I didnt get my promotion from work Its depressing me
Lets go get drunk tonight Im feeling depressed
Sometimes I feel depressed for no reason
Sad or Depressed - Reactions
Crying is one reaction to being sad When someone is crying you know it is because they are sad for some reason Here are some questions you can ask
Why are you crying
Whats wrong
Why are you sad
Whats bothering you
Why do you feel so bad
Why are you depressed
Whats making you feel like this

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation
Our team lost the final match We were second placeMy mother is very sick right now Im worried and sadMy grandmother is in the hospital I dont think shes going to make itMy uncle was diagnosed with cancer The doctors dont expect him to make itMy cousin was killed in a car accident It was the saddest thing in my lifeI trained so hard but I didnt make the wrestling team Im a little downI didnt get into that University Im so depressed and my parents are going to be so disappointedMy grandfather just passed away I was so close to him

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here
>
>
>
Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

friends

Doctor and Friend
Sad or DepressedIts unfortunate that there seems to be more negative emotion than positive ones Being sad and depressed is a common emotion that we must deal with While dealing with these negative emotions it is good to talk about how you feel Lets get started so you can say how bad you feel in English
Im not going to cover feeling sad or depressed due to a broken heart in this lesson Having a broken heart is a large topic so I will dedicate a whole lesson to the broken heart
There are several ways to express you are sad by using different words Here is a small list of different words you might hear
Sad
Down
Gloomy
Feeling Blue
Depressed
Lets use these words in sentences
Hes a little sad that Mark didnt invite him to his birthday party
Shes sad that she wasnt selected as the representative
I always cry during sad movies
Im feeling a little down
I got a bad grade in my final Im just a little down
Jack is feeling pretty down Lets take him out for a night of fun
I feel so gloomy all the time
I wish I was happy Im sick of feeling gloomy
Lets go to a bar Im feeling a bit gloomy
Im feeling a little blue right now
Jack hasnt come out in a long time Hes feeling a little blue Lets try
to cheer him up
I didnt get my promotion from work Its depressing me
Lets go get drunk tonight Im feeling depressed
Sometimes I feel depressed for no reason
Sad or Depressed - Reactions
Crying is one reaction to being sad When someone is crying you know it is because they are sad for some reason Here are some questions you can ask
Why are you crying
Whats wrong
Why are you sad
Whats bothering you
Why do you feel so bad
Why are you depressed
Whats making you feel like this
>

Because there are so many things in the world that can make us sad it is hard to cover everything I can only cover the tip of the iceberg on this subject But feel free to ask any specific questions and we will let you know the proper sentence for your situation
Our team lost the final match We were second placeMy mother is very sick right now Im worried and sadMy grandmother is in the hospital I dont think shes going to make itMy uncle was diagnosed with cancer The doctors dont expect him to make itMy cousin was killed in a car accident It was the saddest thing in my lifeI trained so hard but I didnt make the wrestling team Im a little downI didnt get into that University Im so depressed and my parents are going to be so disappointedMy grandfather just passed away I was so close to him
>
Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger
Korea lost the gold medal to the US It was so depressing
watching the US get away with another gold medalldquo
Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here
>
>
>
Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Sometimes sadness can turn into anger For example when the US gets away with gold medals at the cost of Koreans or other countries its sad to see After the initial feeling it turns into anger

Im getting sick of watching Korea get screwed by the
Americans Its really discouraging
Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Sad or Depressed - Situational DepressionDepression is classified as a disease Many people suffer from depression and it is good to know how to say some sentences whether it is you or someone else
Situational depression
When someone first comes to the United States it is common to be depressed This is usually due to loneliness boredom or feeling sad because you miss your friends and family
I think Im depressed because I have nothing to do here
Im depressed because I dont have anything here
Im so lonely here I left all my friends to come here

Usually time heals these types of problems Sometimes whatever you say doesnt really help They know the problem but they cant control how they feel Regardless saying that you understand can show them that you care
It must be really tough leaving your friends and family behind
I have never experienced that but I imagine it must be really hard
Starting a new life someplace different is really hard Its normal to feel this
way I think youll get better with time
If you surround yourself with people you might find new friends
Why dont you go to church You can find peace there and even find great
friends

Hes a psycho I saw him stalking you for a week

start crying the next minute

thought he was emotional because he would cry when I would yell at
him but I now think hes a psycho

When someone is scared one instinct is to run away from the situation The phrase running scared is used this way
Why is he running scaredIs the government running scaredThe revealed secret had the CEO running scared
Being scared does not always imply being frightened or afraid of monsters A grown person can use this word if he or she is worried about something Here are some examples
My company is downsizing Its a little scary going through this I dont know if I will have a job next monthIm afraid my company is going to lay off our whole departmentIts a little scary waiting for the test results This is so important to me I really hope I pass
If I tell her Im afraid shes going to blow upIm afraid to tell her because shes going to be mad
