first lesson

at englishclass101.com

hi everybody my name is alicia in this

lesson i'm going to talk about

expressions you can use to express

nervousness and frustration

let's get started you'll notice with

each of the expressions i'm going to

talk about here

i've added an n or an f

next to the expression so the n means

that expression

is commonly used to express nervous

feelings so

feelings of nervousness or feelings of

anxiety

the f means that it's commonly used for

frustration to express when you feel

that angry frustrated

feeling so we'll look at quite a few of

these

let's begin with this one a very basic

expression

for nervousness i'm really nervous

about topic i'm really nervous about

something i have really in parentheses

here because you can remove it

to decrease the emphasis of this

expression

so i'm nervous about something or i'm

really nervous about something

you could say i'm very nervous about or

i'm so

nervous about as well all of those are

okay

for example i'm really nervous about

my job interview at native speed this

would sound like

i'm really nervous about my job

interview so we follow i'm really

nervous about

with usually the noun phrase the noun

phrase here i'm really nervous about my

job

interview so this is a basic nervousness

phrase that you

can use let's move on to the next one we

can use this one for nervousness

and for frustration the expression is

i'm losing

sleep over something so this over

means about but we don't always use i'm

losing sleep about we usually say i'm

using i'm losing

sleep over something i'm losing sleep

over

noun phrase so to lose sleep

means to be unable to sleep so imagine

i should have eight hours of sleep but

i'm so nervous or i'm so frustrated

i lost two hours of that sleep i only

slept

six hours because i was so nervous or

because i was so frustrated

thinking about this thing we use it in

the progressive tense to mean this is

happening in my life

right now i'm losing sleep over

something for example i'm losing sleep

over the mistake i made last week

i'm losing sleep over the mistake i made

last week so in this case a mistake

made the previous week is causing the

speaker to

lose sleep at native speed this sounds

like i'm losing sleep over the mistake i

made last week

so we can use this for something that is

causing us

so much nervousness or so much

frustration that we have

difficulty sleeping okay let's go to the

next expression this one is commonly

used to express

frustration it's something something

usually a noun phrase here

something something is or are depending

on if this is a singular or a plural

noun driving me crazy

driving me crazy so this driving me

crazy

can be used in positive situations like

if there's a person you're really

attracted to and you can't stop thinking

about that person

you could say wow he or she is driving

me crazy

that's kind of a more positive use here

though

this is used in a negative way

also keep in mind this is in present

tense this

is or are but you can use was or were to

talk about something in the past

that caused you frustration for example

my co-worker is driving me crazy so if

your co-worker does something

very annoying or if your co-worker

always makes the same mistakes

you could say my co-worker is driving me

crazy so that kind of voice that sort of

tone

communicates your frustration so not my

co-worker is driving me crazy but

my co-worker's driving me crazy that

sounds very frustrated

another example with a plural form

and past tense those rude customers

were driving me crazy those rude

customers were driving me crazy so this

is in maybe a retail situation or a

shopping situation

some customers that were in the store a

moment ago

maybe they're gone now we're bothering

the speaker

those rude customers were driving me

crazy so that's the kind of intonation

you'll hear

with this expression when we want to use

it to express

frustration okay let's move along to

this next one

i can't stop thinking about something so

this is something we can use for

nervousness

and for frustration and again if you

want to

you can use this to talk about positive

things as well

like i can't stop thinking about my new

apartment i'm so excited

so with this expression your tone really

matters the sound of your voice

your body language your facial

expression it all really is important

here

i can't stop thinking about something so

for example

i can't stop thinking about the company

layoffs the company layoffs so a company

layoff

is a company situation wherein many

people

lose their jobs so a layoff is a

situation

usually like budget or policy related

where the company

must remove some people from the company

so i can't stop thinking about the

company layoffs that's how we would say

it at native speed

so again i can't stop thinking about

noun phrase there's

usually a simple noun phrase after this

okay let's go to the next one this is a

frustration pattern a very common

frustration pattern

i included this because we commonly use

this pattern

for machine related problems the pattern

my machine won't verb my machine won't

verb

i've included my of course you could

change that to

his or her or whatever but the machine

we use here is like an

everyday machine we expect to function

correctly so for example my computer

won't turn on

here computer is my machine my object

and turn on so the power isn't coming on

we use won't so this is the reduced form

will not will not we use this pattern

to express something that's not

functioning correctly we use

won't to do that my machine won't turn

on my computer won't turn on or my phone

won't play sound

so this is a very quick common pattern

we use to talk about frustration

relating to machines okay

on to the next couple these two

are very similar and they're used to

express

nervousness a nervous feeling so maybe

some of you maybe many people

feel sick like your stomach feels sick

when you get

very very nervous to express that you

can say i feel sick

or my stomach hurts so

using this in times of nervousness can

help the other person

understand your level of nervousness

like oh my gosh i'm so nervous i feel

sick

so you can combine this with something

like this i'm really nervous about my

performance

i feel sick that's very natural so

i feel sick or my stomach hurts can help

express

nervous feelings the next expression

is i'm so nervous i'm shaking i'm so

nervous i'm shaking

so maybe for some people you feel very

very nervous and your body starts to

tremble so this motion is called

shaking i'm shaking we use it in the

progressive form because it's happening

now i'm so nervous i'm shaking maybe

before a speech or before a performance

so nervous i'm shaking be careful don't

forget the sew

not i'm nervous i'm shaking but i'm so

nervous i'm shaking this so

is showing us that it's like this degree

my nervousness level is so high

i am shaking so this will help

again communicate the level of your

nervousness

okay let's go to the other side of the

board

the next three expressions are all very

commonly used to express

nervousness first i don't have a good

feeling about this i don't have a good

feeling about this

you can use this when you are making

plans or when you're in a group of

people making a decision

and you don't feel comfortable this is

similar this next one

i don't have a good feeling about this

at native speed

i don't have a good feeling about this

so this expresses

maybe some uncertainty i don't have a

good feeling singular a good feeling

about

this situation i don't have a good

feeling about this

as i said the next one is quite similar

this

makes me really uncomfortable or this

makes me uncomfortable

so this makes me mean this situation

causes me to feel uncomfortable

this makes me really uncomfortable this

decision

i don't like it it makes me feel really

uncomfortable

so these two express kind of that level

of uncertainty and a bit of nervousness

this next one is i don't think that's a

good idea i don't

think that's a good idea so this is more

sharing your opinion but it also

communicates a little bit of nervousness

too

i don't think that's a good idea like

you want to leave the house now it's two

in the morning it's dangerous

i don't think that's a good idea so this

communicates your nervous feelings a bit

the next one is used for frustration and

for nervousness and this is very casual

the next expressions are very casual

it is i am so not into this i am

so not into this so maybe you know the

expression

i am into something like i'm into my

hobby like i'm into photography or i'm

into surfing

i am so not into this i'm so not into

this

shows you are not interested in this

situation you are not

interested in what is happening now so

this is a very

casual expression so is often extended

like i just said i'm so not into this so

maybe again you're in a group situation

and you disagree with the decision made

by the group like the group says

we're going to steal something from a

store you could say i am so not into

this like i'm leaving so this is very

casual

and we would use this in situations

where we we want to express

nervousness primarily first but

nervousness i'm sorry

frustration as well like if you are

again

having computer trouble for example and

you want to express

in a kind of casual and light way your

frustration

you're like frustrated with your

computer my computer won't turn on ah

i'm so not into this

you might hear that used as well so it

expresses frustration in kind of a

casual

light way so this next one actually is

kind of

similar i am so over this

i'm so over this this is more commonly

used for frustration

so i'm so not into this means i don't

like this i'm not interested in this

i'm so over this over means i've moved

past this i am ready to be finished with

this situation

i don't want to think about it anymore

if you imagine like a game over for ex

for example the expression game over

when the game is over

it's finished right so here i am

so over this that means i'm ready to be

finished with this situation i'm done

i'm walking away i'm going to the next

thing so

my computer won't turn on or there's

some other problem i could say

i'm so over this and walk away you might

also hear this at the end of an argument

as well so when someone is frustrated

in speaking to someone in an argument

you might say i'm so over this

like i'm done i'm finished with this

conversation

okay the next expression is very very

casual you can use it for

frustration or for nervousness it is oh

man or oh man you might also hear

so this can be used to express both

feelings so when you're very frustrated

again with the machine you could say

oh man my computer won't turn on that

helps to show that it's kind of a more

casual frustration not so serious

if you're feeling very nervous like

before a performance you might look out

like from behind the curtain and say

like oh man there are a lot of people

here

so you might hear this expression too we

don't use

woman here it's just oh man kind of a

set phrase oh man

the final example i have here for

frustration and for nervousness

i have a bunch of symbols here this is

how we commonly represent

curse words or swear words so

if we don't want to write the actual

word

we'll use a series of symbols the order

does not matter here i've just chosen

symbols at random

so i'm not going to introduce them on

this channel

but curse words and swear words are very

commonly used to express

frustration and sometimes nervousness

so it will take a little bit of personal

research to find some curse words and

swear words

that you maybe can use but please be

careful they are very casual very rough

and we should not use them in formal

polite business situations

in general we don't use curse words much

in public either

so we can use them very naturally for

frustration

again especially in like machine or

technical related problems

we might use a curse word quickly at our

home

to express our frustration and for

nervousness

we might as well use it but in less of a

strong voice

we might use kind of a scared voice or a

nervous voice

so please keep in mind with all of these

your intonation does matter

okay so this is a list of expressions

that you can use

to communicate your nervous and

frustrated feelings i hope that this is

helpful for you

想从第一节课开始说真正的英语

在

englishclass101.com 注册您的终身免费帐户大家好，我的名字是

本课中的艾丽西亚，我将谈论

可以用来表达

紧张和沮丧

的表达方式让我们开始吧'

我会注意到我要在

这里谈论的每个表达

我在表达旁边添加了一个 n 或一个 f

所以 n 意味着这个表达

通常用来表达紧张的

感觉所以

紧张的感觉或焦虑

的感觉 f 意思是

当你

感到愤怒沮丧的感觉时，它通常用于表达沮丧，

所以我们将看看其中的一些

让我们从这个开始，一个非常基本

的紧张表达我真的对话题很紧张

我真的对

我在括号中的东西感到紧张，

因为你可以删除它

以减少这个表达的强调，

所以我对某事感到紧张，或者我

真的对你可以做的某事感到紧张

说我很紧张或者

我很

紧张所有这些都

可以

，例如我对

我的本地速度的工作面试真的很紧张

这听起来就像

我对我的工作面试很紧张

所以我们跟随我真的很

紧张通常用名词短语这里的名词

短语我对我的工作面试真的很紧张

所以这是一个基本的紧张

短语你

可以使用让我们继续下一个我们

可以用这个来表示紧张

沮丧的表达是

我正在为

某事失眠，所以这个结束的

意思是，但我们并不总是使用我

正在失眠，我们通常说我正在

使用我正在为

某事失眠，我正在失眠

超过

名词短语 so to lost sleep

意味着无法入睡，所以想象一下

我应该有八个小时的睡眠，但

我很紧张或者我很沮丧，

我失去了两个小时的睡眠我

只睡了

六个小时，因为我是如此紧张或

因为我对这件事感到非常沮丧

我们

以进行时态使用它来表示这正在

我的生活中发生

我正在为某事失眠例如

我为上周

犯的错误而失眠我为上周犯的错误而失眠

所以在这种情况下

，上周犯的一个错误导致

说话者

以本机速度失眠这听起来

像我因为上周犯的错误而失眠，

所以我们可以将它用于

导致我们

如此紧张的事情或如此

沮丧以至于我们

难以入睡好吧让我们转到

下一个表达方式这通常

用于表达

沮丧它是某事

通常是名词短语这里

某事某事是或正在

取决于这是单数还是复数

名词让我发疯

让我发疯所以这让我

发疯

可以用在积极的情况下，比如

如果有一个你真的很

喜欢的人，你不能停止

想那个人，

你可以说哇他或她

让我发疯

，这是一种更积极的用法，

尽管

它以负面的

方式使用，但请记住，这是现在

时，这

是或现在，但您可以使用曾经或曾经

谈论过去

让您感到沮丧的事情例如，

我的同事快把我逼疯了，所以如果

你的同事做了一些

非常烦人的事情，或者如果你的同事

总是犯同样的错误，

你可以说我的同事快把我

逼疯了，所以那种声音

语气

传达你的沮丧，所以不是我的

同事让我发疯，而是

我的同事让我发疯，这

听起来很沮丧

另一个复数形式

和过去时的例子那些粗鲁的客户

让我发疯了那些粗鲁的

客户让我发疯所以这

可能是在零售情况或

购物情况下，

一些顾客刚才还在店里，

也许他们现在已经走了

当我们想用

它来表达

沮丧时，你会听到这种语调，好吧，让我们

继续下一个，

我不能停止思考某事，所以

这是我们可以用来

缓解紧张

和沮丧的东西如果你

愿意，

你可以用它来谈论积极的

事情，

就像我无法停止思考我的新

公寓

一样这一切在这里真的很重要

我不能停止思考一些事情

，例如，

我不能停止思考公司

裁员公司裁员所以公司

裁员

是一种公司情况，其中很多

人

失去工作，所以裁员是一种

情况

通常像预算或政策
