0:06 In this lesson we will learn the phrases that you can use to express your negative emotions to your friends and loved ones.
0:20 Gosh! My tooth has been killing me.
0:23 You might have a cavity. You should go to the dentist as soon as possible.
0:27 No way. I'm afraid of seeing the dentist. I always get a bad feeling. I try to avoid it like the plague.
0:34 Come on. Don't be a chicken! It won't be that bad!
0:39 I'm not a chicken! But I'll do anything to stay away from a dental clinic.
0:43 Even let the cavity eat your whole tooth?
0:47 Dentists scare me more than the cavity.
0:50 You can't be serious!
0:59 Hey, you look very upset. What's going on?
1:02 I'm anxious about the final exams. I don't know if I can pass them.
1:07 Aren't you studying?
1:09 I am! But I don't take exams well. I always panic.
1:13 Well, don't worry too much. You still have three days ahead.
1:17 Yeah, but three days aren't enough to cover the entire syllabus. These days will be gone in the blink of an eye.
1:24 I think the best thing to do now is try to remain calm.
1:34 What's happening between your girlfriend and you? You guys fight all the time these days.
1:39 What are you saying?
1:41 Well, the whole office is talking about it. Why do you fight in public places?
1:47 I can't stand her anymore. She's a crazy woman. Even a bit of friendly advice sets her off.
1:53 So, what did you tell her?
1:56 I told her she had to stay away from the new assistant manager. He's not a nice guy to hang around with.
2:02 She thought I was being jealous of her friendship with him. Can you believe that?!
2:06 Well, I can. You do sound a bit jealous.
2:11 And you sound like her!
2:18 Why were you oddly looking at him while he was talking?
2:23 Well, I'm sure he lied to me about last night. I was trying to read his face.
2:28 Why do you say that?
2:30 He wasn't looking at me while talking. I'm sure he was hiding something.
2:35 Well, you shouldn't be so suspicious of people. Just relax and stop thinking that there's always something wrong!
2:44 Perhaps you're right. Maybe I think too much about things.
2:51 No way. I'm afraid of seeing the dentist.
2:58 I always get a bad feeling. I try to avoid it like the plague.
3:08 Dentists scare me more than the cavity.
3:16 I'm anxious about the final exams.
3:25 But I don't take exams well. I always panic.
3:35 I can't stand her anymore.
3:40 Even a bit of friendly advice sets her off. Can you believe that?!
3:53 He wasn't looking at me while talking. I'm sure he was hiding something.
