I honestly can't remember feeling so worried about anything in my life before.

You must be relieved to get it over with.

If I'd failed again, I think I'd have just given up.

Look at six words to describe feelings which you heard in the dialogue.

First, a question: three of these words relate to feeling *fear*.

'Nervous', 'worried' and 'scared' are all feelings of fear.

'Nervous' and 'worried' are both low-level fear.

The first word has a general meaning, and the second describes your reaction to something

You feel relieved when you're free from pressure or stress.

If you have a problem, and the problem is solved, you might feel relieved.

Or, if you have an exam, and you think you might fail, you'll feel relieved when you

There are six words relating to emotions in the dialogue.

I dread going in every morning, and every day feels like an eternity.

But, a couple of months ago you said things were going OK?

Working in the fashion industry was always my dream, and I worked so hard to get an opportunity.

I'm supposed to be an event manager, but they don't actually let me make any decisions.

We had a team meeting last week, and they asked me to go out and get coffee!
