Mixed feelings. I

Sometimes people ask you 'How do you feel?'. Here are ten feelings that people often have. You can use one of them to answer the question.

1. happy / contented / delighted: In 1, most people want to be happy in their lives. We are contented when the situation in our lives is good enough and we are delighted when something very good happens.
2. sad / depressed: sad is the opposite emotion to happy. People often cry when they are very sad. When people are depressed they feel sad about their lives for a long time. They don't think it will get better.
3. amused: we are amused when we see or hear something that is funny. Sometimes we laugh.
4. excited: we are excited when something good or interesting has happened or will happen soon. Excited people often have a lot of energy and can't stop moving.
5. frightened / afraid / terrified: we are frightened / afraid when we know that we are in a dangerous situation. Terrified is a stronger word.
