Words describing your reaction to the things around you are often neglected when learning a language, and yet they are the words which help to build relationships and connections with the people around you.
Below are a list of "feelings" words for you to experiment with. Your challenge is to choose 5 words which are unfamiliar to you and to put them into a sentence. I have given some examples below:
Feelings Words:
happy, sad, excited, elated, demoralised, despondent, nervous, proud, downhearted, embarrased, confused, empowered, cheerful, delighted, enchanted, content, jubilant, joyful, hurt, miserable, discontent, uncomfortable, annoyed, angry, troubled, tearful.

2. They felt empowered by their new skills and were sure they would now succeed.
3. It was a very uncomfortable situation - no one knew what to say to improve the atmosphere of mistrust.
