Lesson video

Hi everybody, it's Ms. Gardner.

Welcome to your next vocabulary lesson.

In today's lesson, we are going to be learning vocabulary associated with feeling bad.

So we'll be looking at in detail a range of vocabulary that we can use to describe negative emotions.

Some of them you might have used before, but I'm sure some of them might be new to you as well, which is great 'cause this means it's just more vocabulary that we can include in our writing.

So, let's get started with today's lesson.

Your learning outcome for today's lesson is to effectively use the words deflated, envious, and other rich vocabulary associated with feeling bad.

Let's start by looking at the key words.

We'll do my turn, your turn.

Noun.

A noun is a naming word for a person, place, or thing.

Adjective.

An adjective is a word that describes a noun.

Synonym.

That is a word that has the same or similar meaning to another word.

Word pair.

That is words that often appear together.

So there are three learning cycles in our lesson today.

In the first, we'll be learning our first new feeling bad word, then we'll be learning our second new feeling bad word.

And then in the third learning cycle, we'll be learning four new feeling bad words.

So let's start with our first new feeling bad word.

Before I tell you what word is we are looking at first, I want you to have a really close look at the picture that's on the screen.

What is happening in this picture? What do you think Grit is feeling? How does he seem? In a moment, you can pause the video, and discuss this with your partner or with your class or whoever you're with, or you can just have a think about it by yourself.

So, pause the video now, and off you go.

Okay, so in this picture, Grit seems really sad, doesn't he? He looks really unhappy.

He also looks like he's wearing a basketball kit.

And you can see there that his basketball has lost all of its air.

It's lying completely flat on the ground.

So he's not able to play.

So that's quite a big clue for you there, the fact that there's no air in the basketball.

The word for this picture is deflated.

My turn, your turn.

Deflated.

Deflated is an adjective, and it means feeling hopeless or let down, when you feel sad and empty, like a ball with the air let out.

So if you're feeling deflated, you've got not much energy left in you, you just feel really sad and kind of empty.

It does have other meanings though, because we can also use it to describe an item like a ball or a tire or a balloon that has lost all air or gas.

So you could describe that basketball in the picture as deflated.

So, the word deflated can describe Grit in this picture 'cause he looks really sad and hopeless.

But also you can use the word deflated to describe the ball, the basketball, because it has no air in it, it's been deflated.

So, we're going to be focusing on the synonyms of deflated as an emotion.

So these words are synonyms of deflated.

My turn, your turn.

Saddened, let down, feeling hopeless.

Let's have a look at it in a sentence.

Grit was deflated by the score in the basketball game as he was sure they were going to win.

So he's really saddened by the score.

He feels really let down, maybe by his team, or he feels like he let down his teammates, but he's feeling pretty deflated.

These words are word pairs of deflated.

And this is for both using it as an emotion to describe someone if they're feeling sad, but also when you're describing an object that has lost to all its air.

I'm going to read out the words first, and then we'll pause the video and you can have a go at saying the word pairs because we know that saying things out loud is a really good way to help us remember them.

Deflated tyre, deflated balloon, deflated ball.

So these are all objects that have lost the air.

Deflated mood.

If you're in a deflated mood, you just feel really sad, a bit hopeless.

Deflated ego.

Your ego is kind of the way you see yourself.

So if you've got a deflated ego, you're not feeling very positive about yourself right now.

And deflated expectations.

Maybe Grit had really high expectations about the basketball game.

He thought they were gonna win.

And then when they lost, he had really deflated expectations.

So now, pause the video, and off you go saying these word pairs out loud.

Okay, just checking for understanding.

Which of these words is a synonym of deflated? A, saddened, B, mood, or C, ball? Pause the video now.

The synonym is A, saddened.

B and C are both word pairs.

Well done.

So it's time for Task A, and you need to fill in the first word map for today's lesson.

You can see the word deflated is in the middle of the word mat, and then you have lots of different words around it.

The first thing you need to do is circle the synonyms. So words which have a similar meaning to deflated.

Then you need to draw lines to the word pairs.

Remember, there are a couple of tricks you can use to help you with this.

To find the synonyms, try and cover the word in the sentence.

Grit was hmm by the score in the basketball game as he was sure they were going to win.

Then, replace the missing word with one of the words from the word mat.

If the word makes sense in the sentence and the sentence makes sense, then most likely it is a synonym.

To check if the words are word pairs, have a go at saying deflated next to it, alongside the word.

And if it makes sense and you think, "Yes, I could use that in a sentence, these word pairs in a sentence," then it probably is a word pair.

So, pause video now and off you go, circling the synonyms and drawing lines to the word pairs.

Okay, well done.

Our synonyms for deflated are feeling hopeless, let down and saddened.

And then our word pairs: deflated mood, deflated tyre, deflated ball, deflated balloon, deflated ego, and deflated expectations.

Great job.

It's now time for the second part of our lesson where we are learning our second new feeling bad word.

Again, I'm not going to tell you what the word is just yet.

I want you to have a really close look at this picture and think about what you can see.

What are the characters doing? How do they seem? Grit looks.

How does Grit look? How does Armie look? Pause video now and discuss this with your partner, the class, whoever you're with, or just have a think by yourself.

Off you go.

Okay, so what can we see in this picture? I can see Grit does not look happy, does he? He's peering over the bush into his neighbor's garden and he can see Armie has got a really shiny, clean new car.

Grit's car is broken.

You can see it's cracked.

It's not very clean, it looks ruined, doesn't it? So how do you think Grit feels about Armie's car and Armie's situation? That's my clue for you.

So, we'll do my turn, your turn.

The word for this picture is envious.

Envious.

Envious is another adjective, and it means feeling jealous or resentful.

When you want something that somebody else has.

So I think in this picture we can describe Grit as envious.

He wants to have Armie's super smart new car, doesn't he? So these words are synonyms of envious.

Jealous, my turn, your turn.

Jealous, green-eyed.

We call someone green-eyed, they don't actually have green-eyed, but it's just a way of saying that they are really jealous.

It comes from old English, actually from Shakespeare time where people who were described as being, having green eyes, were jealous people.

And then finally, resentful.

If you're resentful, you resent somebody else and what they have.

Let's see the word envious in a sentence.

Grit peered at Armie's shiny, new car with an envious look in his eyes.

These words are word pairs of envious.

I'm going to read them out loud first, and then you'll have a go at reading them out too.

Envious glance, so the way you look at someone with an envious glance.

Envious eyes, an envious neighbor.

We can describe Grit in this picture as the envious neighbor.

An envious sibling.

So a brother or a sister who's jealous or envious of what their brother or sister has.

An envious look.

If you give an envious look, you're showing that you're jealous.

And then the envious rival.

Rivals are people who are always fighting against each other.

And they can often be envious of what the other person has.

So, to check for understanding, which of these is a synonym of envious? A, neighbor, B, jealous, or C, curious? Pause the video now.

That's right, the synonym is jealous, B.

Well done.

So, it's time for the first part of Task B.

Again, you'll need to circle the synonyms on the word mat, and then draw lines to the word pair.

You can use this sentence to help you.

Grit peered at Armie's shiny, new car with an envious look in his eye.

If you can, replace the word envious in the sentence with another word and it still makes sense, it's probably a synonym, not a word pair.

But it doesn't always work that way because language is so nuanced, but often, that is the case, if you can replace it, it's a synonym.

If you can replace the word in a sentence with a word and the sentence still makes sense, they're probably synonyms. So, pause the video now, and off you go completing this word mat.

Okay, well done.

So, here are the synonyms of envious.

Resentful, green-eyed and jealous.

And then the word pairs, envious eyes, envious glance, envious look, envious rival, envious sibling and envious neighbor.

Great job.

Now, we're going to write a sentence, and we're going to use either the word deflated or envious.

You can use the word pairs to help you.

So first, you'll choose the word you're going to use, either deflated or envious, and then you can choose which word pair.

So for example, you could say the balloon was deflated.

However, I want you to be a bit more ambitious.

Maybe you could make it a complex sentence and add extra detail.

The balloon was deflated.

Why? The balloon was deflated because the children had played with it too aggressively.

So you've got an adverb in there, and we've described why the balloon was deflated.

So try to be as ambitious as you can with your sentence today.

Pause the video now, and off you go.

Well done, everybody.

I hope you enjoyed writing your sentence.

Let's have a look at mine.

Did I use envious correctly? Brick cast an envious glance over at Grit's mouthwatering steak.

Glance was the word pair, an envious glance.

So yes, I did use it correctly in this sentence, but I'm going to improve it now and make it a little bit more ambitious.

Grit was munching on a mouthwatering steak as Brick cast an envious glance from the neighboring table.

So here, I've now got a complex sentence.

I've explained why Brick was envious, because Grit was munching on this mouthwatering steak.

I've also explained where he was looking from, where he gave the envious glance from, from over the neighboring table.

So now pause the video, read back through your sentence and think about how effective it is in using either deflated or envious.

Pause the video now.

Well done, everybody.

Great job.

We're now going to learn our final four feeling bad words.

Have a look at these pictures.

Can you predict what each word may be? I'm going to talk through what's happening in each picture, and as I'm doing that, you can be thinking about which word you think it could be.

So, in the first picture, Yin has pulled down Yang's trousers, and she looks really not happy about it, does she? She looks really embarrassed, really shocked that it's happening.

She doesn't feel good about it, does she? And you wouldn't feel good about that because it's not a very nice thing to do to somebody, is it? Then in the next picture, you can see Oz is looking all very upset because she's realized that she's parked her car in a really silly place.

You can see what's covered on the car because she left it right under the bird's nest.

Then in the third picture, Armie doesn't look very happy, does he? Oz is strutting past him, got her hand like this, not giving him any attention.

He's offering her some donuts, she's not interested.

So how do you think Armie might feel? Then in the final picture, Brick has dropped his ice-cream.

He looks pretty upset about that.

I think I'd be very upset if I dropped my new ice-cream.

How can we describe Brick in this picture? So, pause the video now, and discuss with your partner, whoever you're with, what you predict the words might be.

Okay, so let's go through these.

We'll do my turn, your turn.

Our first word, humiliated.

Humiliated.

That is an adjective, which means ashamed or embarrassed.

How you feel if someone pulls down your trousers as a joke.

The next word, regretful.

Regretful.

That's an adjective, which means wishing you had done things differently.

Like someone who parked under the wrong tree.

Then the third picture, snubbed.

Snubbed.

That's an adjective which means ignored or rejected.

How you feel if someone rudely ignores you.

And then finally, disheartened.

Disheartened.

That's an adjective, which means sad, crushed, disappointed, the feeling you might have after you dropped your ice-cream.

So, checking for understanding.

Match the adjective to the correct image.

Pause the video now.

Okay, so our first word was disheartened, and that was the picture of Brick dropping the ice-cream.

Then, humiliated.

That was how Yang felt when Yin was pulling down her trousers 'cause that wasn't a very nice thing to do.

She's really embarrassed.

Regretful.

Oz is full of regret, and wishing she hadn't parked the car where she had.

So she's regretful.

And then snubbed.

Armie feels snubbed 'cause he's offering Oz some biscuits and Oz just ignores him and walks away.

Really well done.

So, it's time for Task C.

Here is the snubbed word mat.

You need to circle the synonyms and draw lines to the word pairs.

This is a little bit trickier than the first two word mats from this lesson because we haven't already gone through the synonyms and the word pairs.

So you're going to have to use the picture, the definition, and the sentence to help you work out which is a synonym and which is a word pair.

Remember, synonyms have similar meaning, so they're also going to be the same word class.

So that's a good clue for you.

Snubbed is an adjective.

Try and find the other adjectives for the synonyms. Here's your sentence.

Armie felt snubbed as Oz rudely refused his offering of biscuits.

Pause the video now, and off you go.

Well done, everybody, let's go through.

So, snubbed synonyms are ignored, rejected or insulted.

And then, word pairs.

Snubbed actor.

An actor might feel snubbed if he went for an audition and then didn't get the job, the role.

A snubbed expression on your face.

Maybe if you're feeling snubbed, you're feeling quite disappointed and that would show on your face.

Feeling snubbed or a snubbed feeling.

Snubbed people, the people who were rejected or ignored.

The snubbed child.

The child might feel snubbed if he wanted to join in with a game with the other children and they didn't let him play.

And then the snubbed player.

For example, in a football game, the whole team can't play and some have to be left on the bench, don't they, for some of the game, and they might feel a little bit snubbed.

Well done.

Now we need to complete the word mat for the word regretful.

Remember, you can use the picture to help you, the definition to help you, and also the sentence.

Can you replace the word regretful with another word? And if the sentence still makes sense, then it's probably a synonym.

Oz let out a regretful sigh when she realized she had parked in a silly place.

Pause video now, and off you go circling the synonyms and drawing lines to the word pairs.

Okay, well done.

So synonyms of regretful, rueful, apologetic, remorseful, full of remorse or full of regret.

And then the word pairs, a regretful tone.

So the way you speak, you have a regretful tone in your voice.

Maybe when you're apologizing to somebody, you might say it in a regretful tone.

A regretful sigh.

The noise you make (exhales sharply) when you regret doing something.

A regretful look, you might look regretful, you look like a little bit ashamed, maybe.

A regretful smile.

Not a huge beaming smile, but a regretful smile is just maybe a small one where you're feeling a little bit like you regret what you've done.

And then a regretful feeling, when you feel regretful, you regret what you've done.

Well done.

Okay, it's time to fill in the word mat now for the word humiliated.

You'll just like last time, have to circle the synonyms and draw lines to the word pairs.

And you can use the picture, the definition and the sentence to help you.

Remember, synonyms are also the same word class.

Humiliated is an adjective, so the other synonyms must also be an adjective.

Here's your sentence to help you.

Yin humiliated her classmate by pulling down her trousers in front of everyone.

Pause video now, and off you go.

Well done.

So, the synonyms for humiliated are ashamed, mortified, embarrassed.

And then the word pairs, opponent, the humiliated opponent, someone you're playing against has lost really badly so they feel humiliated.

The humiliated candidate, someone who's applying for a job maybe, didn't get through, felt really humiliated.

The humiliated classmate that's in the picture there, Yin humiliated her classmate.

The humiliated team, again, a bit like an opponent, the team were humiliated that they lost really badly in a match.

And then the humiliated contestant, someone who took part in a game show maybe, got out first round, they felt humiliated.

Well done.

Okay, now, we're filling in the word mat for the word disheartened.

You can use the picture to help you and the definition, and then this sentence.

The disheartened hippo left the beach the moment he dropped his ice-cream.

So, circling the synonyms and drawing lines to the word pairs.

Pause the video now.

Okay, well done, let's go through these.

So synonyms for disheartened were disappointed, sad, and crushed.

And then the word pairs.

Disheartened expression on their face.

They looked disheartened, looked disappointed.

In a disheartened voice they spoke.

The disheartened team.

They'd worked really hard, practiced and trained all week, and then they still didn't do very well in the game? They felt really disheartened.

There was a disheartened silence as the fans watched their team lose really badly.

There was nothing really to say, so they just sat in a disheartened silence.

The disheartened fans watching the team.

And then the disheartened child, maybe the disheartened child dropped his ice-cream.

Well done.

Okay, it's time for the final task in today's lesson.

You need to fill the gaps with either the word deflated, envious, regretful, snubbed, humiliated or disheartened.

I'm going to read the sentences out loud now, and as I'm reading, you can be thinking about which word could be the most precise and effective in completing the sentence.

After losing out on first place, Oz was in a hmm mood.

The fans were hmm by having to watch their team lose again.

Bearnice kept eating her giant pizza despite the hmm glance from the hungry dog.

The hmm contestant held his head in his hands when he lost the quiz.

Brick had a hmm look on his face when he realized he'd finished all the biscuits in the tin.

And the hmm actor left the audition room in disappointment.

If you want to, you can absolutely use the word mats from the previous part of the lesson to help you with this, especially looking at the word pairs.

So pause the video now, and off you go.

Good luck.

Great job, everybody.

Well done.

Let's go through these.

After losing out on first place, Oz was in a deflated mood.

The fans were disheartened by having to watch their team lose again.

Bearnice kept eating her giant pizza despite the envious glance from the hungry dog.

The humiliated contestant held his head in his hands when he lost the quiz.

Brick had a regretful look on his face when he realized he'd finished all the biscuits in the tin.

And the snubbed actor left the audition room in disappointment.

Some of these are very close in meaning, so don't worry at all if you got a little bit confused.

As I said, lots of them are very similar.

But really, really well done in today's lesson, everybody.

Great job.

Here's a summary of everything we've learned.

Deflated is an adjective, which means feeling hopeless or let down.

When you feel sad and empty, like a ball with all the air let out.

Envious means jealous or resentful, when you want something that someone else has.

Humiliated is also an adjective which means ashamed and embarrassed, how you feel if someone pulls down your trousers as a joke.

Regretful is an adjective, which means wishing you had done things differently, like someone who parked under the wrong tree.

Snubbed is an adjective, which means ignored or rejected.

How you feel if someone rudely ignores you.

And then disheartened is an adjective which means sad, crushed, or disappointed.

How you feel after dropping your ice cream.

Great job today, everybody.

Well done.
