What feelings are showed in the following pictures
excited
upset
happy
sad
We can use idioms to describe feelings too!
Look and say
positive
negative
An idiom is a phrase with a special meaning that is different from the words themselves.(习语是一种短语，它的整体意思不能从单个单词的字面意思来推断。它有一个特殊且固定的含义，是说这种语言的人所熟知的。)
例：“feel blue” doesn’t mean “feel the color blue” — it means “feel sad”.
Using idioms makes your language more vivid, interesting, and expressive.

Although it is normal to get mad at others from time to time, we should always try our best to control our anger instead of expressing it in bad

things to them. After all, anger is like a fire. It can make you hurt others
or yourself! Luckily, there are a few simple things you can do to stay
calm. For example, try taking a deep breath. That gives you an opportunity to calm down and become a little less angry. You can also take a walk, go for a run, or write about your feelings. Getting angry is normal, but what you choose to do with your anger is up to you!
