Talking about lessons.
Today's lesson is an advanced english lesson looking at collocations to describe positive emotions and feelings.
So, positive emotions and feelings.
We've got eight of these collocations, so I'll go through them with you and I'll give you a situation when you might use them.
Okay, let's get started.
So, number one, to have a great sense of achievement.
Well, when we have a sense of achievement or a great sense of achievement, it's usually when we've done something successful, something that was probably difficult, something that we probably thought we would struggle at, or indeed that we might not even complete at all.
So a great sense of achievement can be when you complete the marathon, if it's your first marathon, even when you look back, back six or eight months ago, when you started training, it was a long, long time, and you had to build up slowly and you went through some pain, perhaps you had a little bit of an injury or something like that.
And then when the day finally comes, you start the race, you get through the halfway mark, you get past that famous wall that people hit from time to time, and then you cross the line and you've achieved a reasonable time that you're happy with.
So you have a great sense of achievement.
Okay, so this is a prime example of when you might use that, a great sense of achievement.
So if you're writing a note to your friends and they're asking you, well, how did you feel when you completed the race?
Oh, there was a great sense of achievement.
