  Hi there.

• 00:10

  This is Harry.

• 00:11

  And welcome back to my podcast where I try to help you to get a better understanding of English so you can communicate in a better and more effective and efficient way.

• 00:20

  So, what do I have for you today in our podcast?

• 00:23

  Well, again, we're going to talk about emotions, but in this particular podcast, we're going to look at collocations about emotions.

• 00:32

  So I'll give you some expressions and see how you can use those.

• 00:37

  Okay, so collocations connected with emotions.

• 00:40

  First one, to hide their emotions.

• 00:43

  So people hide their emotions in many different ways.

• 00:47

  How do you hide your emotions?

• 00:50

  People just put on a brave face and smile and don't let people see how exactly they're feeling.

• 00:57

  So if they get bad news, they take a deep breath and they just smile and they walk away.

• 01:02

  So, to hide your emotions.

• 01:05

  Next, to be overcome with emotion.

• 01:07

  So this is quite the opposite.

• 01:09

  To be overcome with emotion is you cannot hide it and you're overcome, you just break down, you start sobbing or crying or screaming or there's some visible effect.

• 01:21

  So he was overcome with emotion when he heard the news of the passing of his favorite grandmother.

• 01:28

  He was overcome with emotion when his wife told him that she was leaving him.

• 01:33

  Okay, overcome with emotion, meaning you can no longer hide it and it comes out or breaks out in different ways, by crying, by screaming, by shouting, whatever it might be.

• 01:45

  We all show and reflect our emotions in different ways.
