Expressing Anger in English



I found these expressions to convey anger in English and thought they could come up handy for an exercise for upper intermediate students. First, have your students go to your blog and read the expressions. Then post a list of possible situations that could push their buttons and ask them to find the correct expression that matches their feeling about the situation. For instance:

I.e: Imagine the situation: Someone is chewing with his/her mouth open next to you making loud noises. How would you feel?
Answer: I would be pissed.
Situations:
1.- You meet someone and that person starts telling you every detail of his/her life immediately.
2.- Someone makes screeching sounds on a board.
3.- Someone boring invites you to dinner at his/her house and you cannot decline the invitation.
4.- You have worked on a paper for a while then the power goes off and you lose all the information.
5.- Finally, you get to go to the beach and it rains.
6.- Losing your salary on a bet.
7.- Not being able to turn in your homework on time.
8.- Getting an uneven haircut.
9.- Not being able to remember phrasal verbs.
10.- Going out of the house and leaving the keys inside.
