✨ What the students practise

Each page works the same way, and that repetition is the point: the structure feeling + because + reason is met twenty times in a row, in ten different situations per worksheet. The matching task builds comprehension, and the « Your turn » part turns it into production: two true or imaginary sentences, written by the student.

1 📖 Read A

Read the ten beginnings: « I’m happy because… », « I feel tired because… ».

2 🔍 Read B

Read the ten endings, each illustrated: a spider, a suitcase, a test, a phone…

3 🔗 Match

Write the letter of the best ending in each gap. Every letter is used once.

4 ✍️ Write

Part C: two true or imaginary sentences with a feeling and a reason.

😊 Worksheet 1 · Happy, sad, afraid: the first ten feelings

The ten basic emotions of everyday life: happy, sad, afraid, lonely, disappointed, worried, confused, hurt, excited, bored. The endings in part B are short and concrete (a spider next to me, a test tomorrow, a best friend who moved away), so the matching stays accessible even at A1.

🅰️ Part A · How do you feel?

Ten beginnings to complete: « I’m happy because… », « I feel lonely because… », « I’m bored because… ».

🅱️ Part B · What happened

Ten illustrated endings to match: the spider, the suitcase, the A+ test, the clock, the theatre masks…

✍️ Part C · Your turn

Two sentences to write, true or imaginary: « I feel … because … ». The structure becomes personal.

1I’m happy because…😊
2I’m sad because…😢
3I’m afraid because…😨
4I feel lonely because…🥺
5I’m disappointed because…😞
6I’m worried because…😟
7I’m confused because…😵
8I feel hurt because…😖
9I’m excited because…🤩
10I’m bored because…😐
💡 Grammar point: the page mixes I’m and I feel on purpose: happy, sad, afraid take « be », while lonely, hurt, confused often take « feel ». Students see the difference in context, without a grammar table.

🥱 Worksheet 2 · Tired, guilty, surprised: ten more feelings

The second page goes one step further: tired, guilty, surprised, over the moon, angry, pleased, feeling down, relaxed, shocked, frustrated. Two idioms come with a word help box: over the moon means very happy, and feeling down means feeling sad. The endings are slightly longer (someone took my phone without asking, my computer still won’t save my work), which makes this page a real A2 step after worksheet 1.

🅰️ Part A · How do you feel?

Ten new beginnings, numbered 01 to 10, including the two idioms over the moon and feeling down.

🅱️ Part B · What happened

Ten illustrated situations: the peaceful walk, the dream trip, the praised A+ work, the 4-hour night…

✍️ Part C · Your turn

Two more personal sentences, with the twenty feelings now available to choose from.

01I feel tired because…🥱
02I feel guilty because…😔
03I’m surprised because…😲
04I’m over the moon because…🤩
05I’m angry because…😠
06I’m pleased because…😌
07I’m feeling down because…😞
08I feel relaxed because…😊
09I’m shocked because…😱
10I’m frustrated because…😤
️ Speaking extension: after the matching, go around the class with one question: « How do you feel today? Why? » Every student answers with a full because-sentence, and the twenty feelings become a real conversation tool.

🎯 Recommended level, and more personal writing

💡 Best fit: A1-A2 ESL classes, around grades 4 to 7. Worksheet 1 first, worksheet 2 one or two sessions later: the structure is already known, only the vocabulary changes. The theme also works well around a wellbeing or anti-bullying week, since naming feelings is the first step to talking about them. More vocabulary and writing worksheets live in the English category.
