 　　Daniel: Hey, Vella, how are you?

 

　　Vella: I'm good. How are you?

 

　　Daniel: I'm fine thanks. Is there, like do you remember any time where you've been really sad or angry or embarrassed?

 

　　Vella: Yeah. Actually it happened before I came here. I had a huge fight with my father, dad, and yeah we had a disagreement about something and I, well I had a disagreement with my aunt which is my dad's sister and my dad just kind of took her side instead of my side and I was really disappointed in him and I lost my temper¹ and I started hitting the window and it kind of broke and my dad was...

 

　　Daniel: Wait a minute. You broke the window because you were angry?

 

　　Vella: I did.

 

　　Daniel: OK.

 

　　Vella: I really lost my, you know, control and my dad he started crying and, you know, seeing him cry was really, you know, painful.

 

　　Daniel: Wow. I didn't know you were that kind of person that could break a window.

 

　　Vella: You know when I lose my temper, I tend to do, you know, things that are out of control but yeah.

 

　　Daniel: But what was the whole argument about? Do you think it would have that result like where you break a window because of an argument with your dad?

 

　　Vella: Well, I think it was just because I was really disappointed that he took, you know, my aunt's side instead of my side.

 

　　Daniel: Hm, hm.

 

　　Vella: And he was saying stuff² like, you know, it's all my fault and, you know, he was really disappointed in me so I was really sad that he said that and, yeah, I lost my temper and started hitting.

 

　　Daniel: OK, how about being embarrassed? Do you remember any time where you were really embarrassed?

 

　　Vella: Yeah, I think in high school. So there's this guy I have a huge crush³ on and I was walking down the stairs and, you know, he saw me and, you know, I was acting⁴ like awkwardly⁵ and there was a big plant in front of me and I didn't see it because I was, you know, too busy looking at him and I kind of tripped over and it was really embarrassing⁶ and everyone was laughing and that guy, you know, saw me.

 

　　Daniel: That's the worse thing.

 

　　Vella: Falling like in front of your crush, I think that will be really embarrassing.

 

　　Daniel: OK, what did you do afterwards?

 

　　Vella: Well I just acted cool, you know, and said I'm fine and just left.

 

　　Daniel: Wow, that must be really difficult?

 

　　Vella: Because I was trying to, you know, look pretty as I walked down the stairs and I didn't see the plant in front of me.

 

　　Daniel: So after that did you ever get that guy to like you?

 

　　Vella: Well actually he, you know, he came up to me and he was asking if I was OK and we ended up exchanging numbers.

 

　　Daniel: So that was a success?

 

　　Vella: Yeah, it was a success.

 

　　Daniel: OK, that's pretty good.
