  • Hello and welcome to 6 Minute English, I'm Neil.

  • And I'm Catherine, hello.

  • Hello, Catherine, I want to know what sort of things make you feel angry?

  • Many things make me feel angry, Neil,

  • but one thing that makes me regularly angry is when people put the wrong rubbish in the wrong bins.

  • Yes, that makes me angry too.

  • It's not very thoughtful, is it?

  • Not really, no.

  • So, you may feel angry about people putting rubbish in the wrong bin,

  • but do you get aggressive?

  • That's behaving in an angry way,

  • looking like you want to argue or even fight with someone.

  • No, I don't really get aggressive about wheelie bins, to be honest.

  • Well, I tend to control my anger too and keep calm,

  • but I have been known to react,

  • especially if someone's damaging some of my property.

  • Wow, really?

  • Yeah, I can't stand it.
