Anger, fears (films, needles, thunder, spiders, deep water, the news, getting lost) and boredom, sentence 1
What matters is what you do with the feeling: anger can be said calmly in words, and fear grows smaller when you talk about it, learn the facts and have a plan.
Who acts: you, fear · What happens: matter, be, do, say, grow, talk · To what, where: anger, words, facts, plan · Speech: someone speaks here
