In the programme we explore the differences between the words 'shocked' and 'staggered'.
Although they can mean similar things, there are differences.
For example, look at these two sentences:
I was shocked when I heard that my boss had quit his job.
I was staggered when I heard that my boss had quit his job.
Do you know the difference in meaning?
Listen to the programme to find out.
