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.
