Some are neutral, and many are informal. I'll go back to the page and indicate which are informal to make them easier to use.

I'm not sure that memorisation is a good idea. It's better to choose one or two words / phrases that you want to learn. Make example sentences with them, and try to practise as much as possible. Then, when you feel comfortable with those words / phrases, try to actively learn two more.

1. I wouldn't use this expression – it sounds old-fashioned to me. Instead, I'd use "I'm out of sorts today".
2. OK
3. Both are fine. Bad temper suggests anger, while bad mood just suggests you're not particularly happy.
4. First part is fine, but "outraged" sounds strange.
" my friend's father always treats her wrongly&harshly and stops her going outside, but she always manages to contact me"
