Good morning and thank you for joining me today. The title of my speech today is “Why do we need humour ” I believe that all of us enjoy watching a comedy film or hearing a good joke, because it makes us laugh all the time. Babies laugh long before they can speak. It’s almost as if humour is hard-wired into us. So there must be some kind of benefit to it. What can humour do for us According to recent research, humour has both physical and psychological effects.

P110—4.4
Let’s talk about the physical effects. Firstly, laughter helps relieve tension. It relaxes the muscles in our body, and the effects can be felt for as long as 45 minutes after a good laugh. Also, a good laugh increases blood flow to the heart and improves the function of blood vessels, which helps protect us from heart disease. Finally, when we laugh, the level of stress chemicals in our body falls, and the number of immune cells in our body increases. Both mean that our body is better able to fight infection.

There is a song that says, “Smile, though your heart is breaking.” Does it mean there is a relation between smiling and mood The answer is YES. Humour also has psychological effects on our mind. Scientists have proved that there is a two-way effect between smiling and mood: when we’re happy, we naturally smile; and when we smile, even if we don’t feel like it, it can also make us feel happy.
Besides, when we incorporate humor as part of our life attitude, it can have far-reaching effects. What does “far-reaching effects” mean It means that it will have a great influence on how we live. We all know that if we are in a bad mood, we are likely to express negative attitudes and feelings; and this makes those around us down, too. But if we always try to be positive and funny, people will enjoy our company and feel energized by it.

Q&A
Elaborating with Examples
1. One of the example of this is that you can use humour to get people to laugh at you.
2. For instance, if you accidentally pour coffee all over yourself, you can laugh at yourself or make a joke about it.
3. You can say, for example, “My T-shirt also wants to have a cup of coffee.”
(M=Mike J=Jennifer)
P111---4.7
M: Hi, Jennifer.
J: Oh, hello, Mike. How was the party
M: It was great! But I really embarrassed myself.
J: Really What did you do
M: I kept on getting the host’s name wrong! When we got there, I introduced him to
someone as “Richard”. But his name is Cliff.
J: Oh dear! That’s awkward.
M: Very awkward. Then, right at the end of the party, I went to him and said—in front of
everybody—“Thanks for the wonderful party, Richard”. Everybody else got really quiet.
After a while, somebody whispered in my ear. “His name is Cliff, not Richard.” I felt so
embarrassed. I couldn’t stop blushing.
J: How did you handle the situation
M: I made a joke about myself and that helped solve all the embarrassments.
J: How clever! Tell me more about it.
M: Well, you know I’d recently read an article that introduced some ways to solve an
awkward situation. One example of this is that you can use humour to get people to
laugh at you. For instance, if you accidentally pour coffee all over yourself, you can
laugh at yourself or make a joke about it. You can say, for example, “My T-shirt also
wants to have a cup of coffee.” That way, other people can laugh too, without being rude
about laughing at someone else’s expense. Laughter is a great way to make people feel
comfortable in an awkward situation. So I just started laughing and said, “Oh dear, one
of these days I’m going to forget my own name!” Everybody laughed, even Richard—I
mean Cliff.
J: You’re so smart! Humour is really a great way to deal with an awkward situation.
