1 How important do you think clown doctors are

Think & share

I agree with it because laughter not only helps to protect you from the damaging effects of stress or pain, but also helps to improve your health by strengthening your immune system.
3 Would you like to work as a clown doctor Why or why not
4 How does the diagram in Activity 5 help you to better understand the passage
