a specially trained clown
A. He was trained for this career.
B. His parents expected him to do it.
C. He liked the white coat and red nose.
D. When he was a kid, he felt frightened and bored in the hospital. Being a clown doctor means he can help people by entertaining them.
Scientific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better, which means clown doctors can be helpful. We are specially trained clowns who work as part of a programme known as “hospital clowning”. I chose this career becuse of my experience of going to hospital when I was a kid. Although the doctors and nurses did a great job, hospitals weren’t really designed for children. I spent much of the time when I was there feeling frightened and more than a lirtle bored! Being a clown doctor means I can help people by entertaining them.
What are the responsibilities of a clown doctor
Para.4
Visiting hospirals and other health care facilities, we clown doctors work together with medical professionals. On a typical day, we spend our time cheering up patients, their families, and more often than not, the hospital staff, too! We do this by doing magic tricks, singing songs, telling stories and, of coursce, telling silly jokes. Some children, though, don’t feel like laughing, especially if they’re in pain. We have to be very sensitive and work closely with the doctors and nurses, who keep us updated on each patient.

How does the clown doctor help the patient
Para.5
And my magic medicine does indeed seem to do the trick. While the doctor concentrates on examining Lara’s ankle, I get her attention by doing a magic trick. Although she is clearly still in some pain, her scared and anxious look has been replaced—first by a small smile, and then by loud laughter as I “magically” produce her sock from out of my pocket. Seeing their daughter so much happier has in turn made Lara’s parents more relaxed.

And as for me Well, when I take off my wig and my red nose, I’m still wearing a big smile, as I remember all the fun and laughter of the day. While there might be more hospital visits ahead for Lara and others, I hope that clown doctors help make it a friendlier place to visit. Afer all, it really is true that “laughter is the best medicine”.
How does Larry feel after a day’s work
He is still very happy and satisfied as he remembers all the fun and laughter of the day.
__________ is the best medicine.
Laughter
What is your understanding of the saying “laughter is the best medicine”
Please spread laughter to peolpe around you!
It doesn’t mean you should laugh instead of taking real medicine when you’re sick, but it reminds us that laughing has powerful effects on our body and mind. When you laugh, your brain releases chemicals called endorphins — these are like your body’s natural “feel-good” pills. They help reduce stress, ease pain, and make you feel happier. Laughing also relaxes your muscles, improves your mood, and can even strengthen your immune system to help you stay healthy. So, while laughter can’t cure everything, it’s like a helpful boost — free, fun, and available anytime!
Scentific studies show that laughter produces chemicals to make people feel better. Laughter also helps to promote a positive outlook on life. Both of them are important factors in healing and fighting diseases.
Would you like to work as a clown doctor
I’d like to, for I want to do something for those who are in pain and use my brand of humour to lessen their pain.
