1. What does humour mean Is humour always kind What’s behind fun
Not all humour is kind. Although we also laugh when we see someone slide on a banana skin, it’s really dangerous to those who slide on the banana skin, especially to those old people. So when we think about it we will find it’s not funny.
Act out(表演) a situation by using nonverbal humour
in a hurry
slide on a banana skin
bump into someone else round a corner
carry a heavy box
……
Situations:
Laughing is better than medicine.
Today we have learned something about humour. Humour is everywhere in our daily life. I hope you can be optimistic(乐观的) no matter what difficulties you meet with, just as Charlie Chaplin was.
Life is humourous,
enjoy it.
