Read the passage and answer the question that follow.
1. There are a few simple tricks that professional comedians employ which can improve your joke-telling. Some people say it is a natural talent and others believe practice makes perfect. The real reason why some people are funny is probably a combination of things and there is research that suggests if you get just one thing wrong your joke will either go unnoticed or just won’t be very funny. 2. A former full-time comedian who now teaches comedy at a university in England and has written the book about how best to tell jokes. He says you need to know what your audience might find funny. He also suggests that getting your timing right is crucial. You shouldn’t tell a joke when everyone is putting their food order in at a restaurant, for example. They will be busy thinking about other things. Pick a time that will have the most impact. 3. It has also been shown that jokes are sometimes funnier if you rehearse them. By practising the joke to yourself or others, you can often improve it. You should also know where your joke’s going. Don’t get lost in the detail and forget the punch line. Finally, if you are going to say something that’s only moderately funny, make sure it is short. It’s painful listening to joke that’s ten minutes long when the punch line could have been said after a minute. 4. It takes a bit of work to get people laughing. This is true most of the time, but sometimes when something funny happens a few words can make for raucous laughter amongst your group. Being a happy sort of person who likes to laugh and enjoys entertaining others is often enough because if you’re happy you’re more likely to see the funny side in any situation. That being said some of the funniest comedians are not the happiest – they just know how to make people laugh.

(1) We all have dreams of having more and longer holidays, getting a better job, being fitter or living in a wealthier place. The World Health Organisation defines Quality of Life as a person’s view of how well they live in the society they live in. And how they view of their goals and concerns. It is a complicated definition, but it basically asks the question of how happy we feel about our past, present and future. If we feel good about these things, then we more than likely have a good quality of life. This doesn’t mean we don’t want things to change because of course we do. (2) We need to be in relatively good health to be able to study and to participate actively in society. The state of our health can be influenced by factors we cannot always control such as living in a poor neighbourhood, a place with bad weather conditions, or a country in which certain people lack the ability to better themselves. The importance of the climate, the environment and the economic situation of a country are of great importance and play a major role in improving the quality of life. (3) So, if we are unable to feel happy there are several simple things we can put into practice to improve the way we live and feel. These can be various such as, immersing oneself in a passion like art or music, doing a sport to keep fit and healthy, granting ourselves small pleasures like a game of football or a stroll in the forest, reorganising our house, and of course spending time with our family and friends through leisure time and holidays. (4) When asked, the majority of people who don’t live around their family rated spending time with their loved ones as one of their highest priorities. Being able to be amongst family is certainly a key factor in our happiness, but why? Perhaps it is because people in general need to feel loved, secure, nurtured and trusted and in general these emotions are most prevalent amongst family. Family and being able to see and be around them is another example of what makes humans happy so it seems like the WHO definition could change to include the ideas just mentioned.
