Writing:

When we watch TV, either Charlie Choplin or Jim Carey's performance will make us burst into laughter. Why do people like to watch such programs? That's because they're full of humour, which is a kind of intelligence and a spice that can make our life colorful. Humour is another way to think of life. It will lead us to realize the beauty of life, and help to keep good mind, which is of course good for our health, both mental and physical. In order to develop the sense of humour,we should have a widely-opened mind and try to be more generous. One should also improve the ability to deal with those unhappy things. Only in these ways can we truly feel the magic power of humour.
