Community College - 寒假

Dear All,
這是我們寒假會上的課的型式,一篇文章加上問題討論。一堂課可以上兩篇左右。


Topic – Happiness Speaks Up

Reading-

Do you have any friends who talk too much? Maybe they’re just very happy. Scientists at the University of Arizona have discovered that happy people talk more. People in their study wore special recorders for four days. Every twelve minutes, the devices recorded thirty seconds of sounds, which included conversations. These same people also took tests to show their happiness level. Scientists were excited by the results.
The university study showed that the happiest people chatted about seventy percent more than the least happy people. They also skipped small talk and went right to meaningful conversation. In addition, scientists discovered that happier people spend less time alone than unhappy people.
The scientists now want to use this information to help unhappy people. They think that more meaningful conversations will cheer people up. Unhappy people may also benefit from being around more people. If you’re feeling down, discuss this interesting study with lots of other people. It may turn your frown upside down.

Question Discussion
1. Do you think you speak too much? Why or why not?
2. What do you usually talk with your friends?
3. Do you think you are a good listener or you speak more?
4. What makes a person good listener?
5. Do you have any friends who speak a lot? If you do, are they happy?

So, come and join the class!!
