As an old saying goes, "Laughter is the best medicine." It's true that laughter is really good for our health. So, the next time you're feeling stressed, try to laugh a lot, develop a sense of humour and watch funny films.
The Comic Relief charity, an organization that helps people in need, uses laughter to raise money. Every two years in spring, many English people put on a red nose, make a fool of themselves and do "silly" thin
gs to make themselves and others laugh.
Examples of silly things you can do are:
● Invite friends round to your house to watch funny films. They have to pay to watch the films. Those with the most comfortable chairs pay more, and for food and drinks.
● Hold a talent show at school and ask your friends and teachers to sing, dance or tell jokes. Sell tickets for the show to the rest of the school.
● Have a red nose party at your house. All your friends come dressed in red, including red nose, and you serve red food and drinks. If they don't wear red, they have to pay a fine.
● Get the students in your school to make funny sculptures (雕塑) by using all kinds of materials. Sell tickets to your Red Nose Day exhibition and part of the money goes to Comic Relief.
The organization has helped people for more than 30 years. And how much have they collected since the first Red Nose Day? Over £1.8 billion! The idea of Red Nose Day has travelled to other countries too. In New Zealand, for example, people have made big red noses which they put on the front of cars and even buildings.
