Discussion Task 5
Reading the passage and finish the exerxises.
Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness.
Money and success alone don’t bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a
Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depend on ourselves.” In other words,
we make our own happiness. Here are a few suggestions to help you
be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too
often, we spend so much time thinking about the future —for example,
getting a good job or living in a larger house —that we fail to enjoy the
present. You should enjoy life’s simple pleasures, such as reading a
good book, listening to your favorite music, or just spending time with
close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier
and healthier lives.
Another secret of living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies
where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience
dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about
your problems, and only think about the activity.
Task 6
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies
show that people will feel good when they spend their time
helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for
someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go
shopping to buy something for your parents, or simply help out
around the house by washing the dishes.
