But some people may think a corny joke actually a good joke. Telling a good joke depends not only on the joke itself but also on the way it is told. Some people have a skill for telling jokes. And some people simply do not know how to tell jokes. Every language and culture has its own funny jokes. As a result, many jokes lose their humor if they are translated into a different language.

Some jokes depend on making fun of other people to be funny. However, these jokes may hurt people’s feelings.

Sometimes jokes are told about certain races and religions (宗教). These are called “recial” and “religious” jokes, and they can be burting people, too. Jokes about the supposed special things of the members of one sex are sometimes considered to be “sexist (性別歧視的) rubbish”. Jokes that hurt people’s feelings are not really funny.

Everybody has different hobbies that they like to do for fun or just to relax. There are many kinds of activities like football, basketball, swimming, or baseball. It all depends on each personality(個(gè)性). For me, volleyball is my favorite hobby because it’s part of my life.

Since I was a little girl, I played volleyball in the school team and also with my friends in the neighborhood. My mother told me that I liked kicking the ball around and had so much fun with it when I was only about two years old. Since then, playing volleyball is my favorite sport and it is my hobby whenever I have free time.

Playing volleyball also helps me to relax and be confident. For example, after doing my homework or when I come home from work, I play a little bit with my kids outside of the house or we go to the park if the weather is nice. When I play volleyball, I feel healthy and stronger. I not only like playing volleyball but I also enjoy watching volleyball on TV.
