Have you ever heard the phrase “l(fā)aughter is the best medicine”? Is it true that the more we laugh the healthier we will be? Lately, many scientists have been doing research on this topic. They have found that laughing is very good for you. To start with, people who smile and laugh a lot make friends easily. Wouldn’t you rather be friends with somebody who makes you laugh than with someone who makes you cry?

Besides, if you laugh often, you decrease (減少) the chances of falling ill or getting heart disease. Laughter sends a happy signal to the brain, and it gives off chemicals that make people less stressed. That’s why watching funny movies make people happy. When you laugh, it takes the weight off your shoulders and gets rid of negative (消極的) thoughts and feelings. Stress creates lots of health problems in the body and can make you fall sick easily. Laughing also helps us breathe better, and it can have the effect of exercise on the body.

Feeling happy and being positive (積極的) are very important for the mind and body to stay healthy. What does it mean to be positive? To have good thoughts and find the best in every situation even if it is bad. For example, if your teammate makes a mistake and lets the team down in an important sports game, rather than telling him that it’s his fault and being hard on him, give your team the courage to pull together. Even if you are disappointed, being able to see mistakes as a learning opportunity and working as a team will make everyone do much better in the future.

So what should we do with this information? We should set a goal to make our family and friends smile and laugh every day. We should also try to be positive in everything we do. The more positive you are, the more positive people around you will be.

Girl Power

Dear Dad,

Boarding (寄宿) school has been great!

Yesterday, we were required to watch a speech to prepare us for our year-end examinations. It was a video recording of a young Pakistani woman speaking in front of a huge crowd of more than 500 United Nations’ student representatives (代表) - including youths from European, African and Asian countries-on her 16th birthday in 2013. The woman’s name is Malala Yousafzai.

The Taliban took control of Malala’s city in 2007. When they banned (禁止) girls from going to school in 2008, Malala fought against it and dared to speak out, even though she could get into trouble. From time to time, she wrote diary entries (條目) for the BBC. The New York Times also did a documentary (紀錄片) on her. They were helpful in showing the world how terrible it was living under the Taliban. This made Malala an important public person.

In 2012, the Taliban dealt with her by shooting her in the head. But Malala lived. In her speech, she said, “They thought that the bullets would silence us. But they failed.” She survived and now fights even harder for education for all children. There was huge applause (掌聲) at the end of her speech.

Malala has refused to stay silent. Today, she has been interviewed countless times and even has a day named after her. Malala Day, as declared by the United Nations, falls on the 12th of July. It is a day to remember the most powerless (無力的) girls from all over the world. Malala is a huge influence and is also the youngest winner of the Nobel Peace Prize.

I used to think speeches were just words! But hearing Malala has encouraged me to become a teacher! I hope you’re proud of me.
