READ

Laughing is essential to people as it is one of their ways to express their emotions. It also helps them feel better since it improves their mood.

READ

In today’s lesson, we will be discussing the reasons why people laugh. Laughing has always been a huge part of people’s lives; they can’t go on a day without it. People laugh to express their emotions. They usually laugh when they hear funny jokes or when they are being tickled.

However, people do not only laugh because of funny jokes, they also laugh to communicate. People laugh for about 30 times more during conversations with their family and friends. It is their reactions to statements and comments. In social interactions, people laugh to display some sense of belongingness. It is a way to show the people around them that they understand and agree with them. A study on human relationships reveals that families, couples or friends who deal with problems through laughter feel less stressed. They feel it most especially when they are doing it together. When these problems turn into positive emotions, people feel a lot better both physically and mentally.

QUESTION

Using the examples in the lecture, please explain the reason why people laugh.

Let’s read the dialogue. I will be Mr. Davies and you will be Mr. Evans. After reading it once, we’ll switch roles.

会話文を読みましょう。講師がMr.Davies、あなたはMr.Evansのパートを読みます。読み終わったら交代しましょう。
READ

 

One morning, Mr. Evans is discussing a new business plan to Mr. Davies for their Yummy Tuna product.


I believe it’s a great plan to make more flavors. However, your plan needs revision on page eight. Can we take a look at this part together?
 
 
Okay, sir. As you can see on page eight, I have recommended four new flavors for our Yummy Tuna. If we sell four new flavors along with Yummy Tuna’s original flavors, we will be able to meet our sales goals before this year ends.
 

 
I see. Based on your idea, we should start selling the new flavors by the first week of December. However, don’t you think we should produce two flavors first? We can always add flavors later. We are still short on supplies and capital.
 
 
You do not have to worry, sir. I will have my team look for new suppliers. Although selling only two new flavors is a good idea, I think it is better to sell all four flavors. That way, we can get new customers.
 

 
You have your points, Mr. Evans, but I still have few things that I need to see on your plan. Kindly include the capital we need, a list of possible suppliers, and a research on our costumers. I think we can give your idea a chance.
 
 
I will get back to you next week with the revised plan. Thank you, Mr. Davies.
 
CHECK YOUR UNDERSTANDING

Please answer the questions based on the dialogue.

USEFUL EXPRESSIONS

  1. Your business plan sounds like a good idea and you did a great job in doing your research.
  2. You and your team has done an amazing job on this project.

Next, we could use these expressions to tell him/her of their mistake/s nicely:

  1. Even though your idea is great, I don’t think the president will accept your plan.
  2. If you look on page five of your business plan, there are pieces of information needed to be changed..

Lastly, we could use these expressions to recommend revisions:

  1. I would recommend you to include more details on your business plan such as the cost and supplies that we are going to need.
  2. It would be great if you could put more information about our target costumers.
  3. If you were able to do that, I think we can give your idea a chance.
