Task 1.
Imagine
that you wrote an interesting article about the advantages of the laughter and
you want to read this text to your friend. You have 1.5 minutes to read the
text silently, then be ready to read it outaloud. You will not have more than
1.5 minutes to read it.
By the time I got to the community centre, I was
already five minutes late. When I finally found the room, a diverse group of
young and old people were wandering around, pointing at each other and
giggling. It was one of the most ridiculous sights I had ever seen, but I
shouldn’t have been so taken aback, because this was a laughter yoga class!
Laughter yoga was started in 1995 in Mumbai, India,
by Madan Kataria, a doctor. He had been looking into the medical advantages
of laughter and found that a great way to relieve stress was to laugh for 15
to 20 minutes every day. He formed a public ‘laughter club’ in a park and
before long, a new movement combining laughter and special breathing
exercises had been created. The idea took off and, unbelievably, there are
now around 5000 thousand laughter yoga classes taking place around the
world!
At first, I was very skeptical. How could a bit of
silly giggling feel like exercise? Our instructor Maryanne explained that
laughter reduces stress, improves circulation, tones muscles and even helps
the respiratory system. In fact, just the simple act of smiling, she said,
tricks our bodies into thinking we are happy as it releases stress fighting
hormones called endorphins.
