Laughter is the sun that drives winter from the human
face.
— Victor Hugo
Click Picture
Interpretation:
When we feel disappointed, sad, lonely or miserable, we tend to feel as if we were living in winter. But laughter is a good medicine and it can work miracles. If we make a conscious effort to laugh, we will soon find that we are in a better mood. Here, Victor Hugo tells us, in a humorous way, the importance of being optimistic in times of adversity.

But before you go, you should make a plan to help you be better prepared. Here are some tips. Firstly, the weather in Thailand is hot and humid all year, so you should pack sunglasses, T-shirts, and sandals with you. Secondly, you should buy your plane ticket early. Thailand is a very popular place for a vacation, and the planes are very full. Thirdly, the traffic in this country is very bad and people drive really fast, so you should rent a car. Another tip is that you should drink a lot of water and juice to stay cool. Finally, and this is a very important tip, you shouldn’t take photos outside in the afternoon. It’s too sunny and bright! Remember these tips and you’ll have a great time there. Have fun in Thailand!Audio Track 1-2-7Watch the weather!Most people plan their vacations very carefully. They think a lot about plane tickets, passports, and hotel reservations. But they often forget about one important thing — the weather. You should learn about the right time to visit your vacation spot. Here is some information to help you plan your next vacation.Italy—The weather is sunny all year, but it’s sometimes cold in winter. April and May are warm and beautiful. From June to September, it’s very hot.Australia—Summer here is from December to April. It sometimes rains, but the weather is usually very good.

At a hotel in England, it’s a goat and a false leg. How are all of these things similar? They are unusual things that people leave in hotel rooms, in airports, and on city streets.Irish Martino works in the Lost and Found Center at an airport in a US city. “Sure, we find the usual stuff —cell phones, keys, sunglasses, and wallets,” she says. “But people also forget some weird things at the airport, too.” What does Ms. Martino find? A woman’s false teeth in the bathroom. A mannequin in an airport waiting area. “How do you forget those things?” Martino wonders.Nobuo Hasuda works for the Lost and Found Center in downtown Tokyo. The Center has almost 800,000 items. Three hundred thousand of them are umbrellas! There are also many other things — jewelry and briefcases, snow-shoes and musical instruments.Mr. Hasuda keeps the lost items for six months and two weeks. After this time, the finder can take the item. This is good luck for some people. Remember the envelope in Tokyo with $850,000? The owner did not claim it. Now the money belongs to the finder!Audio Track 1-2-11We should drive. It’s raining.We shouldn’t drive. It’s sunny.Audio Track 1-2-121. You should talk to the teacher before class.2.
