Step1.leading-in
Good morning boys and girls! Today we are going to learn a new unit! Before our lesson I’d like to introduce a video to you all. Please watch it with attention. Then answer my question:
1 What forms of comedy are mentioned in the video?
2 Have you ever been to a comedy show? Share your
experience with the class.
So, comedy makes us laugh out loud. Do you want to know whether you are fun to be with?
Step2.Complete the questionnaire and find out if you are fun to be with.

b. Tell the joke again, but louder and more slowly
c Criticize your friends’ sense of humor and walk off.
2 It’s a Saturday afternoon and you’re not doing much. A friend calls and invites you on an adventure to explore a new town, What do you say?
a “0f course! I’ll be ready in fifteen minutes!"
b "Sounds interesting. Tell me more about it”
c “No, thanks, Maybe next time."
3 You and some friends get lost in an area you’ve never been to before. What do you do?

Results of the questionnaire on Page 1
Mostly "a"
You’re fun to be with, which means most people like you. However, make sure you’re not the type of person who does things only to please other people. It’s also important to make
time for the things that you enjoy, otherwise you might end up feeling miserable.
Mostly "b"
Your close friends probably think you’re fun to be with, which is great, but what about other
people? Try making an effort
to understand others and accept that not everyone has the
same sense of humour or fun.
Mostly "c"
You’re probably really happy to spend time by yourself, but try sharing your time and interests
with others. Finding people you can laugh with and have adventures with is what lifelong friendships are all about.
Complete the questionnaire and find out if you are fun to be with.
It is obvious that a person to be fun with should not always try to please others and a person happy to spend time by himself had better learn how to share life with others. We all have to learn how to be friends with others. Love, care and understanding makes a better and healthier life.
Step3. A clown can be a fun person to be with. Look at the pictures and tick the places where you would expect to see a clown.
O a private garden O a circus
O a busy street O a hospital
O an amusement park O a theatre
