Homework? Smile in the morning!

Have you heard that even if you fake a smile, you genuinely start feeling happier? At least that’s what American scientists say, but is it true?

Me and my B2 group have decided to give it a try, hence the homework, perfect for grey November:

Put a board with the word SMILE next to your bed and force yourself to smile as the first thing in the morning. Remember to make notes on your feeling! After a week we will check the notes and see whether we have felt happier or not really.

‘Teacher, does it include Monday?’ asked my student.

‘Monday, I believe, is absolutely crucial.’
