| Well... to tell you the truth, I think it's not a good idea. When students enjoy themselves in class, they only remember the funny moments but it doesn't guarantee that students learned. Perhaps I say that because I am moody but it's my opinion. |

I everybody. Express humor it´s not easy labor, but by a sheet of paper, I think it´s so hard. Anyway I liked very much, especialy some guys that manifested their joke side. On the other hand, on the lesson there is a word that make me confused : I think the King, he added one PROVISO not provison as it´s written: He added one provison however and that was if the young man put himself forward and failed, he would be soundly flogged (whipped). Excuse me my poor English and if I did right writing about. Cheer. |

| I am usually doing everything seriously. However, sometime I can make other people laugh because I want it. |

| I use humor all the time!! Whether it's a play on words or my performance while I present a dialogue (I used to be an actress), I hardly ever fail to get my students to laugh. Of course they know that learning English is a serious matter, but I find that they pay more attention to me cause they don't want to miss something humorous that might happen! |

| One of the sheets I use is a 'tv guide' from the BBC; and one of the programs listed is: "A Comedy: Don't Ask Me." So, I ask them: What's on at 6:00? And they respond: A comedy. I cut them off and ask them: What's the name of the comedy? And, of course, they respond: Don't ask me. And a bit 'annoyed,' I ask again: What's the name of the comedy? And again they respond: Don't ask me. Usually by the third time someone 'gets it' and starts laughing and the others ask the student what's so funny and he/she tells them and then the whole class starts laughing. It works every time! |

There was a Russian employee from our company who returned from Seattle and asked me why there were so many shops selling nails (for construction) in the city. I couldn't grasp the question and only then I understood it. "NAILS" had the second meaning (fingernails)!!! This is the true story! |

| In Hebrew the word for 'liver' and 'heavy' are the same: kaved. So, the joke goes: An Israeli walks into a restaurant in the U.S. and orders a plate of heavy! My students like that joke cause they aren't native-Hebrew speakers, but Russian speakers! |
