3. Do you think it's important for people to laugh? 
Yes, of course. It's important to see the funny side of things; humour 
helps us not to take life too seriously. I think that laughter is good for our 
health. 
4. Is laughing the same as feeling happy? 
It's not exactly the same because you can be happy without laughing, 
and sometimes we laugh when something bad has happened; a sense of 
humour can help us to cope with difficult situations.

Yes, I write a lot of emails as part of my job. I work for a company that 
has offices in several countries, so we use email to communicate. 
2. How often do you send e-mails? 
I probably write between 5 and 10 work emails every day, and I send 
emails to friends or family a few times a week.
