Question

Question 6 of 51:
Read the passage given below:
What would we do without humour? How would we enjoy talks with others if we did not use humour to invite a smile or a laugh? And how would we manage the times when we feel sad
and alone?
With humour we lighten up each day, and we find common ground with others. We build healthy relationships with others by knowing what to say and to do that helps, and what hinders
a conversation. Humour often takes us to the edge of uncertainty when we exaggerate, or tease others to make our point. When humour is successful, we build trust and cooperation. We
discover that we are not alone, we learn to accept our mistakes, and we look for the good in others and in ourselves. Most important, we create common ground.
However, when we lose our sense of humour, we often get critical or defensive, and we blame others or ourselves for what was said, and how it was said.
Humour is an essential skill needed to communicate well with others. A few well- chosen words get the attention of others and make a serious point without their getting defensive. Whether
we prefer to be the centre of attention or shy and quiet, humour can be adjusted to suit our personality.
The challenge for everyone is to become more aware of how to add houmour, and when to avoid it. Too much humour, like too much spice, often annoys others. Humour that is perceived as
Insensitive often leads others to shut down, or become argumentative. But when we each maintain our sense of humour; we look for the good in others and in ourselves. To ensure that our
humour is welcomed by others, we need to combine our humour with speaking clearly and listening effectively.
We should always be full of humour and play pranks against others.
O Without humour, life is absolutely dull.
o We should learn how to be humorous.
o We should try our best to be in the company of people whose sense of humour is good.
