Activity 5: Smiling, an international language

1. Write 3 benefits of smiling when you interact with another person.

2. Read the following passage.

Smling: an international language

Have you ever thought of the value of a smile? It is free to give and can change the mood of

the person who receives it. Everyone can do it, even little babies. It connects us with other

humans, no matter what language we speak. Beyond being able to make connections with

other humans, do you know that establishing a habit of smiling on a regular basis also has

wonderful health benefits? Studies have shown that even if you are not having a good day,

smiling can boost your mood. It’s because the physical act of smiling sends signals to your

brain that you are actually happy. Smiling also reduces stress levels because it releases

chemicals called endorphins.

3. Based on the reading, determine if each of the sentences are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F).

• If you and a friend speak different languages, you can still communicate through a smile. ( )

• If you are not having a good day, smiling does not help. ( )
