Do you like telling jokes in your English study? Jokes can make your words colourful and interesting. If (如果) you make people laugh, you can know that people are interested in your topic.

In order to get jokes, you can watch comedies or talk shows on TV. When you hear David Letterman’s jokes in his programme, you’d better write them down. Then you can have more jokes to tell when you talk with others. If your English is good enough, you can also write your own jokes to tell at a party or to break the ice before a speech.

How to make your jokes more interesting? Not all the English words sound funny. Some English words sound funny by themselves, while others can get a laugh only in phrases and sentences. You have to choose. Different people may have different feelings on a joke. So don’t be sad if others don’t laugh after you tell a joke. After all, telling English jokes is just a way to help you with your English study.
