What Things in Your Life Make You Happy?

"What Things in Your Life Make You Happy?" is the topic you can write about for practice of the UEE (=University Entrance Exam); it is part of the test from June 2010.

Watch this video first to get some ideas: it is about the pleasures of small things in everyday life. I am sure you will see or will be reminded of some things that make you happy. The video is called "The pleasure of;" make a mental list of the pleasures you see in the video which would mean pleasure and happiness for you too - remember to practise with the correct grammar construction: preposition + -ing (e.g., the pleasure of eating an ice-cream)

And if you have problems writing about yourself, you can always get in somebody´s shoes and let your imagination fly... think of this girl in the photo, what do you think makes her happy? why is there such a beautiful smile on her face?

  1. A lot of things: the pleasure of staying with my family,
    the joy of taking photographs, the enjoyment of feeling healthful, and so on...

    Best regards, Rosa.

    Every day gives us an opportunity to discover new treasures and to enjoy with little pleasures. For me, simple things like a “good morning” make me happy. I like waking up by sunlight, showering with the music on, having breakfast in pajama, running through the rain, smelling flowers, swimming in the sea, laying on the sand…Small things that make me smile.
