纯正英语一分钟-humour

I think humour¹ is one of the best things in life. Without it, nothing in life would be funny. It’s strange how we start laughing from such a young age. I wonder what makes tiny babies laugh. What do they find funny. Babies laugh and smile all the time. This means² we are born to laugh and make other people laugh. Our sense³ of humour develops as we grow up. Some people become very good at telling jokes. I always find it difficult to remember jokes. I don’t understand jokes from other countries. I love comedy⁴ shows from England, but I can’t see what’s funny when I watch American comedies⁵. I guess humour is different, even with people who speak the same language. Anyway, I think I have a good sense of humour and I like a good laugh.
