8、elps in breaking the ice. Also people remember you because of your humour. But I think I dont have a very good sense of humour. Could you suggest how to build on this? Radha Karnik This is a great question that is unfortunately difficult to answer. I can only give you my views on this topic, which m

The way we play around with words adds the “funny” tag to an otherwise normal sentence. Also, seeing irony is very important.
11、 I think humour is often the link between two unrelated things. In my experience, laughing frequently and appreciating other peoples jokes and wit are very important. Within these, finding humour in everyday normal situations is the key. I often notice what is going on around me and say funny things
12、 in my head and laugh to myself. That serves almost as practice for when I am in a group. I watch comedy shows and movies and I am sure that has some effect on helping me improve my sense of humour. And last, having confidence that you are witty is important. There will always be someone wittier or

In those situations, humour has to be mild and politically correct.Yours，Brad文章大意：本篇是一篇议论文。文章由咨询者的问题引出作者对幽默的看法。作者给咨询者
