A
Most Western people believe 12 star signs and they think that one’s date of birth decides his star sign. They also think that people born under different star signs have different characteristics. In their opinion, if you were born on 16th May, you should be stubborn, hard-working and patient. You do not like change, and never give up easily.
Is it completely right I don’t think so. A person’s birthday can’t be decided by himself. But his characteristics can be changed by the environment around him. I have a friend. He was born on 15th April and belongs to Aries. According to the information about Aries, we know that people of Aries are sometimes too impatient and a little selfish. But my friend always does things patiently, and he often thinks of others more than himself and isn’t selfish at all. He isn’t interested in becoming a leader and just does what he should do. So I don’t think all the people born under the same star sign share similar characteristics. That may just be a coincidence.

I’ve been working as a professional clown (小丑) for nearly two years. Before that, I was an actor for nine years. I was never famous, but I was quite successful! I changed jobs because I wanted to do more in life than make people laugh. What if I could help people, too
As a clown, I try to encourage sick, children in hospital to laugh and smile. When you laugh, your mind and body relax. Clearly, people who laugh more don’t have as many colds or other problems! Children who laugh a lot often get better results in their studies, too.
It isn’t an easy job. Not all sick children, get better, and sometimes I come home and cry. But I always go back to work the next I with my red nose on. I don’t earn much money as a clown, but I feel very lucky to work with such brave, wonderful patients.
I became a laughter yoga (瑜伽) teacher more than two years ago. Before that, I was a dentist! My job was very difficult and I used to feel fed up. Now I still improve people’s health, but everything else is completely different. Everyone has fun in a laughter yoga class, including the teacher!
No, laughter isn’t “magic” It doesn’t prevent all illnesses, keep you young, or make you beautiful. But did you know that it’s an excellent kind of exercise You move your whole body when you laugh!
Sometimes I work with famous people. It’s true that being rich can be stressful! Some famous people can be unpleasant at times, but I try to change their bad feelings. Laughter is excellent for people like musicians, artists and writers, because it helps people to be more creative.
