Introduction 1

This was a very memorable event of my life and I will remember it for lifetime. It

happened before a couple of years in the locality where I live (you may change the

place and time). I was with my family but we were all in a get together of all the

residents of our colony. This happens once every six months.

The reason why most people were smiling is very special. The person who had

arranged the get together had organized a very meaningful activity. He brought

every senior citizen on the stage one by one. All the people were supposed to share

about their good points and how important the senior members are for us.

The environment was full of joy and gratitude. Each and every senior member felt

so good from within and this was clearly visible in the spark in their eyes and their

body language. Everyone present there was smiling and beaming with happiness. A

lot of respect was showered on the elders.

For the first time in my life I was a part of a get together where I saw all happy faces.

There was no gossip and no complaints. Only sharing of good things and

appreciating the value of older generation in the community. I felt very nice and I

look forward to more such events where we can bring smile on faces and hearts. It

was a heart touching occasion.

Well, the stress level is too high these days among people that we don’t see them smiling much.

When it happened? and Who you were with?
But, here I would like to share my ” experience of seeing many people smiling and it was the occasion of my cousin’s wedding. My cousin lives in America and he was here to get married and we were invited to this evening party like others.

The celebration was organized at the most expensive retort of my city which was beautifully adorned with light and flowers. The decoration was just breathtaking and we were impressed. My cousin’s parents were greeting all the guests wearing a huge smile on faces and it was such a delightful moment since we had seen them after ages.

What happened? And explain why many people were smiling?
It was such a grand celebration and there were arrangements of all sorts for the guests, especially, the food and drinks. The finger-licking food was bringing a smile to every face and the important Scotch was making those who drink smile in excitement. In addition, my cousin had also invited a famous comedian for the entertainment of the guests who was making everyone burst into laughter with his hilarious jokes.

Conclusion:
Lastly, there were dozens of cameras all around and to ensure they are looking smart and cheerful all guests were wearing a smile on their faces. That day everyone was extremely happy for the newly wedded couple and for that reason there were smiles all around and I found it to be the place where and I saw lots of smiling faces.

A smile can brighten our day and lighten any situation
In today’s fast-paced life we are forgetting the importance of smiling
Today I will talk about a situation when I saw many people smiling

When it happened? and Who you were with?

It was when I was travelling with my cousin to Chandigarh on a bus
It was around a month ago
There were around 50 passengers on the bus and of all age groups.
People were doing different activities- some were talking to each other, a few were reading, children were busy playing games on the mobile phones and some were sleeping.

What happened?

After about half an hour into the journey, a passenger sitting in the middle of the bus started talking on the phone.
He had a very loud voice and I could hear him even though I was sitting in one of the front seats.
I couldn’t help hearing his conversation because of his loud voice.

And explain why many people were smiling?

Apparently, he was talking to his wife
From his conversation, it seemed that he had forgotten about their wedding anniversary
He was apologizing profusely to his wife and was saying that he was ready to buy her anything she wished for.
That conversation lasted for more than 10 minutes before his wife finally accepted his apology.
After the call ended, the person heaved a sigh of relief.
My cousin and I exchanged a few smiles during that conversation
And I happened to turn around and saw that everyone on the bus was smiling.
Everyone on the bus had overheard his conversation and had enjoyed it.
Even the person talking on the phone looked relieved and was smiling.
Thinking about that journey still brings a smile to my face.

Conclusion:

I think that we should smile more often, like when we greet someone or thank someone.
It can make someone’s day.

Introduction 4

There is no denying this conviction that having a smile improves your face value.
Being a jovial person, I love to see many people smiling in unison.

When it happened

Last month I had such an opportunity.
Due to the corona pandemic, our whole nation was in a state of lockdown.
The higher authorities lifted the lockdown last month.
During that time, I saw a massive crowd of people smiling and laughing.

Who you were with

I was with my family.
Since we had remained indoors for months, we decided to have a family dinner at a fine dining restaurant.

What happened?

Human beings are social animals.
They love to meet and interact with people.
Due to lockdown, people had tough times at their homes.
Because their routines changed, their lives hit a lean patch.
They didn’t have an opportunity to either going out on inviting people to their homes.
This changed routine led to emotional breakdown for many people.
Children were finding it hard to study online.
Fitness freaks couldn’t do a proper physical workout.
In a nutshell, people from all walks of life were under enormous stress.
Therefore when the news of the ceasing of lockdown broke out, everybody had a sigh of relief.

Explain why many people were smiling?

Since people got their earlier life back, they were smiling a lot.
Many of them were dancing on the streets.
Children were creating a lot of noise which was sounding good to the ears.
Celebrations were going on all around.
It felt as if the whole city has come on the streets.
In such kind of atmosphere, the stress in our lives goes for a toss.
Therefore, everyone was smiling that day.

Introduction 5

There is no denying this conviction that a smile is contagious.
When one person smiles, the other follow too.
Although on numerous occasions I have seen people smiling, one such instance is worth mentioning.

When it happened

It happened last year, on the occasion of my cousin’s wedding.
When I reached the wedding, I saw a vibrant smile on everyone’s face.

Who you were with

I reached the wedding venue with my sister.

What happened? and why many people were smiling?

The date of the wedding was 12th April last year.
During that time, I was in Singapore for my official work.
Due to the corona pandemic, the higher authorities in Singapore imposed a stringent lockdown.
Moreover, all international flights also came to a halt.
Therefore it was not feasible for me to be a part of the ceremony.
My whole family was unhappy with this development.
Since I eagerly wanted to attend the function, I had started looking for alternate options.
I came to know that an air bubble flight of Singapore Airlines was going to my country.
Although the ticket price was double, I decided to board the flight.
I further planned to keep my visit a surprise.
My flight landed two hours before the wedding.
I told my sister to pick me from the airport, so she also became a part of my surprise plan.
We just reached the wedding at the time when my cousin was about to tie the nuptial knot.
Upon seeing me, there was an element of surprise on everyone’s face.
Suddenly the surprise turned into a smile.
All members of my family were smiling.
I felt good about myself because my arrival created some memorable moments for my family

Introduction 6

Smile is an undervalued emotion
Not many people understand its full significance.
I love to see a smile on everyone’s face because it is a contagious emotion.
Upon seeing others smiling, I too get motivated to have a smile on my face.

When it happened

Last year a blessing came in the life of one of my neighbour’s life which made the whole township smile.

Who you were with

Our whole township comprising about 200 people were there at that moment.

What happened?

A few years back, one of my neighbours family met with an accident.
It was a fatal accident, only my friend Stephen came out safe from that accident, rest of the family members died on the spot.
Stephen was 16 years old at that time.
By working hard with determination, dedication and discipline he somehow continued his study without much support.
Although many neighbours used to help him, they couldn’t replace the unabated support made by the parents.
Stephen went through a tough time in education due to a lack of money.
However, with hard work, he got a plum job with a multinational company named Google.
When this news had gone viral in our township, all people came to Stephen’s house to congratulate him.

Explain why many people were smiling?

All people had a broad smile on their face because they were feeling happy for Stephen.
It was a dream come true for him.
Stephen got blessings from everyone, and he went emotional
He thanked everyone for supporting him during his tough times.

Introduction 7

It is a well-known fact that a smile improves face value. Recently I experienced a special day when many people were smiling.

When did it happen?

The occasion was the reopening of our colleges after the lockdown. It occurred last year.

Who you were with?

I was with my classmates and teachers.

What happened?

Due to covid 19, the whole nation was in a state of lockdown. We all friends met after a very long time. We had a sigh of relief, and we all were having a broad smile on our faces.

Explain why many people were smiling?

The main reason was the freedom we all had. For college students attending lectures, eating and the canteen and going for a long drive are the usual pastimes.

However, due to the lockdown, all the fun and excitement in our lives ceased to exist. Although we friends remain connected through social media, face to face interaction was missing.

Gradually boredom had made inroads in our lives. Hence the life became monotonous. Everybody was ready to break the shackles to get the fun back into their lives.

Finally, when the college had opened, we got our fun back. All students and teachers were in a state of euphoria. There was excitement all around. It seemed like a festival was going on.

The college arranged a live music band for the entertainment of the students. Many students were shaking their legs at the live music. The food court inside the campus had full occupancy after a long time.

The reopening ceremony brought the smile back on the faces of students and the teaching faculty.

Introduction 8

Seeing other people laughing always makes me happy just as much as sharing a story of laughter. I also believe that people should always try to laugh as much as they can, whenever there is a reason for it because laughter makes us feel happy and alive. So, it is indeed a pleasure for me to talk about this cue card topic.

It was about a couple of years ago when one of my cousins was getting married. All of our family members, friends, relatives and many other distinguished guests had come to attend the marriage ceremony. It was also attended by a number of little children. However, having the most fun at that marriage ceremony was a “gang of children” who seemed to be “fearless”.

Immediately after arriving at my cousin’s place, they made sure that they were announcing their “loud presence” everywhere by opening the “gift boxes”, playing with the flowers of wedding decoration and running to the kitchen, among many other things. Sometimes, they could also be seen “posing” for pictures to the wedding photographer.

Introduction 8

Anyway, after finishing the formal activities of the wedding ceremony and enjoying the delicious food, there finally came time for watching wedding videos. And, the videos were being played on a big screen through the use of a projector so that everybody was able to enjoy them. The guests got busy watching the videos (videos of important events and activities of the wedding ceremonies) while enjoying some light snacks also at the same time. Then, suddenly, everybody burst into laughter, and it had continued for about a minute. By the way, I think, it was one of the most natural and “contagious” laughter, I had ever heard in my life.

Anyway, everyone burst into laughter because the particular “gang of children”, causing “mischief” at the wedding ceremony, could be seen secretly carrying the big wedding cake, away from public eyes, at a corner, and then eating it like there was no tomorrow! Well, the wedding guests couldn’t possibly have expected to see any funnier video of children than this, could they!

Introduction 9

Thank you for this nice cue card topic. While taking a photograph at a family event, everyone had to smile at me as I pointed the camera to them. In fact, without smiles, photographs remain incomplete, at least these days. So, to make the photos complete and better, a smile is a must. And the people who posed for the picture smiled at the camera to get their happy faces clicked. This cue card question reminds me of the day when I took a beautiful picture for some of my relatives.

The event was arranged marking the 19th birthday of Adaliz, my cousin. The event was held on the rooftop of their house and the place was decorated nicely. Some traditional food items were prepared for celebrating the event. And finally, it was time to take photos. Some took group photos while some took selfies. I took a group picture of some of my relatives and they smiled at me because I was holding the camera.

It was more than a birthday party. A family gathering would be the best term to explain the event. The event was participated by almost all the relatives of my family. I went there with my parents and other siblings. Everyone was asking me to take their photos and I was gladly meeting their needs.

Unhappy faces are unexpected and so people smile when they pose for photos, especially in a happy event like a birthday party. So, when I said that I will take group photos, everyone agreed. When they posed, they smiled so that they look beautiful in the photo. When the photos were printed, the smiling faces really looked beautiful.

Introduction 10

Thank you for this interesting topic. Due to our busy and modern lifestyle, it is indeed rare to have time and laughter together with friends and family. We cannot manage enough time for us due to the hefty schedule we follow. But last month, we all celebrated and smiled as I was offered a position for the senior executive at a multinational bank in Malaysia.

I went to attend the final interview with a reputed bank operating in Kuala Lumpur on the 24th of last month and I was able to reach the last round of the interview. The interview was held around 10.30 am and it lasted for around an hour. The interview board consisted of five members. One of the members was the Vice President of the bank. As it was a senior position, some other bank high-ups were present in the interview session. Everyone present on the board was happy with my overall performance and so I was offered the job.

So later this evening, I invited some of my friends and relatives in a restaurant to celebrate this happy occasion. Every one of us laughed and enjoyed to our fullest. We enjoyed our food and smiled even every funny and not-so-funny joke.

Well, in today’s busy and stressful lives, it is very important to keep smiling as it reduces the stress to great levels.
A smile can brighten our lives and help us have a productive and happy day.
So, I think people should not forget the importance of spreading cheer and smiles to people near them.
We should arrange get-togethers where we can relax ourselves and have quality time with family and friends.
One such occasion happened in my life when I attended my first cousin, Ankit’s wedding last month.
It was a happy occasion as it was the first wedding in our family in my generation.
So, we had made arrangements on a large scale.
My whole family had gathered for the occasion, even the distant relatives.
Everybody was delighted and impressed with the venue and the decoration.
My aunt and uncle were also quite enthusiastic and were busy welcoming the guests with a smile and some refreshments.
As soon as all the guests arrived, we started the ceremonies planned with Sangeet being the first event.
However, during my cousin’s and his would-be wife’s performance, he went down on his knees to give a ring to his bride.
However, to his embarrassment, he realised that he had forgotten the ring.
My sister-in-law stood there in embarrassment and started staring at my cousin angrily.
My cousin, in turn, started staring at his friend who he thought was supposed to get the ring.
Nonetheless, the people watching this performance were laughing heartily at my cousin and teasing him to no end.
I, too, jumped in and started teasing him about the occasion, which embarrassed him even more.
Eventually, my cousin and my sister-in-law too started laughing and I ran to his room and got the ring.
The day was a very happy one and we still tease my cousin for that incident.

Every smile is having its own agenda behind the smile. So this was the occasion when I saw most of the people keep a smile on their faces.

Follow up Questions

On what occasions do we see people smiling?

People smile when they are really happy or when they are in front of a

camera. So I guess when it is birthday or a wedding celebration we see

people smiling. If they are on stage they smile too, to look good.

Do you think people smile artificially sometimes?

Oh yes, many times. And it is very difficult to make out if the smile is real or

fake. I guess at times we are forced to smile because of some social

situations and it happens with everyone at some point of time.

How can we feel happy from within?

We have to make efforts to do it. It is only when we start accepting our life

situations and look out for the best then we can feel happy from within.

Contentment with life is also very important to feel the happiness from

within.

What are the advantages of choosing to smile over frowning?

The first advantage is that we will look good. Nobody looks good when they

sulk. Another advantage is that we will give an opportunity for others to

smile too as smile is contagious. It resolves grudges and keeps us healthy.

Why do children smile more than adults?

Children are innocent and they are yet to develop logical thinking. Because

of this they do not judge others and they can forgive easily. Children can

enjoy the nature and the selfless relationships and so they smile more. They

are also not burdened by problems and responsibilities.
