Exercise1.
Read the text and comment on it:
Both the British and the Americans value a sense of humour and highly appreciate
people who have it. The two sayings: No humour, no soul! and Better poor than no
humour express this idea. A high value is also placed on the ability to resort to humour
when in trouble or difficulties, to laugh in the face of adversity. Puns, a play upon words
are particularly appropriate to English, which is rich in words and phrases that have
various meanings. Shakespeare was very fond of using puns, in both comic and serious
contexts. Many British people find puns very entertaining.
