A German school – Heidelberg’s Willy Hellpach School of Economics – has introduced a happiness class, in addition to subjects of languages and mathematics, into the school curriculum in order to boost students’ morale. The principal and teachers believe that happy students can learn more than unhappy ones. The happiness class activities can help students to achieve happiness by making tem have a positive state of mind, which leads to a higher self-esteem and self-consciousness.One exercise that has been given to students is to ask one of them to walk across the classroom; others then copy his or her movement. In this way, each student becomes aware of their own body movement and they understand their own body better, which helps to understand their state of mind.The teachers believe that it takes time for students to achieve happiness. Some students realize that happiness is not a definition written on the board, but something students have to work hard and find for themselves. This is a new type of teaching which may have a long way to go.Listening inListening and understanding2Answers1(c) 2(d) 3(a) 4(b)31. tolerant; rounded2. close to; stand up3. beauty; generosity4. an opportunity; beyond the one5. behaved; selfish6. pretend; see through7. arrived in; had to help8. difficult time; a huge amount of61.
