(3 marks) a Money can’t buy happiness b Exercise is the key to happiness. c What makes us happy? There has been a lot of research into happiness. Researchers found that many people believe that money, a dream job or a big house will make them happy. Scientists found that people feel happier when they have an experience rather than when they buy something. For example, buying something that you want will make you happy for about two weeks. However, the feelings created from having an enjoyable experience, like spending time with friends or family, are longer lasting than when we buy something. Did you know that exercise can make you happy? Researchers did experiments with people suffering from depression. The people were asked to do just 30 minutes of exercise a day, like walking, running, swimming or cycling. The results showed a significant improvement in their mood after doing exercise. Hobbies are also important for well-being. Hobbies can make you healthier because they reduce stress by making you forget about problems and focusing your mind on something else. Hobbies are also a great way to make new friends. Sharing a common interest can make you feel connected to SPECTRUM 2 SPECTRUM 2 others. Learning a new skill through a hobby also increases your self-esteem and this also makes you feel more positive. Unit 5 test 12 Read the text again. Complete the gaps with one or two words.
