1 I think schools can be happy places. I remember my schools very well. My primary school gave me the opportunities to meet so many new friends. We are still good friends today even if we are now either studying in different universities or working in different professions.2 Oh, I would have strong doubts about this teaching idea. Happiness comes from within the heart and is helped by the physical and social environment. I wonder how happiness can be taught in class. You may teach students how to deal with matters so that they feel happy about life though.

3 • I am not sure if happiness directly equates with learning better. I would argue that being happy may help with learning and make the learning easier.• I would agree that happy students learn better than unhappy ones, because the happy ones are more relaxed and emotionally less burdened. They can overcome any learning difficulties more easily.4 • I suppose they could make students aware of their own emotions and understand how important happiness can be for their life.• Perhaps the happiness classes could achieve a counseling effect for the class, to make students

happy.

1 I think the teachers may ask the students to discuss some happy experiences and compare them with unhappy ones and then think carefully about what makes them happy and how they can be happy in future.2 One activity may be discussion on how to be happy. There may also be activities asking students to share their happy experiences. I guess most activities are group work or class activity.3 I suppose some will think the class is useful and some won’t believe in it. Different students may have different opinions and reactions.

1 • Er, this is a difficult question. There are so many aspects of happiness that you could define ... I would say happiness is something from your heart. You feel very content with your life and you are jolly, bright and cheerful.

• I guess some people relate happiness to their material life, eg if they get what they want, they are happy. I always wonder how long this happiness can last, because there is no end to chasing material happiness. I prefer to think of happiness as a kind of spiritual contentment.

• Chinese ideas for happiness may be different from Western ones, because Chinese culture emphasizes how happiness is related to one’s social environment and how social harmony offers people happiness. We may not emphasize individuals’ demands or self-awareness of

happiness. Chinese happiness may be achieved through those who are around us: our parents, children, other family members, close friends and others in our immediate social circle.

2 I don’t think Chinese students ever make an association between school and happiness, because we are expected to go to a school no matter whether we are happy or not. But I think some must think schools are happy

places, because many children are eager to go to school for education. But equally some won’t like doing homework or sitting for exams. I wonder if anyone would associate these aspects of school with happiness anyway.

3 I guess some would love it, because to them, it is fun and different from their normal classes. Some may be very puzzled by this kind of classes and even think this is a waste of their valuable school time.

4 Perhaps if they were introduced during adolescence (13–19), they would bring the most benefit, because during this period students tend to resent anything in the world.
