A humorous people can be more popular than those who are not. This theory adapts to the English classes too. As a student, i would like the teachers who told jokes often rather those who are always copying the same words from the textbook.

we often interpret the word "humor" with wisdom and creativity. It really needs these two things to produce "humor", i think. Some riddles or jokes would be great help sometimes in English classes.

I was ever teaching a primary student who thought himself is the most clever person in the world, although he wasn't. I couldn't handle the situation that he would never listen to what i said. I complained about that with an experienced teacher. He tought me a very useful way--  threw some riddles for him to guess. I did. And more and more he listened to me.

Here's two riddles for you "what thing travels around the world and always stays on a corner" and "which word begins with a "e" and ends with a "e "with a letter in it".

Another example is from my writing teacher, an Englishman. A joke he told which  i'd like to share with you. He said "which three rings you will take in your marriage?". "Engagement ring, marriage ring and....." we guessed and guessed but just surrendered at last, pleading him to announce the answer, the answer makes us laugh loud, would you like to have a guess?
