What makes you happy? 6 Minute English

Improve your English vocabulary and speaking with 6 Minute English! Research has suggested that while personal feelings of pleasure are the accepted definition of happiness in Western cultures, East Asian cultures tend to see happiness as social harmony and in some parts of Africa and India it's more about shared experiences and family.

Hello BBC Learning English Programme!
I'm Tuyen from Vietnam, this is the first time I have just learnt English listening through BBC. In my opinion, this programme is so useful for learners to improve listening skill as well as practice for the IELTS test.
If to answer the question ' What makes me happy, now?', I'm ready to say that I find a happy family and a good job.
thanks

Hello BBC
This is a useful topic with anyone. In my opinion, i see that happiness can define through the most simple action such as: get together with family, friends, get a goal, …as long as you are satisfied

[hoaiduong]

watching youtube is my coping mechanism, it helps me fill up my freetime in a jolly way instead of think about miserable stuffs

[jakkrapatk]

Learning English with BBC makes me Happy!.
Simplicity makes me Happy!

[buithanhxuan]

This subject is very interresting. It is difficult to define "the happiness". That vary from country to country, from culture to culture, and the most important is depended of the concept/opinion of each person in the life.

[josepontes]

What still makes me happy is the fact that there are selfless souls the world over.

[pingxu]

love both of you in the BBC learning English, funny and witty.
