Times are bad

I notice that this period is very difficult for the students of M1 FLE. I think that we are all submerged by the work. It is for that reason that I propose you 3 methods to keep smiling.

First method: do it yourself

It is the simplest and the most economic method. You can practise it almost everywhere without accessory (avoid doing it when you drive or during a dinner). At the beginning, do not force too much and content yourselves with a small smile. Little by little, with the training you will be able to produce a smile so radiant as this follower of the practice.

The second method: use an accessory

This method is a little more complicated than the first one but it is very practical because it frees your hands (you can use it by driving but not during a meal or when you have a cold). As the first method, you will not reach at once the maximal result (the person presented here is a “quasi-pro” and has several years of training. He is my grandfather and those who know my supernan know why he is also strong). Begin with pieces of orange (or clementine, if you are really very depressed) then progress with your rhythm. You can also practise the first technique at the same time or to warm you. It will also be necessary to lead you to breathe well by the nose.

The third method: be helped by a professional

This method will be more expensive than two others but the results can be spectacular (if you do not meet a quack who demolishes your face). With this method, and a little of luck, you can obtain a PERMANENT SMILE, day and night. However I warn you that a lot of persons having practised this method complained about perverse effects as regards social relationships. There is more than one social situation where the smile is unwanted. I let you guess!
