Presentation prepared by Gabriela V.

» We did on 1st April, last week.

It’s no accident that we consider a celebration dedicated to humour a national one.

Humour and laughter are national priorities in Bulgaria.

We laugh a lot.We laugh a lot.

We even have trendy laughter noises.Some of these prove to be very annoying….

Especially for our teachers. Especially when we laugh noisily during lessons...
