There are a lot of sounds of "th" in the lyrics of  "Smile".

Yuko-san taught us a point when we made the sound of "th".


"Smile" is a song based on an "Instrumental theme" used in the soundtrack for the 1936 Charlie Chaplin movie Modern Time.
The Lyrics were added by John Turner and Geoffrey Parsons in 1954.
Did you know this ?

The singer is telling the listener to cheer up and that there is always a bright tomorrow, just as long as they smile. 

Today's discussion theme was:
What do you do when you are feeling down ?

In this discussion, the difference of the man and woman appeared clearly. 


According to the investigation on the Internet by Yuko-san, next activities are effective in making a feeling better.
