Sample Answer:
- Well, I have received so many surprises in life which made me happy.
- But here, I would like to mention about the recent one I received from my friends which made my day.
- Actually it was my birthday last week and my friends gave me a surprise by visiting my place that day.
- I did not expect that they would come to my home for my birthday surprise.
- Because usually, at my previous birthdays they used to call me outside to celebrate.
- But this time, they knew that I would be unable to join them outside because my sister had undergone a surgery that week and I had to stay with her.
- So, my friends might have wanted to cheer me up in this situation. So they made a plan to surprise me.
- That evening, I was sitting with my sister when the doorbell rang.
- When my mother opened the door, my friends appeared out of nowhere with cake and snacks while singing a birthday song.
- I literally had no idea about their visit and my happiness had no bound to have them at my place.
- I hugged them tight when I saw them as it felt like they suddenly lifted our mood because my parents were very tense due to my sister’s injury.
- They brought me my favorite red velvet cake.
- My mother and father also joined us in the cake cutting ceremony, then we all enjoyed snacks while gossiping.
- All their arrangements for my birthday surprise really made me feel happy and special.

- How do people express happiness in your culture?
Usually, people arrange get togethers’ and enjoy meals and dance together. Also, they distribute sweets among their relatives and friends to express their happiness.
- Do you think happiness has any effect on people? How?
Undoubtedly, happiness has a profound effect on people’s day to day life. I believe when a person is himself happy he can spread happiness to others as well. Moreover, when people stay happy that vibes reflect in their work and services as well which make this world a better place to live.
- How can people be happy?
Well, I do not think the meaning of happiness is the same for all people because everyone has different expectations from life. If one person chases spiritual happiness, others chase material possessions. Likewise for an ill-person, good health is the ultimate happiness and a healthy person seeks emotional well-being. So, there is not a single mantra of happiness for one and all.

Definitely, it is not good for people to be unhappy because unhappiness not only takes a toll on our mental and physical health but it also worsens our performance at our work and study. Along with this, an unhappy person also affects the people around.
