Reading READING 01e The best things in life are free
A group of young people are talking about life and happiness.

What do you think is the key to happiness?

I believe that you find happiness when you are happy with yourself. If you can say "I am a good person, I am a wonderful person", then you will be happy. You should also care about other people.
Maria
I think that the key to happiness is having a loving, supporting family. If you are happy in your family, you will be happy in your life. It is also important to look after yourself, to be healthy. You can't be both happy and sick.
Eddie
The key to happiness is choice. For myself, I want to get a good education and then I will have more choices in my life.
Svetlana
In my opinion, you find happiness when you enjoy life. Don't worry about money and about how many things you have. The best things in life are free. It doesn't cost anything to walk in a forest, to swim in the ocean or to sit and talk to friends. Now we are young and I think we should enjoy ourselves and our lives.
Pedro
The way I see it, the key to happiness is hard work. If you work hard then you will have enough money to buy a house, to get what you want. If you have neither a job nor money then you will not be happy.
