You may use the information in Bl and B2 to help you.The power of body languageThe term “body language“ covers a wide range of non-verbal forms of communication. It varies from person to person. People are often unaware of their own body language.Human body language can broadly be divided into three main categories: facial expressions and eye movements, gestures, and finally posture and overall movement patterns. Facial expressions and eye movements are a very important form of non-verbal communication which indicates whether someone is friendly or hostile, and what mood they are in. Gestures are another major type of non-verbal communication. As with facial expressions, gestures can suggest attitude and mood. However, there are differences as well: we usually have more control over our gestures than over other forms of body language, so we can use them to emphasize what we are saying; unlike other types of non-verbal communication, gestures can also express specific meanings. Posture and movement patterns, finally, are an aspect of body language that we often overlook, as most of it happens unconsciously. The way we stand, sit and move arc deep-rooted habits that can be very difficult to change.Body language is a crucial part of communication. If we fully understand the role non-verbal communication plays in our daily interactions with others, we will be able to express ourselves more authentically. For example, maintaining an appropriate amount of eye contact shows that you are engaged in the conversation, which makes the person you are speaking to feel valued. Also, our body language helps put the verbal communication in context and gives others a better idea about our intentions. By smiling or moving in a friendly, non-threatening way, we can show others that we mean no harm. Ambiguous body language can make people feel uneasy, and it can also make them confused about what we really mean. It is therefore important to be aware of the signals that our body language sends out, so that we can make sure we express ourselves in a suitable way.教学反思
