Everybody knows that words can carry messages. People communicate with words. Books, magazines, TV and radio and films all help us to communicate with others. They all help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
Do you think you can communicate without words A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask a question. You shake your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”.
Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time
People can communicate in many ways without words. For example, an artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, about the sea and many other things.

If the eyes are the windows of the soul,then the body is the mirror of our feelings.If we are feeling great,we may give our body signals(信号).If we look at someone else’s body,we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals.So reading body language signals is a great tool in daily communication.
In case(假使)you don’t think that learning how to read and use body language is important,here are some numbers for you.7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say,and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone(语气)and the speed of their voice;while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.
These non-verbal(非口头的)signals will help you a lot,but you still need to focus on what people are saying.If you focus too much on their body language signals,you and the person may feel uncomfortable.It is useful to be able to read people’s body language,but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals too.Body language may be given several interpretations.Many signals have different meanings,depending on the person and the situation.Be sure of it when you me trying to read a body language signal.

Love is a two - way street
A father sat at his desk and looked at his bills when his young son rushed in and announced:“Dad, because today is your birthday and you’re 40 years old, I’m going to give you 40 kisses, one for each year!”When the boy started making good on his word (履行诺言) , the father shouted:“Andrew, don’t do it now. I’m too busy!”
The boy soon fell silent as tears fell from his big blue eyes. Feeling sorry, the father said:“You can finish later. The boy said nothing but quietly walked away.”That evening the father said:“Come and finish the kisses now, Andrew!”But the boy didn’t.
Unfortunately, a few days later after the father’s birthday, the boy had an accident and died. His sad father wrote:“If only(要是...该多好) I could tell him how sorry I am for my thoughtless words, and how much my heart is hurting.”
Love is a two-way street. We must warmly accept any loving act, or others will take it as a“NO”and it can leave a scar(伤痕). If we don’t receive love, our life will lose its true meaning. Nothing is more important than accepting love from those who are near and dear to us.

Dear friends,
Today I’m going to talk about our daily manners. It’s important for us to have good manners. Here’s some advice on how to behave well in our daily life.
First of all, we should look people in the eyes in a conversation. If we look around, we will give people a very bad impression. We should show respect and interest when talking with others. Secondly, it’s a polite way to say “hello” when we meet someone and say “goodbye” when we separate. Saying “thank you” is considered a good habit.Thirdly,making loud noise in public places is rude and should be avoided. Remember not to do anything that makes others feel uncomfortable. Last but not least, we should be polite not only at school but also at home.
Having good manners means thinking about other people and trying to make them happy,not just thinking about ourselves and what we want.If We are kind and polite to people,they will be kind and polite to us.Then everybody will be happy.
That’s all! Thanks for listening!
