1.When could you speak your mother language after your birth?Most of us could speak our mother language no longer after our birth, maybe one and a half or two years old.2. What is the purpose of language?The purpose of language is to communicate, namely, to exchange with others’ ideas, feelings, information, and so on.3.But when you meet someone who can’t speak your language or who can’t speak at all. How can you communicate with them?We can communicate with them by miming(哑语), by any proper postures or by gestures.4. How can you tell if someone is sad even if they do not speak? Just by watching their facial expressions, take their frowned brows(皱着的额头)and their long facial expressions for example.
We call the gesture, posture or facial expressions mentioned just now body language.5. What do you think of “Body language” means ?It means expressing how one feels by gesture, posture, facial expressions, body movement and even eye contact etc rather than words.6.Body language is quite important in our life. So next, please talk about the importance of body language.Research shows that over half human communication takes place on the nonverbal level through body language. If your body language communicate earnestness(诚恳,真诚),enthusiasm(热情) and sincerity(诚挚),people will tend to believe your message(信息).If you send different verbal and nonverbal messages, they will inevitably(必然地)trust what they see and not they hear!
