Understanding body language
Body language, as a form of communication, is different from culture to culture. For example, nodding one’s head means “agreement” and shaking one's head means “disagreement” in most countries, but in some countries of South Asia, it is just the opposite.
Look at the gesture below. What does it mean? In different places, it means different things.
In most cultures, it means “OK”; in
Russia, Brazil and Turkey, it is an insult; in France and Belgium, it means “zero” or “worthless”; in Japan, it means “money”.
Here are the meanings of some common kinds of body language in the West:
Body language Possible meaning
head held down shy, ashamed
head raised confident
looking down dishonest
looking away bored, uninterested
looking in the eyes friendly, interested, honest
crossed arms not open, unfriendly, angry
open arms open, friendly
hands on the sides impatient, angry
Sometimes the words a person uses do
not match his or her body language.
When this happens, it is often more
important to look at their body language.
Let’s play a game！
What does their body language say to us?
They are shy.
What does their body language say to us?
They are confident.
What does her body language say to us?
She is lying.
What does her body language say to us?
She is not interested / bored.
What does their body language say to us?
They are friendly to / interested in
and honest to each other.
What does his body language say to us?
He is not open / unfriendly / angry.
What does their body language say to us?
They are open / friendly.
What does his body language say to us?
He is impatient / angry.
Glad to see you.

Where would you like to spend the summer holiday this year?
Millie wants to help the exchange students learn more about different cities in China. She has found two articles written by two students. Here are the articles.
A Two cities in China
Welcome to Beijing
I am Wei Ke from Beijing, the capital of China.
In the middle of the ancient city of Beijing is the Palace Museum, also called the Forbidden City. The emperors of the Ming and Qing dynasties used to live there. It was turned into a museum in 1925. With wonderful buildings and art treasures inside, it is well worth a visit.
Welcome to Beijing
Next to the Palace Museum is Tian’anmen Square, the biggest city square in the world. Many tourists like to gather there early in the morning to watch the raising of the national flag.
In the north-west of Beijing is the Summer Palace, a large Chinese garden set in a natural landscape. It was once a nice place for the emperors to spend the summer.
Another famous attraction is the Great Wall. It runs for over 6,000 kilometres across northern China, with watchtowers every few hundred metres. The wall was first built more than 2,000 years ago. It is one of the wonders of the world.
Come and visit my city!
All about Guilin
All about Guilin
Hello. My name is Mei Fang. My home is in Guilin.
“East or west, Guilin landscape is best.” Guilin is really a beautiful city in southern China. It lies on the two sides of the Lijiang River. All around the city, mountains stand in different shapes. Many visitors come and visit Guilin because of its fantastic landscape.
In the north-west of the city is the Reed Flute Cave. In this underground cave, it is amazing that there are so many rocks in unusual shapes—some hang down, and others point upwards. The cave is praised as the “Art Palace of Nature”.
Tourists like to take a boat trip along the Lijiang River. It is great fun. It is also popular to hire a bicycle and ride around the countryside.
I hope you can visit my city one day!
The emperors of the Ming and Qing
dynasties used to live there. 明朝和清
朝的皇帝以前都住在那。
used to do sth.意为“过去常常做某事”,
暗含“现在不做了”的意思。
例: I used to get up early and take an
hour's walk before breakfast.
我过去常常起床很早并且在早餐前
散步一小时。(但是现在不做了)
Language Points
相关短语
(1) be/get used to sth /doing sth . 是指
习惯于做某事。(这里的to 是介词)
例：Are you used to the food here?
你习惯吃这儿的饭菜吗？
I get used to living in the countryside.
我习惯了住在乡下。
(2) be used to do sth. 指被用来做某事，
是use sth. to do sth. 的被动语态。
例：The notebook is used to take notes.
笔记本是用来记笔记的。
2. It was turned into a museum in 1925.
它在1925年被改成了一个博物馆。
turn into 意为“变成；使成为”。 如：
Turn love into hate. 由爱转恨。
Turn loss into gain.?转亏为盈 ; 扭亏为盈
相关短语
turn against 与……反目成仇
turn around/round 转身；翻转
turn down 调低；拒绝
turn to 向……求助
turn out 结果是……; 出席；在场
3. With wonderful buildings and art treasures inside, it is well worth a visit.
它(故宫) 里面有宏伟的建筑和艺术珍宝，
非常值得一游。
(1) 介词with短语，在句中常作状语，
表示原因、条件、时间、伴随、方式等。
例: With the development of modern medicine, more and more disease can be cured.
随着现代医学的发展，越来越多的疾病能够被治愈。
(2) worth是一个只能作表语的形容词，意思 为“值……的”、“相当于……的价值的”、“有……价值的”、“值得……的”。后接名词、动名词。
例： This second-hand car is worth $2,000 at

north-west
south-east
south-west
5. Many tourists like to gather there early in the
morning to watch the raising of the national
flag. 许多游客喜欢一大早聚集在那里观看升
旗仪式。
句中的raising 是raise的动名词形式。 注意raise和rise的区别。raise意思是“举起；提起(某物)”，是及物动词，而rise 意思是“(某物)上升；升起”，是不及物动词。
如：He raised his hands to get my attention.
他抬起手想引起我的注意。
6. It is one of the wonders of the world.
句中的wonder为名词，意思是“奇迹；奇观；
奇事”。如：
Mount Qomolangma is a natural wonder of the
world. 珠穆朗玛峰是个世界自然奇观。
wonder 还可以作为动词，意思是“想知道，
想弄明白”。 如：
I was wondering who would be the next US
president. 我很好奇谁会成为下一届美国总统。
7. “East or west, Guilin landscape is best.”
桂林山水甲天下。
这句话由英语谚语“East or west, home is best” 而来, 相当于中国谚语“金窝银窝, 不如自己的狗窝”。
8. It lies on the two sides of the Lijiang
River. 它(桂林) 位于漓江两岸。
1)句中的lie 意思是“位于; 坐落在”。如：
The town lies on the coast.
这个小镇位于海滨。
2) lie 还有“躺; 平放”的意思。 如：
His books are lying all over the desk.
他的书堆得桌上到处都是。
3) lie用作动词，还可表示“撒谎”的意思；用作名词意思是“谎言”。如：
She always lies about her age.
她总是谎报自己的年龄。
9. In this underground cave, it is amazing that
there are so many rocks in unusual shapes—
some hang down, and others point upwards.
The cave is praised as the “Art Palace of
Nature”. 在这个底下溶洞里，有如此众多
造型奇特的石头，有的向下悬垂，还有的
向上伸展，真让人叹为观止。此溶洞被誉为
“大自然的艺术宫殿”。
句中的underground 意思是“地底下的”。 如：
There is an underground car park here.
这儿有个底下停车场。
underground还可用作名词，表示“地铁”。如：
I always go to school by underground.
我总是坐地铁上学。
