If you are happy...
Look and discuss
What do you think each person is communicating ?
The boy has crossed both his fingers and has his eyes closed, with a serious expression on his face. Usually crossed fingers show that a person is hoping for good luck, especially if he is worried about failure. But crossed fingers can also mean that he has made a promise that he intends to break.
It is really hard to tell what this man is communicating. Normally, we might think he could be upset.
Look and discuss
The woman in the photo is either deaf or is communicating with her husband who is deaf. She is using American Sign Language, and the
sign she is using means “I love you”.
The two children seem quite happy. Perhaps they have just won a table tennis match.
Pre-listening
Discuss when and where people need to use body language to communicate effectively.
Body language often needs to be used in situations where people cannot talk to each other directly. This can include, for example, deaf people using sign language, or army soldiers out on manoeuvres where they have to be silent or the enemy might hear them.
Listen to a conversation about body language.
Then answer the following questions.
1 How did the man get the idea of using gestures
to communicate?
2 What did the police leader tell his team by
using gestures?
3 What did the woman say about the acting
classes that she's been taking?
4 What did the man mean by saying “It's good
you tried” at the end of the conversation?
1 From an action movie.
2 He used gestures to tell them how many bad
guys were in the house.Then he gave
instructions on who should go where, and what
they should do.
3 She said that right now they're learning how to
use body language to express themselves.
4 He meant that even though she wasn't very
good at it, her experience was still wortthwhile.
