If you really want to be fluent and communicate effectively with English speakers, you will need to understand what types of body language they use. What Exactly is Body Language? Body language is the movement of facial features or body parts, which intentionally（有意地）or unintentionally express thoughts and attitudes. Here are three key types: Facial expressions: A smile, a slight frown or a straight face are all different expressions that add another layer（层）of meaning to what you are saying. Eye contact is an especially significant part of body language that you need to pay attention to while speaking English or listening to someone else. Hand gestures: When you talk, do you move your hands around or do you keep them at your side? Folded arms, hands on hips or hands in pockets can create different messages even if you are saying the same words. Body position: The position of your body also means a lot. Leaning forward while somebody is speaking or how far you stand apart from your audience----it all matters. How to Practice English Body Language? While learning how to speak English takes a lot of work, from mastering grammar to perfecting pronunciation, body language requires the same attention and investment（投入）. What makes it even more challenging is that body language varies from culture to culture. For example, did you know that in Bulgaria, people nod their heads up and down to mean “no”? Therefore, you need to learn body language from real native English speakers. But how can you practice if you are not currently living with English speakers or in an English-speaking region? 1. Which of the following is a facial expression? A. Giving your brother a bear hug. B. Saying hello to your friend. C. Nodding to your boss in the meeting. D. Raising your eyebrows on
