:What were you doing just now? What did those gestures mean?
: Oh, I was just telling my friend over there to meet me for lunch down the street
in twenty minutes.
: Oh, I get it, so you were sending him secret hand signals.
: Yeah, we got the idea from an action movie last night and decided to try it out for fun. In the movie, the police were trying to enter a house, but they had to be really quiet so they could take the criminals by surprise. So, the police leader used hand gestures to tell his team what to do. For example, he used this gesture 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. I thought it was pretty cool how they used hand gestures to communicate.
: Well, you know, you can say a lot without speaking. I've been taking acting classes, and right now we're learning how to use body language to express ourselves.

: Wow, that's cool. So you mean you're not allowed to talk, right?
: Yes, and it's really difficult if they want you to express something complicated without saying a word. But I'm slowly getting better at it, I guess.
: That reminds me of those Charlie Chaplin movies. I guess it's not easy to tell a whole story only using body language.
: Yeah, he was a real master. Everyone in my class loves his movies. We actually had to watch some of his movies and act out some scenes. I was such an amateur!
: Well, it's good you tried. Now, by your body language, I can tell that you want to buy me lunch tomorrow. Am I right?

Suggested answers
1 It looks like the teacher is
pointing at a male student,
who is looking up with a
serious expression on his face. I think the
teacher is scolding him for something.
Meanwhile, the girl in the back of the photo is
hiding her mouth with her hand, and from her
eyes it looks like she is smiling. Perhaps she is
happy that the other student is being scolded.
Suggested answers
2 The boy is giving a fist pump
and smiling. This is normally
done when someone has
just accomplished something
good and wants to celebrate.
3 The boy is telling a joke to
the girl in secret, and she is
hiding her face because
she is laughing.

My English teacher, Ms.Wang in class
As we know, body language is an effective tool, along with spoken language, to convey thoughts and ideas, especially it can communicate emotion much more straightforward. Today, I will take my English teacher, Ms.Wang in class as an example.
When Ms.Wang is having class, she is always making eye contact with us as much as possible. With one hand pointing at the blackboard, she is spreading the other hand out to ask some students to answer her question.
Possible version
If we students perform well, Ms.Wang is always clapping her hands for us and nodding her head with a slight smile on her face. Though wearing a warm smile most of the time, she is really annoyed when she wears a frown, sometimes having her arms crossed in front of her chest, especially when some distracted students who are yarning appears to be sleepy during her class.
This is how I know my English teacher, Ms.Wang in class who can use body language to arouse the students’ interest and attract the students’ attention, thus to make the class lively and interesting.
