One possible version
My English teacher, Ms.Wang in class
As a student, I think teachers’ body language plays an important role in classroom teaching. 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. When she is immersed in her class, her eyes shine with excitement and she is very cheerful.
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. From her facial expression, we know she is pleased with the students who perform well.
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.
