Watch the video Smile Trial
Smiles can be used to hide feelings like anger, fear or worry. Can you describe a situation where you might have a fake smile ?
Possible answer:
Sometimes I smile when I am impatient, but I know I shouldn't be. For example, if I am riding a train and a baby starts crying, I may try to smile, because even though the baby's crying is annoying, I know that it is not the baby's fault and there is probably nothing that can be done.
Possible answer:
There are “crocodile tears”. This is when a person fakes feeling sad or sympathetic for another person. (The phrase comes from an old story that crocodiles cry while they are eating, as though they feel sad for their victim.)
Apart from fake smiles, is there any other kind of body language that can sometimes be fake?
