Some pieces of my advice are as follows. To be honest, when people meet, it is proper for us to shake hands with others rather than kiss on the hand, which is different between in China and in the West. In addition, it’s good manners to keep smiling and make eye contact when talking to others on account that avoiding eye contact may mean being shy in China. At last, when we sit or stand, we’d better not sit with crossed legs or stand with crossed arms, which may be considered as being rude. I’m looking forward to your coming and hope you will have a good time in China.

This article is an expository article. Starting from the basic function of body language, this paper introduces the important factor of regional culture, and shows that the proper understanding and use of body language in regional culture must be considered. This expository essay mainly conveys three layers of information to readers. First, the importance of body language, which has a social communication function. Second, body language is regional, and it has certain regional cultural attributes, but it is not absolute. Third, body language should be appropriate. Part II Student Analysis Students in the second year of high school already have a certain basic knowledge of English, and can initially understand and use basic body language, such as nodding in agreement and shaking in no. In terms of text analysis, students have already learned about common signposts that represent logical relationships, so it is not difficult to grasp the structure of texts and understand the methods of explanation. However, students may lack awareness of complex or subtle body language, and have not yet systematically learned the similarities and differences of body language in different cultures. Therefore, through the study of case studies in the text, cross-cultural comparative research is carried out, and through post-reading video viewing and group discussions, students can intuitively and deeply feel the differences and similarities of body language in different cultural backgrounds and how to judge the true and false smiles. Part III Teaching Objectives 1.Acquire the meanings of some body language in different cultures. 2.Analyse the structure of an exposition . 3.Realize the importance of respecting different cultures when interacting with others. Part IV Teaching Key and Difficult Points 1.Acquire the meanings of some body language in different cultures. 2.Analyze and understand the complex sentences in the text. 3.Analyze the structure of expository texts and identify topic sentences. 4.Apply communicative strategies in life. 5.Enhance the cross-cultural awareness.
