What do you know about the eye contact? Talk about the questions: Lead-in How does eye contact work? Eye contact means looking into another person’s eyes. It is a very important part of body language. You may avoid looking someone in the eye when talking with them because you are shy. But in many cases, eye contact is the key to good communication. You can show friendliness, interest and understanding through eye contact. 关键 The key to the door门的钥匙 The key to solving the problem解决问题的关键 key to —— ……的关键；……的钥匙 ✅ 固定搭配：the key to + 名词/动名词（to是介词，后接doing/名词，不能接动词原形） Eye contact can mean different things in different places. For example, in northern Europe, direct eye contact is a sign that you are truly interested in what the other person is saying. If you look down and avoid eye contact, a northern European may think you are not listening to what they are saying. However, in many Asian countries, looking down when talking with an older person, like a teacher or a parent, is polite. These differences can cause problems. Suppose that an East Asian woman meets a person from northern Europe for the first time. If she avoids direct eye contact during the conversation, the northern European may think her behaviour is strange. He or she may even believe that the woman is lying, or that she is not confident. In fact, the East Asian woman is most likely showing respect and being polite. ◦ 条件状语从句 时间状语从句 eye contact — 眼神交流 例如 北欧 亚洲国家 东亚 Avoiding eye contact can cause problems, but too much eye contact is not polite either.

Do you know how deaf people communicate? 1 Read the text about Chinese Sign Language and write what the signs in the pictures mean. Chinese Sign Language Sign language is a system of communication for deaf people. It uses a mix of hand signs, facial expressions and hand movements. People from different parts of the world use different sign languages. Sign language is not simply a “silent version” of any spoken language. There is often a strong relationship between a country’s sign language and its culture. In China, the official sign language is Chinese Sign Language (CSL). Here are some simplified examples of signs from CSL: • Yes Cross your index finger¹ and middle finger of one hand, point the fingertips forwards and upwards, and press down. • Listen Raise your hand behind your ear, palm² outwards, fingers slightly curved³. • NoRaise one hand upright with the palm outwards and swing it from side to side. • Thanks Make a thumbs-up⁴ sign, and bend your thumb forward twice with a smile on your face. • Love Make a thumbs-up sign with your left hand, point it forwards and gently stroke the back of the thumb with the right hand. Remember: these descriptions are simplified. If you want to learn CSL, you can take a course or watch official training videos. There are also handbooks and other reference materials available. Do you know anyother CSL sings? No Thanks listen love Yes 4 Summary 📚 核心语法 1.
