4 tips about body language mentioned in the video!
Make sure that you are using the correct posture. (This shows confidence.)
Make sure to make eye contact. (This makes audience know you are looking at them.)
Make sure to use hand gestures. (This makes you feel more comfortable and connect to your audience.)
Make sure to use facial expressions. (This connects emotions (情感) with your audience.)

Talking about improving body language
in presentations
While-learning
One student is practising his presentation in front of two classmates. Read the dialogue and learn how to make and accept suggestions. Pay attention to the expressions in blue.
P27
S1: ... How can I improve my presentation?
S2: I liked it, but maybe you should think about your body language.
S1: OK, what do you think I should do?
S2: You look a bit nervous when you speak. I think you should try to
breathe slowly and relax. Besides, you're always looking at your
notes. If you want to connect with your audience, you'd better
make more eye contact with them.
S1: Oh, that's a good suggestion!
S3: Also, why don't you try using gestures to emphasize your points?
S1: That's a good idea!
S3: You didn't keep your back straight during your presentation. If I
were you, I would stand up straight.
S1: I'll try that next time. Thank you both!
If you want to connect with your audience, you'd better
make more eye contact with them.
如果你想和你的听众建立联系,你最好多和他们眼神
交流。
connect with sb. 和某人建立关系
eye contact 眼神交流
emphasize the points 强调要点
keep one's back straight 挺直后背
Three students are giving presentations in class. How can they improve their body language? Choose one of the situations below and role-play making and accepting suggestions.
P27
Wu Di is looking at the whiteboard all the time. He is not looking at the audience.
Han Li is looking down while she is talking. She is also playing with her hair as she speaks.
Wang Jun is very nervous, and his hands are shaking during the presentation.
S1: I am not so skilled at making presentation.
S2: I noticed that. Maybe you should think about your body
language.
S1: OK, what do you think I should do?
S2: You look a bit uneasy when you speak. You're looking at
the whiteboard all the time. If you want to connect with
your audience, you'd better make more eye contact with
them.
S1: OK, thanks. I'll try that next time.
Situation 1
S1: How can I improve my presentation?
S2: Well, You're looking down while you're talking. It makes
you look unconfident. I think you should hold your head
up when you talk to others.
S1: I see. That's a good suggestion!
S2: Also, You're always playing with your hair while you're
speaking. This is a bit disrespectful to the audience. Why
not try to stop doing this?
S1: You're right. Thank you for your suggestions.
Situation 2
S1: What do you think of my presentation?
S2: Pretty good. But there is one point you can improve next
time.
S1: OK, what's that?
S2: Hhh ... You seem nervous when you give the presentation
because your hands are shaking during it. If you want to
look more confident and relaxed to listeners, you'd better
overcome that. You can take a deep breath to relax yourself
before you start.
S1: It makes sense. Thanks. I'll try that next time.
Situation 3

do. We also need to know how to accept suggestions. Here are some common expressions:
