Every day, in hundreds of ordinary situations, actions speak far louder than words. We
talk with our mouth, but we communicate with our facial expressions, our tone of voice and
our whole body.
36 When we can read what others are saying unconsciously, we can deal with
things---at work and at home before they become problems.
By understanding how to use body language, you can communicate more effectively.
Here is how:
▲ 37 Throughout the day, notice details about the way you speak, gesture and
move. When standing, keep your shoulders straight, your body open and your weight bal-
anced on both feet.
▲Work on your handshake. 38 The handshake most likely to show confidence is
firm and dry, with strong but not too much pressure.
▲Use eye contact. Eye contact is very important in forming an impression of someone.
You should have the abilityto keep direct eye contact if you want to be taken seriously, But
some people feel uncorufortable hen it is too strong. 39
▲Be yourself. Nonverbal(非言语的)messages come from deep inside you, from your
own sense of self-respect. If you are comforta:ble with yourself, it shows. 40 They always
give others a deep impression.
A. Use hand gestures carefully.
B. Pay attention to your body-talk.
C.A mirror can be useful to examine facial expressions.
D. People wlho know who they are have a relaxed way of talking and moving.
E. In the Jousiness world, the handshake shows important messages about power.
F. Understancling hody language is one of the most useful skills you can develop.
G.To avoicl this problem, change your focus so that you look at somewhere between the
eyes and the chin.
