Unit2 Body language

Debbie and Simon are students. They both have part-time jobs at a travel company.

A Well-dressed lady entered the office. She looked at Debbie and Simon, and then walked over to Debbie. Debbie gave her a cheerful greeting. “What’s the matter?” Mr Yang asked.

“People always choose choose Debbie instead of me. I don’t understand.”

“I do. It’s the way you communicate.”

“ How can that be?” Simon asked. “I don’t get a chance to speak.”“Communicating is more than just speaking. Your body language is important too.”

“Body language?”

“It’s the way you stand and sit. It’s your gestures and the expression on your face. Your whole appearance communicates things. You don’t give people a good impression, Simon. You look down, you never smile and you on’t turn your head towards them.

“Look at Debbie. She’s holding her head up. She he always smiles and looks friendly. Her body language is making people feel welcome, so they go to her for help.”

Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat ut up straight and tried smiling at people. Minutes later, a beautiful girl entered. She walked over to Simon. A few moments later, she left with a smile.

Mr Yang came over at once and said, “You made a good impression on her, Simon.”“That was my sister, “said Simon. “She wanted to remind me that that tomorrow is her birthday.”
