When we speak,we use much more than just words. We also communicate with our face,our hands and even our own body. This kind of communication can be called body language. In our daily life,between 60% and 80% of all our communication with other people is by body language. We really must learn to speak with our body well! Here is some advice on body language.
The main thing is to be natural. Trying too hard to use body language will make you seem a bit strange. Instead,you should allow your body language to naturally follow your words. If you say something positive,then your face,body and hands should show it too. If you are expressing a sad or worried feeling,then your face,body and hands should change with that feeling.
Let’s talk about hand gestures(手势). Using our hands,we can remind our listener how many main points we have and let our listener know when we are changing topics. A movement of the hand can show how important something is. We can even use two fingers,either close together or far apart,to show how big something is. To show very strong feeling we could clap our hands together loudly or make a fist(握拳) and hit a table or desk. To show that we welcome someone,on the other hand,we can hold our hands out with the palms(手心) up and maybe move them towards a chair to invite someone to sit next to us.
Of course,we can also use our fingers to count,but be careful. People in some countries do not count the same way as Chinese. In France,for example,people do not count one by holding up their first finger. Instead,they hold up their thumb(拇指). In Japan,some people put their thumb down (with the four fingers up) to mean one! This can create confusion sometimes,so be sure not to use only body language. Use words too,so that your listener will be sure to understand you.
