Background Information (5)

• From above, we get only a glimpse of how
  important and also how complex the body language
  is.
• We use body language daily, almost
  instinctively. Without it, our world would be
  static and colorless.
• The acquisition of body language, however, is
  different from that of the verbal language. It
  is closely connected with the specific culture in
  which the body language exists and is exercised.

11
Background Information (6)

• Just like there are a great myriad of languages
  around the world, the whole spectrum of body
  languages world-wild is much more complex
  against the cultural background. As the global
  village continues to shrink and cultures collide,
  it is essential for all of us to become more
  sensitive, more aware, and more observant to body
  languages that surround us each day. And as many
  of us cross over cultural borders, it would be
  fitting for us to respect, learn, and understand
  more about the effective, yet powerful "silent
  language" of body language.

12
Background Information (7)

• The following two pictures are of different
  cultural backgrounds, and make your own judgment
  for each of them and select the right answer from
  the choices available.
• Note
• the first picture is from Japan
• the second picture is from France

that C. I am looking at a very handsome man
15
Warming-up Activities (1)

• Q Can we communicate without words?
• A Yes. Words are only part of the
  communicating tools people use. Scientific study
  reveals an appealing fact that up to 93 of
  communication are conducted by non-verbal means,
  for example, tone of voice, eye movement,
  posture, hand gestures, facial expressions and
  more,which are generally called body language.

16
Warming-up Activities (2)

• Q How long does it take us to judge the
• people we meet?
• A According to the passage, we judge other
  people within the first seven seconds of meeting
  them. But things are not always the same with
  everybody. As far as I am concerned, I wont make
  a thorough judgment of others until Im very
  familiar with them. However, I must admit that
  the first impression is really very important. It
  can greatly affect my judgments on others.

17
Warming-up Activities (3)

• Q What is one way you can have a positive
• effect on other people?
• A In my opinion, the key to being the best
  person is try to be oneself. In order to do that,
  I tend to see myself in perspective. In other
  words, I am so clear about my strong and weak
  points as to grow more and more into a fullness
  of my own. At the same time, I try to think as
  much of others as of myself. Only in this way can
  I have much chance to create a peaceful climate of

21
Text Analysis (1)

• In this unit, we come to know that body language,
  which we use consciously or unconsciously,
  decides to a large extent the quality of our
  communication. To leave a good impression behind,
  say, at a job interview, it is important that we
  know, and to some degree can control our body
  language. Furthermore, we learn that in different
  cultures, there are different system of body
  language. We cant assume we know what a gesture
  means. If you want to make a good impression on
  others, just remember the four letters F-O-U-R,
  which stands for Relaxed, Open, Leaning and Eye
  contact.

22
Text Analysis (2)

• In reading Passage A, the writer presents the
  reader his ideas about how to make a good
  impression with a general statement that is
  supported by a list of examples.
• This is one of the most common ways to support an
  idea or an opinion, very effectively, especially
  for a short paragraph.
• The key points for this kind of structure are

23
Text Analysis (3)

• 1.You have to list examples, just by naming them.
  It is not necessary to go into details about the
  examples, as the list of examples is quite enough
  to support the point.
• 2. All the examples in the list must be
  supporting the point you are making.
• Look at the example we selected from Paragraph 2
  Think about some of your most unforgettable
  meetings an introduction to your future spouse,
  a job interview, an encounter with a stranger.

24
Text Analysis (4)

• Here the writer only mentions three kinds of
  meetings an introduction to your future spouse,
  a job interview, an encounter with a stranger.
  The writer does not go into details about each of
  the examples mentioned, as such is considered to
  be enough to serve the purpose for the
  development of the passage at that stage.

25
Text Analysis (5)

  minds about people through unspoken communication
  within seven seconds of meeting them.

• Focus a paragraph of a statement supported by a
  list of things.
• A general statement of a point can be supported
  by some examples as we have in Unit 3, but a
  general statement can be also supported by a list
  of things which are also examples. Lets look at
  Paragraph 2 in Unit 4.
• Think about some of your most unforgettable
  meetings an introduction to your future spouse,
  a job interview, an encounter with a stranger.

• Notes Examples can be introduced by for
  example or for instance but it is also
  possible to introduce a list of examples by a
  colon as in the example above.

Development by Listing (3)

• The following paragraph, which is mainly
  descriptive, contains many details. It starts
  with a topic sentence. Then details are given to
  back up the opening statement. This is the
  general-to-specific pattern.

59
Development by Listing (4)

• My little niece, a ten-month-old baby, is the
  most lovely child I have even seen. Her face is
  like a red apple and her eyes are like bright
  stars. When you carry her in your arms, she likes
  to put her arms around your neck. All the
  grownups in the family love her very much and
  often try to make her smile. But quite often it
  is she who makes us laugh. Once I winked at her
  and she smiled. When I did it again, she watched
  me attentively. Then she tried to imitate. While
  we closed one eye to wink, she had to close both
  eyes at the same time, and then quickly opened
  them again. And that was her way to wink. We all
  burst into laughter. When we looked at her again,
  she was staring at us, puzzled, as if she was
  asking What are you laughing at?
• ---- student

Development by Listing (5)

• Another possible arrangement of details (or
  examples) in a paragraph is from the specific to
  the general. The details are mentioned first, and
  the general statement, which may be the topic
  sentence, comes at the end of the paragraph,
  summarizing the min idea of the paragraph.

61
Development by Listing (6)

• Whether you do or do not open a gift in the
  presence of the giver whether you should or
  should not turn the plate over to look at the
  makers symbol on the back whether you put your
  coat on before or after you leave the hosts
  house whether you eat as quietly or as noisily
  as possible whether you carry on a conversation
  during a meal whether you walk in front of or
  behind a seated person whether it is a friendly
  or an offensive gesture to put your hand on the
  arm of the person with whom you are talking
  these and a thousand other questions are matters
  of cultural definition. None of them is
  inherently right or wrong, and none is good or
  bad manner except as a society defines it so.

Reading Comprehension (1)

• Q According to the first paragraph, a snap
  judgment is ________________________.
• A I liked him the minute I saw him! Before
  she even said a word, I knew there was something
  funny about her. Such statements are examples of
  snap judgments, opinions which are formed
  suddenly, seemingly on no sound reason at all.
  Most people say snap judgments are unsound or
  even dangerous. They also admit they often make
  snap judgments and find them to be fairly sound.

65
Reading Comprehension (2)

• Q People become familiar with each other
  through talking because they believe ________.
  
• A Snap judgments like love at first sight or
  instant hate, if taken seriously, have usually
  been considered signs of immaturity or lack of
  common sense. When someone has a feeling about
  someone else, people more often laugh than pay
  attention. Most people think you find out about a
  person by listening to what he says over a period
  of time. Others say actions speak louder than
  words, usually in relation to keeping promises,
  paying bills or sending money home.

66
Reading Comprehension (3)

• Q Research shows that, while speech is important
  in forming opinions, ___________________.
• A Because people assume you are what you say
  you are, they talk a lot to become acquainted
  with each other. Once two people have become
  acquainted, they think it was their conversation
  that gave them their information about each other.

67
Reading Comprehension (4)

• Q According to researchers, "snap judgments" are
  partly the result of __________________.
• A As behavioral sciences develop, however,
  researchers find the importance of speech has
  been overestimated. Although speech is the most
  obvious form of communication, we do use other
  forms of which we may be only partially aware or,
  in some cases, completely unaware. It is possible
  we are unconsciously sending messages with every
  action, messages which are unconsciously picked
  up by others and used in forming opinions. These
  unconscious actions and reactions to them may in
  part account for our feelings and snap
  judgments.

68
Reading Comprehension (5)

• Q Paragraph 7 is mainly about ______________.
  
• A Two of the most telling forms of behavior
  are driving a car and playing games. Notice a
  persons reaction to stress in these situations
  and to aggressive behavior in others. Those who
  easily become angry, excited, passive or
  resentful when driving or playing may be giving
  insights into the inside self.

69
Reading Comprehension (6)

• Q According to the passage, if an
  eleven-year-old girl dresses like a college
  student, she may probably ___________.
• A While clothing serves a purely practical
  function, how you dress also communicates many
  things about your social status, state of mind
  and even your aspirations and dreams. The
  eleven-year-old girl who dresses like a college
  student and the forty-year-old woman who dresses
  like a teenager are saying something through what
  they wear. What you communicate through your kind
  of dress definitely influences others to accept
  the picture of yourself you are projecting in
  the business world, the person who dresses like a
  successful manager is most likely to be promoted
  into a managing position.
