老师：Hello everyone. Nice to see you again. Today we are going to talk about body language. In this class, you will read about the function of body language and its implications in different cultures. Practice making inferences by looking at the clues in the passage. Also, you will think critically about body language by relating it to your own culture and personal experiences.
老师：Let's get started. To begin with, I would like to invite you to think on this question. What is the function of language? Sure. One of the main functions of language is to communicate with people and understand them. Then suppose we are living in the cell in the world. How will you communicate with each other? Sure, you may say through writing. Yes, we can use written language to express our thoughts and opinions. Also we could use our body language to convey messages, etc. Cool. Just as Roland bars one said, what I had by my language, my body orders. Do you agree with him? Do you think if it's true that I can do everything with my language but not with my body? Well in anyways it is pretty important for us to understand our own body language and that of others. So hope after this lesson you will become more aware of the importance of popular language.
老师：Here are some basic sentences we usually say in our daily conversations. Can you try to choose 5 sentences and act them out without speaking. You can begin now. Okay, this time I am going to pick 5 sentences and act them out without speaking. Can you take a guess what I'm trying to communicate? Let's begin.
老师：The first one, the second one, third one, fourth one, and the last one. Alright, let's check the mouse together. So the first one is hello. Second one, I'm tired. Third one, come here. Fourth one, you are great. And the last one, I'm happy. So how many types of body language do you find in my performance? Right? You may say I see a smile, cuz you're a mouse wide open. They are what we say facial expressions. And you see me waving my hand. You see me gave a thumb up. They are what we say gestures. So did you get them all right? Probably yes, probably no. So what's the reason for that? When do we need to use our body language to communicate? Then under what circumstances we do not? Let's see if we can find out the answer to the question from this text. Before you rate, look at the picture on this page. What do you think the young lady might want to convey with her body language? Yes, you may say this lady is showing a gesture of okay, which might mean agreement. Then look at the title of the text.
老师：Listening to how bodies talk. What do you think will be talk about in the text here? Pay attention to these two keywords, bodies, talk. Yes, it may introduce what is body language to us and how do we use our body
