We can communicate not only true words but also through body language. Body language concludes our posture, facial expressions and gestures. Because body language is so important. you will want to know what yours is saying and how to interpret other people's, too. Here are some examples of body language and its meaning. If you posture is slumped and your head is down, this could mean that you are sad or you lack confidence. If your posture is straight but relaxed, you are expressing confidence and friendliness. A smile is a sign of friendliness and interest. But people sometimes smile just to be polite. To get another clue from people's faces, notice their eyes. Friendliness and interest are expressed when a person's eyes meet yours and then look away and meet yours again. A person who doesn't look away is expressing a challenge. A person who doesn't look at you is expressing lack of interest or shyness. Hand gestures can mean a person is interested in the conversation. But repeated movements- like tapping a pencil or tapping a foot- often mean the person is either impatient or nervous. Stay away from someone who points at you while talking with you: that person might be angry at you or feel superior to you. Which of the options is NOT body language? A. posture B. words C. gestures D. facial expressions According to the writer, if you want to express your confidence, you should ________. A. smile B. look away C. stand straight but relaxingly D.
