If the eyes are the windows of the soul,then the body is the mirror (镜子)of our feelings. If we are feeling great,we may give our body signals. If we look at someone else's body,we can often tell how they are feeling by their body signals. So reading body language signals is a great tool (工具)in daily communication.

  In case (假使)you don't think that learning how to read and use body language is important,here are some numbers for you. 7% of the information we receive is from what people actually say,and 38% of the information we receive is from the tone (语气)and the speed of their voice ; while 55% of the information we receive is from their body language.

  These non-verbal (非口头的)signals will help you a lot,but you still need to pay attention to what people are saying. If you pay too much attention to their body language signals,you and the person may feel uncomfortable. It is useful to be able to read people's body language , but it is useful to learn how to send the right signals and avoid the wrong signals,too. Body language may be given several interpretations (解释).Many signals have different meanings,depending on the person and the situation. Be sure of it when you are trying to read a body language signal.

 Can you swim? Do you like swimming? Well,how can you learn to swim? I think the best way is to go into the water and learn. I'm afraid you'll never learn to swim just by reading books about swimming or looking at others swimming. It's the same with the English study. We must practice,practice and practice.

  Listening and speaking are very important for beginners. We can listen to English programs on the radio. You may just understand a few words. It doesn't matter. Just be relaxed,and try to catch every word.

  Somebody may be a good listener,but he is afraid to speak because he's afraid of making mistakes. You know we sometimes make mistakes when we speak Chinese. Don't be afraid. We must be brave. If you really want to learn English well,you must try to speak with everyone as long as he knows English. When there's nobody to talk with,you can talk to yourself in English. It's interesting and also a good way to practice your spoken English. Remember , the more you speak , the fewer mistakes you'll make.

  Reading and writing are more important for senior(年级较高的)school students. First we must choose the books we're interested in. A lot of reading will improve your language sense. This is very important.

  It's easier said than done. Well,let's do more practice from now on. Fm sure you'll learn English well in this way.
