Everyone wants to be perfect. Finding a good way to achieve self-improvement (自我提高) is more and more popular. For this, the beginning of a new year is a great time to think about ways that you can improve in the coming year. Here are some suggestions for New Year’s resolutions(决定).

Firstly, make sure your goal is realistic(现实的). Winning the lottery(彩票), for example, may not come true. Then, describe your resolutions in detail, instead of “I don’t want to be lazy”, “ I want to exercise every day” or “I will cut down on my television watching”. At last, break down large goals into small ones. For example, if you want to lose weight, you can start by joining a gym or improving your eating habits.

Your New Year’s resolutions and goals can be about anything, from saving more money so that you can buy a really cool toy that you like, to making more friends, or to spending more time with your family. Start by writing down some goals on a piece of paper. After you finish, keep the paper somewhere you can see, like on your fridge or a wall in your room. Don’t forget to check the things on the paper that you have completed as some time passes.

In 50 years of traveling, Colin McCorpuodale has visited every country in the world except three. And everywhere he goes, he sends himself a postcard.

Did you know that about 55% of communication is unspoken, so in fact, our bodies are actually saying more than our words. I find that the key to a successful conversation in any language is to speak to people not only in their spoken language but also with the body language they know best.

Britain, along with much of Northern Europe, has a non-touch culture, so personal space is very important. In a formal(正式的) situation, we would usually greet each other with a handshake. Informally, but not so often, my British friends and I would greet with a hug. Hardly ever would we greet with a kiss on the cheek, let alone a hug and two kisses on the cheek!

Here in the south of Italy, and in many different parts of the world, both men and women greet with two kisses on the cheek, use a lot of hand signs and often touch each other. In other words, little personal space is left between people when communicating.

At university, I have learnt to successfully communicate in spoken Italian. And since I moved to live with the local people, I have also started to pick up their body language. Sometimes, I find myself not knowing what hand signs to use when expressing myself. However, what I know for sure is that I would miss the opportunity to fully put myself in the Italian culture if I keep my personal space unbroken.

Here are 5 body language tips in Italy;

● Use different signs; head, arms and hands.

● Use facial expressions. Always smile at people! It is said that smiling is the most powerful unspoken way to communicate friendliness.

● Use eye contact , because "the eyes are the window to the soul."

● Don't worry about personal space. Italians are a people who like to use the sense of touch, so moving away or keeping your distance may be considered as being unfriendly.

● Touch. When meeting and leaving, always shake hands.
