    People around the world use different Ways to communicate. We communicate with each other not only through 1 but also through body language. Because body language is so 2. You'll have to know what yours means and what other people's means. Here are some examples 3 body language.

    If you drop down heavily and your head is down, this may 4 that you are sad or not happy. If you sit with a smiling face and look 5, you are expressing friendliness. A smile is a way of expressing friendliness and interest. But people 6 smile just to be polite. Friendliness and interest are expressed when a person's eyes 7 yours, especially when you're talking. A person who doesn't 8 you is showing that he is not interested in your talk.

    Hand gestures can mean a person is interested in the conversation. But repeated (重复的) movements, like hitting a pencil lightly against something again and again, often mean the person is 9 or not patient. Stay away from someone who 10 at you while talking with you — that person might be angry with you or feel better than you.

    Sandwich was an Englishman. He lived in the 18th century. Sandwich was rich(有钱的), but he liked to play cards for money. He often played for 24 hours, and didn't even stop to have his meals. He ordered his servants(仆人) to bring him some meat and bread. He put the meat between the two pieces of bread and held the food in his left hand while he played cards with his right hand. People liked Sandwich's idea, and from then on they ate bread and meat as Sandwich did.

    From the name of the man, Sandwich, we have the word of the food "sandwich" today.

    Body language matters more than you think. You applied for a good school. You had written the perfect self-introduction, sent it directly to the school and finally you got an interview. You prepared well for both information about the school and the interviewers, practising a lot on interview questions and answers. During your interview, things went well. You answered all the questions perfectly. However, the last word you heard from your interviewer was "goodbye" as you left the room.

    What went wrong? Maybe you have got your body language for the interview wrong. Less than 10％ of what we really communicate comes from the way of spoken communication, with the rest coming from how we say it, how we speak, how we sit and what we look like. Slouch (无精打采) in your chaff and you look bored and uninterested. Cross your arms and you look unfriendly. Sitting up Straight means that you are interested and listening.

    If you want to succeed in your school interview, get your body language right and make sure what you say sounds polite. Interviewers care about not only what you say but also how you say it in a right way.
