Question

Body language does not use words. It is communication with the movement or position of your body. The way you stand, a hand gesture, a big smile. In order to understand body language better, you should know the following rules.

Eye contact: Look into a person’s eyes during a conversation. It makes your opinion more believable. Most people like to have eye contact with their listeners.

Smile: Smile when you talk to somebody. It is not only polite but also makes you feel relaxed.

Stand up straight and tall: It shows your respect to others. It also makes you more confident.

Don’t cross your arms. This means you are upset and uncomfortable. Keep your arms open and you will feel more relaxed.

Don’t slouch in your chair. It shows that you are not interested in what others say. Sit up straight and lean a little forward to look more interested.

Don’t touch your face in a conversation. It shows that you are not confident of your words. You’d better put your hands along the sides of your body.
