Section Ⅲ Lesson 2 & Lesson 3 — PrereadingBODY LANGUAGE SPEAKS FOR ITSELFIf you saw a father patting his son on the back while smiling happily, what would you think was going on？ ① You would probably think that the father was congratulating② his son on doing something well, maybe passing an exam or winning a race. You would know what was going on because you understood the message conveyed by the father's body language③. Across the world, a pat on the back and a smile usually means，“Well done”．Body language is used every single day by people of different nationalities all over the world. It is a language without words that consists of gestures, facial expressions and body movements that greatly add to — and sometimes even replace — spoken language④. Body language is used to⑤ communicate⑥ both attitudes and feelings from affection to anger just like any other language, but it differs from⑦ spoken language as it is not always explicit⑧.
