U1Reading  Body language
Read this story in a school newspaper. Debbie and Simon are college students. They have part-time jobs at a travel agency. They are sitting in the office.
Debbie and Simon looked up as a well-dressed lady entered. The lady glanced at them both, then walked over to  greeted her cheerfully. The lady said, ‘I want to go by train to…’
Simon sighed and took some papers over to the fax machine. Mr. Young, a senior employee, was standing there. ‘What’s up, Simon You don’t look very happy.’
‘People always prefer Debbie to me. I can’t understand it.’
‘I can. It’s the way you communicate.’
‘How can that be I don’t even get a chance to speak to them.’
‘Communicating is more than speaking and listening. Your body language is important, too.’
‘Body language’
‘It’s the way you stand and sit. It’s your gestures and the expression on your face and in your eyes. Your whole appearance communicates things. The way you look at people doesn’t give them a good impression,Simon. You often rest your head on your hand. You look downwards. You never smile. You don’t turn your head or body towards people. Look at Debbie. She’s holding her head up. She looks at people’s eyes. She smiles. Your body language is telling people to go away. Debbie’s body language is making them feel welcome. That’s why they go to her for assistance, and not to you.’
After that, Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat up and smiled at people. This seemed to work. Minutes later, a very beautiful girl entered. She looked at Debbie and then Simon. Without hesitation she went to Simon and gave him a big smile. A few moments later, she left, still smiling.
Mr. Young came over at once and remarked, ‘You made a good impression on her.’
‘That was my sister,’ said Simon. ‘She wanted to remind me that tomorrow is her birthday.’

U1MR  Eye contact
Eye contact is a form of communication which can mean different things in different cultures. Read this article about eye contact on a website.
Thoughout the history of mankind, people have communicated with body language. In many situations, the way you say something is far more important than what you say.
Eye contact is sometimes the key to communication. It can signal friendliness or hostility, interest or boredom, and understanding or confusion.
In Western cultures, maintaining eye contact in conversations is necessary. As a matter of fact, a westerner might consider a lack of eye contact as a lack of interest. In Spain, Italy and Greece, where people stand clost together talking to each other, eye contact is more frequent and lasts longer.
In many Asian cultures, avoiding eye contact shows respect. It is done when talking with anyone in authority or with anyone older.
Habits like this can cause problems when people do not understand them. For instance, an
Asian might close his eyes in concentration or look down while listening to a speaker. A Western speaker might think the man is not interested.
Eye contact is a subtle thing. Avoiding eye contact might be considered impolite, but staring at others is also considered rude and should be avoided.
