Unit 4 Body language教案

t: perfect! body language is used anytime and anywhere to convey people’s ideas, feelings, information, and so on and so forth. next question?
s2: even if they don’t speak, i can tell if they are sad by
looking at their facial expressions. i’m a good mind-reader. (smiling)
s3: yes, that is quite easy. just by watching their frowned brows, their long faces, we know that they are unhappy.
t: very good. we have got two “mind readers” in our class; i’m sure there are more than two! now who’d like to give the answer to the third question?
s4: let me try, sir / madam. i’ll try to use body language to tell the other what i need urgently. i’ll do it by miming, by any proper posture, or gestures, even by drawing pictures.
t: you are smart! now who’d like to do the last one. it is more challenging, right?
s5: i’d like to have a try, sir. last summer i went on a study tour in the states. when i was on the way to
los angeles on the flight of the united airlines, we stopped at tokyo / narita airport in japan for 3 hours. so i went into the shop at the airport, for i wanted to buy a digital camera. of course i knew no japanese, so i spoke to her in chinese first and then in english. it seemed that she was at a loss when i spoke to her. then i decided to try it in body language. i just pointed to the camera that i like most-sony cyber-shot dsc-p100. the salesgirl spoke to me in japanese this time but i couldn’t understand a word of it. so i shook my head and kept pointing at the camera. finally i reached her understanding and she took out the camera i wanted to buy. i examined it for a little while and asked her the price of it by drawing a big “?” in the air with my forefinger. she took out her calculator and put in the price. the price was reasonable and i decided to take it. i paid for it and the salesgirl bowed to me again and again.
t: wonderful! thank you for telling us so interesting a true story and giving us so good an example of body language.
