Unit One Body Language The first Period (PPT1-7) I. Lead-in Part T: What do we do if we want to communicate with others? S: … T: Yes, we use our language, but spoken language isn’t everything. Suppose you want to tell your partner who stands far away from you that he has done a good job, what will you do then? (Ask one student to give the gesture) T: Yes, under such circumstances, we tend to use another kind of language which is also very important. Do you know what it is? S: Body Language T: Great! And that’s what we will discuss in this unit. Now first let’s look at some examples of body language. PPT A( facial expressions：1. read the new words 2.finish the exercise 3. then ask one student to come to the front and give the facial expressions, other students speak out the name for each expression) PPT B,C (guess work, 自创：I LOVE CLASS 4) T: It seems that without the help of language you can still make sense of what they want to express so we can easily draw the conclusion that bodies can talk and sometimes they even speak louder than mouths. Now can you think of some situations where people tend to use more body languages than spoken ones? (PPT) T: Now we know that communicating is more than speaking and listening. Our body language is important too. Actually, Some experts say only 30 percent of communication comes from talking. That is perhaps why, in many situations, the way you say something is far more important than the thing you say. The story we will read today just gives us such a living example of how important body language is in giving people a good impression. II. While-reading A. Skimming and scanning 1) What is skimming? Skimming is a reading strategy. When we skim a piece of reading, we read it very quickly in order to get the general idea of the reading. When we skim, we skip the unimportant parts. Therefore, when we skim, we usually only look at titles and headings, pictures and diagrams, and important sentences (usually the first and last sentences of a paragraph) in the reading. Skimming takes only a minute or two, and it helps us get the general outline of the reading and follow the writer’s idea more easily. It is a way to prepare us for a better and detailed understanding of the writer’s ideas. Skim the story and look at the photo on the next page, and then try to answer the following questions. 1. what is the main topic of the story? (body language) 2. Where does the story take place? (at a travel agency) 3. Who are the people sitting down? (Debbie and Simon) 4. Who gives the customers a better impression? (Debbie) B.
