主題語境：人與社會 篇幅：329詞 建議用時：6分鐘

1When you're feeling confused about a problem,change your body language to bring about a different perspective.

2A recent article talks about Women of the Century who succeeded in life because of the adversity（逆境）they faced,such as former Secretary of State,Madeleine Albright and tennis great,Bill Jean King.Adversity and fear can impact your thinking,which you can combat through your body language.

3When you have obstacles or adversity such as finding a job,health issues or relationship problems,then the weight of the issues can almost literally anchor you down.Your emotions can bring about negative body language such as being fidgety（坐立不安的）,playing with cuticles,pulling at your shirt sleeve or closing in on yourself.Many times,you don't realize that you are doing it.These types of behaviors are a way to soothe（撫慰）yourself.

4To change your body language,you have to consciously monitor what your body is saying or doing when you're thinking about these heavy issues.This means that instead of playing with your fingers,grab a pen and start writing your narrative,thoughts,or feelings about the situation.Or,you can type,if you prefer,possible solutions.Instead of pacing with your shoulders rounded and hunched,lift your head and straighten your back as you pace while thinking.

5It's important to change your body language when you're feeling heavy because of the issues.Changing your body language changes the negative mindset and energy.It's like being scared when watching a horror movie,but if you change the channel or turn off the movie,then you feel better.It's a similar concept with body language.Changing from negative to positive or from closed to open body language,you're subconsciously changing some of the variables that keep in the negative mindset.I believe that you'll start to feel better because you are changing the negative energy and this will allow you to look at the situation from a different perspective.And a different perspective is the point.

Ⅱ.主題美句

1.Body language can give away a lot about your mood.肢體語言可以透露你很多的情緒信息。

2.Body language is used to express feelings.For example,we don't like someone,and it's usually difficult to make it clear to each other directly,but we can show it intentionally or unintentionally through body language.肢體語言是用來表達感受的。比如，我們不喜歡一個人，通常，（我們）很難直接將這和對方說清楚，但我們可以通過肢體語言有意或無意地把它表達出來。

3.Body language is a part of nonverbal language.It includes things like stances,gestures,facial expressions,and even small things that are barely perceptible like a brief shrug of the shoulder or nod of the head.肢體語言是非語言的一部分。它包括站姿、手勢、面部表情，以及甚至幾乎無法察覺的小事，比如短暫的聳肩或點頭。

4.There are many ways to learn to interpret body language but it must be understood that these are frequently specific to a culture.學習解讀肢體語言的方法有很多，但（我們）必須理解，這些方法通常是基于某一種特定的文化。

5.Body language is used in nearly every aspect of daily life,and observing someone can sometimes tell you a lot about how a person is feeling and what is on the person's mind.肢體語言幾乎被運用于日常生活的方方面面，觀察某個人有時可以告訴你很多關于那個人的感受和想法的信息。

6.Nonetheless,we all use various forms of body language in communication every single day,which is then interpreted by others.盡管如此，我們每天都在交流中使用各種形式的肢體語言，然后這些肢體語言會被其他人解讀。

7.The use of body language actually predates any spoken or written languages that have been created by humans.Since they do not have the same vocal anatomy and brain size to produce speech as humans do,non-human primates constantly use body language to communicate with each other in addition to vocalizations.肢體語言的使用實際上早于由人類創造的任何口頭或書面語言。由于它們沒有與人類相同的發聲結構和大腦體積來產生語言，因此非人類靈長類動物除了使用聲音外，還經常使用肢體語言進行交流。

8.No matter how engaging or interesting a speech is,if the speaker is giving off negative body language signals,then the audience is less likely to listen to what the speaker is saying.Similarly,if you're having a conversation with someone and your body language is disengaged,then it might appear as though you're disinterested in what the speaker is saying—even though you're listening.無論演講是多么引人入勝或有趣，如果演講者發出消極的肢體語言信號，那么聽眾就不太可能傾聽演講者在說什么。同樣，如果你正在與某人交談并且你的肢體語言顯得疏離，那么即使你正在傾聽，你也可能看起來對他所說的內容不感興趣。

9.Body language isn't an exact science and someone who is feeling bored or engaged might not show all of the traits listed above.However,when speaking to someone,keep an eye on their stances,gestures and how much eye contact they give to gain a better understanding of how they perceive you.肢體語言不是一門嚴謹的科學，感到無聊或投入的人可能不會表現出以上列出的所有特征。但是，在與某人交談時，請注意他們的站姿、手勢以及他們給予多少眼神交流，從而更好地了解他們對你的看法。
