She looked at Debbie and Simon, and then walked over to Debbie. Debbie gave her a cheerful greeting. Simon sighed and walked away. “What’s the matter?” Mr Yang asked. “People always choose Debbie instead of me. I don’t understand.” “ I do. It’s the way you communicate.” “How can that be?” Simon asked. “ I don’t get a chance to speak.” “Communicating is more than just speaking. 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. Your whole appearance communicates things. You don’t give people a good impression, Simon. You look down, you never smile and you don’t turn your head towards them. “Look at Debbie. She’s holding her head up. She always smiles and looks friendly. Her body language is making people feel welcome, so they go to her for help.” Simon decided to improve his body language. He sat up straight and tried smiling at people. Minutes later, a beautiful girl entered. She walked over to Simon. A few moments later, she left with a smile. Mr Yang came over at once and said, “You made a good impression on her, Simon.” “That was my sister,” said Simon. “She wanted to remind me that tomorrow is her birthday.” Vocabulary C1 Find words from the story on page 19 that have similar meanings to the words below. 1. wearing nice clothes 2. a polite word for a woman 3. the look on one’s face 4. the way someone or something looks 5. keeping something in a place well-dressed lady expression appearance holding C2 Later that day, Simon was talking with his mother.
