These pictures are from the Evening Party Celebrating the coming Lunar New Year of the Rooster of 2005. Ss: Yes, Thousands of Hands Kwan-yin. T: But do you know who she is? Yes, she was the leading dancer of the program. Her name is Tai Lihua（邰麗華）. She is called a Fairy of Peach blossom(桃花仙子) by people. You know she is a deaf girl, but she is a wise, diligent, charming and energetic girl. She studied very hard and got two degrees of bachelors in university. She was famous as an artist for her wonderful performance. She is deaf and dumb. But how did she get that great achievement and became a successful person? She loves life very much. We should learn from her spirit. Besides her hard working, body language plays a very important part in her life. We are all healthy people, sometimes we can use body language to express ourselves. So we should pay more attention to learning body languages.

Bow your head. Make a face to each other.Bend / cry / shout / scream / smile / laugh .T: All right. Now lets do them a little bit difficult. Lets play a game together. Those who fail to follow the rule of the game will be dropped out. The game is: “Simon says”. For example, if I say “Simon says, touch your head”, then you touch your head. If not, you shouldnt touch your head but remain still. Clear? Ready? Now lets start.3 or 5 minutes for the game.T: Ok. Its time to take up the lesson. Please look at the screen. Lets take a look at the following gestures:GestureActionMeaningA handshake You are welcome.A clap of handCome on; be cheerful.A V-shape of the fore-finger and middle fingerMay you succeed!Or congratulations on your success!A half-closed hand with thumb downI am not in favor of your idea or Ill have to refuse you.A wrinkling of the brow in thought or displeasure or a scowlShe is worried.Tears coming out of his eyes.He is very sad.All smiles on her faceShe is very happy.Waving their handsThey are waving goodbye to people around.A hand stretched out forward with strengthHe is stopping a tank.People jump with their both hands stretched open in the air.They are cheering for the victory.T: What are the actions of the above gestures? What do they mean?S4: The first gesture is a handshake, which means “Youre welcome”.S5: The second is a handclap, which means “Come on” or “Be cheerful” or something like that.S6: The third one is a V-shaped posture of the first finger and the middle finger, which suggests a wish for the other or others to succeed.S7: The fourth is a half-closed hand with the thumb down. It means the one who gives this gesture is against the others idea or simply refuses the request.S8: The fifth is a worried look of a woman. She wrinkles her brows or frowns. It also seems that she scowls. It shows that she is worried or sad. In other words, she is unhappy.S9: The sixth is a man shedding tears. Tears were running down his cheeks. He is very sad for losing his relatives or sad for his failure.S10: The seventh is a smiling face. It is easy to see that she is very happy.S11: The eighth is a gesture of waving hands.

S13: The tenth is hands stretched out upward. They are all very cheerful. They are wild with joy; maybe they have just won a game. So we can see that they are cheering for their victory.T: You have all done a good job. So you see that there are many cases or situations in which body language can convey meanings as well as spoken or written languages. If you want to know more about it, lets come to Unit 4 Body Language.Step PracticeT: Look at the chart on Page 25. Here is a list. On the left side are feelings or ideas. You are asked to add three of your own. Make notes on the right side of the chart and then act them out to see how you would make someone understand these feelings and ideas without speaking. Do it with your partner first. And then some of you will be asked to the front of the classroom to act them out.MeaningAction1. You are welcome.A smile and a handshake.2. I am worried.A frowned or upset look.3. I ate too muchPutting a hand on the stomach, patting or rubbing.4. I am sorry that I did something wrong.Drooping or hanging the head.5. Im so happy.A loud laughter with a shining face or smiling with arms open and head back.6. You did a good job.A thumb up.7. You are angry.Turning your back to someone on purpose.8. Stop here.Putting the left palm on the forefinger of the right hand.Demonstration:The students can be allowed to act out the feelings or ideas without following the order in the chart so that it may be more challenging as well as more interesting.Step Time for FunT: Now lets play a game in groups of four. One thinks of a situation and asks the others to show some actions using body language. When the one chooses the action that is most likely, it is his or her turn to think of some other situation for the others to show the actions so that the game may go on for a few rounds. Clear? Ss: Yes. Thats funny!T: Try to make the situations as interesting and enjoyable as you can. And show the situation as lively as possible. Besides, make sure that everyone has a turn.Ss: All right.S1: What are you likely to do if it rains?(Actions) S2: reads a book; S3: puts on a raincoat; S4: cleans the house.S1: Ok. I think S3 seems the most likely, so it is his turn.S3: What are you likely to do if the river floods?(Actions) S1: runs away as fast as he can; S2: helps the younger or elder to escape as soon as possible; S4: climbs on to a tree.S3: Ok.

I think S1 seems the most likely, so we all have done a good job.T: Yes. I couldnt agree with you. Now, one more group.Step V TalkingGet the students to work in pairs. The situation is that you are worried about Lin Pei, who is not friendly any more, and does not want to talk to you or her other friends. She seems to be sad. She stays alone. She is not doing her homework and the teacher is not pleased with her. She doesnt seem to care about how she looks and behaves.T: Now class, work in pair. Discuss Lin Peis behavior. Think about the problems she might have. Describe her “body language” or the behavior that shows how she feels. Three minutes for you.T: All right, whod like to describe or act out Lin Peis behavior?S1: I think there is something wrong with her. When I saw her recently, she would turn away from me and would not speak to me. (Miming the action)S2: Yes, when I saw her in class, she looked as if she had been crying. And she would not even look at me. She just looked straight out of the window. She seemed as if she could see nobody in her eyes. (Miming the action)S3: I quite agree. When I met her at the school gate and tried to have a word with her, she just bent down her head and passed me as if she hadnt noticed me. (Miming the action)S4: I couldnt agree with you more! This morning, when I went close to her, trying to start a conversation between us, she crossed her arms in front of her and didnt look at me. And then she turned away immediately. (Miming the action)T: Good job. Now class, lets try to think of a way to help her out, OK?Ss: Yes, Sir.Step Role Play (Speaking task on P67)T: Now, theres still a little time left. Lets come to Speaking Task on Page 67. Were given two situations. For each situation, prepare a role-play with your partner. Use both spoken words and body language to express your ideas. Then explain to the class what the differences are in Western and Chinese languages, and what they mean. The first two sentences have been given in the text.Work in pairs1.
