It is said that our body movements municate about 50 per cent of what we really mean while words themselves only express 7 per cent. So, while your mouth is closed, your body is just saying... Arms. How you hold your arms shows how open and receptive you are to people you meet. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, this suggests you are not afraid of taking on whatever es your way. Outgoing people generally use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you39。re unhappy! Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are the monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously.

Proverbs are popular around the world. Many listeners have sent us their favorite proverbs. They give advice about how to live. We begin with two popular proverbs about staying healthy by eating good food. One is An apple a day keeps the doctor away. The other is You are what you eat. Several proverbs about birds also give advice. You may have heard this one: The early bird catches the worm. This means a person who gets up early, or acts quickly, has the best chance of success. Another famous proverb is a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. This means you should not risk losing something you have by searching something that is not guaranteed（有保證的）. Another proverb warns do not put all your eggs in one basket. This means you should not put all of your resources（資源） together in one place because you could risk losing everything at one time. Here is more advice: If at first you don39。t succeed, try, try again. Also, Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today. Yet another proverb advises us not to be concerned about something bad that you cannot change. It says, There is no use crying over spilled milk. Do you agree with the proverb Children should be seen and not heard? Maybe you have told your children that hard work never hurt anyone. But other people say that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. They believe it is not wise to spend all your time working but never having fun. Finally, here is one of our favorite pro173。verbs: People who live in glass houses should not throw stones. This means you should not criticize other people unless you are perfect yourself.
