　　Body language has always been a hot topic of interesting dinner conversation and now today it is still a hot topic. It is perhaps one of the most powerful forms of human expression or human communication!

　　Body language is a very important part of communication which can constitute 50% or more of what we are communicating to the other person. If you wish to communicate effectively, then it makes sense to understand how you can (and cannot) use your body to say what you mean.

　　Body language can be used to discover all sorts of things such as, knowing when someone is attracted to you, finding truth and lies, showing confidence, winning respect in any situation, and you can use body language to put people at ease, make friends quickly, persuade, and influence.

　　So what is body language? Body language is a term used to describe the method of communication using body movements or gestures instead of, or in addition to, sounds, verbal (口头的) language or other communication. Body language includes the most subtle (微妙的) movements that many people are not aware of, including winking (眨眼) and slight movement of the eyebrows and other facial expressions.

　　Body language is one of the easiest ways for you to tell what's really going on in a conversation with another person. The body language that you observe from other people will tell you whether or not those people are being straight up with you or whether there is more to the story that's not being said. Watch, look, observe. Sometimes you can tell more by a person's body language than the words they speak.
