  One of the songs that really influenced me a lot is Glad You Came by the Wanted. 
   The main theme of this song is to inspire young people and fuel them with enthusiasm. From its lyric:the sun goes down, the stars come out, the stars come out,and all that counts,is here and now. My universe will never be the same, I'm glad you came,we can interpret that this song is trying to show vitality to those who just suffered from pain or who are still in pain. Also, lyrics in the first part implicitly expresses singer's yearning for love.
    From my perspective, this is a song that inspires the weak to fight. From the last sentence of the first part lyric: my universe will never be the same, we can gradually realize that its ideological meaning is to spur people to fight for a new and better world.

body language

 The author states people communicate a lot of information through nonverbal
cues, cues that are often described as unconscious phenomena.  However, some people say, “improve your body language if you want to improve your social life and relationships.” They believe that in order to obtain your goals, you should consciously change your body language to suit certain situations, no matter how you truly feel.  Do you agree or disagree? Please give reasons and examples to support your opinion.

I definitely agree that in order to improve one's social life and relationship, one needs to enhance his or her body language in different occasions, in that body languages not only shows ones ability to express his idea but also demonstrate ones capacity to influence others or to impress others.

For instance, when people are being interviewed, confidence will be shown if people could use their hand to better illustrate their ideas. Imagine you are a boss, will you lose sleep over confident employees or reserved ones? Another example can be shown in political circumstances. It often indicates strength when one leader pat another's back, meaning that I am the boss here, thus giving others a feeling of tension. Also, in sports, when one player falls down, his teammate will go there and help him to stand up. This simple action actually illustrates unity within the team, which can spur players to fight better on the court.

In a nutshell, there is no doubt that body language helps people to achieve their goals faster.
