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.
