How to make a good impression

Body languageBody language comes in many forms. When we don’t know somesone, we use their body language to get first impressions of them. For example, someone who moves around a lot may be seen as energetic and efficient. In some cases, this may be correct, but it can mean that they are uncomfortable in the situation and also nervous. Using body language to make you appear more confident, powerful, trusting, etc. depend on what the situation may require of you. If you give off negative signs, it could be the difference of achieving your goal. 肢体语言有多种形式。初次见面时我们根据对方的肢体语言 决定对他的第一印象。例如，四处走动的人看起来有活力， 高效率。也许这是对的，但有时也会表示他们感到不舒服或 者紧张。环境决定了你能否用肢体语言表现的更加自信，强 势，可靠。如果你给出消极的信号，可能就达不成目标。

2. You were committed to what you were talking about and so absorbed in the moment you lost all self-consciousness.
