Question

Arms: 1. 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 comes your way. 2. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy!

Head: When you want to appear confident, keep your head level. If you are monitor in class, you can also take on this position when you want your words to be taken seriously. 3.

Legs: Your legs tend to move around a lot more than normal when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!

Posture(姿势): A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. 4. This makes breathing more difficult, which in turn can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.
