Cada gesto cuenta una historia

Cuando pensamos sobre el lenguaje y la comunicación usualmente pensamos en hablar. Pero nuestros gestos y movimientos, en otras palabras nuestro lenguaje corporal, dice mucho mas de nosotros que nuestras palabras. El lenguaje corporal también nos dice lo que los otros están pensando o sintiendo realmente.

Un psicólogo experto dice que las palabras solo son el 7% de nuestra comunicación, mientras que un 93% viene de las señales silenciosas. Los niños lo entienden naturalmente, pero mientras vamos creciendo el énfasis cambia hacia las palabras
Y perdemos el truco de recoger estas señales. Los adultos se vuelven muy buenos en decir cosas que no necesariamente quieren decir. El lenguaje corporal funciona muy bien con el lenguaje verbal, pero a veces pueden ser contradictorios. Por ejemplo, la gente puede decir que esta de acuerdo contigo, al mismo tiempo que se inclinan en su silla y se alejan de ti. Distanciándose físicamente de ti, están expresando su desacuerdo.

“Algunas personas son buenos mentirosos en lenguaje corporal” dice el psicólogo. Por ejemplo los políticos aprenden a usar ciertos gestos para crear la impresión adecuada. Pero no son tan exitosos como esperan. Antes de creer lo que ves en la cara de una persona debes retroceder para ver su cuerpo entero. Mientras mas lejos te vas, más sincera se vuelve la persona.

Sin embargo, algunos gestos faciales, los hacemos instintivamente. Por ejemplo, las pupilas en nuestros ojos se dilatan cuando nos atrae alguien. Tanto lenguaje corporal sucede inconcientemente. Si queremos entender y usar lenguaje corporal exitosamente necesitamos estar atentos de ellos y de sus diferentes significados. Cuidando nuestro lenguaje corporal y el de otros nos ayuda a comunicarnos mejor. Si aprendes a descifrar y usar bien el lenguaje corporal , te volverás tan fluido como con tu lenguaje verbal

III.-

If I were Jennifer, firstly, as soon as I heard the alarm I would make sure that all of the remain students were fine, and then get them out of the school, see if there is someone hurt and call 911 if there is someone hurt, after that, I would check if there was any fire inside the school, if there is fire I’d call to the firemen, and wait outside until they arrive. And that what I would do if I were in Jennifer’s shoes. And that is the activities for today’s English lab… see ya ha ha ha!

Hachiko a dog's history

Hachiko is a film directed by Lasse Hallström, it’s movie is very very sad, because A college professor (Richard Gere) takes in an abandoned dog, Hachi, and they form an unbreakable bond, because the dog always goes in search of his master after work, and then go home together. One day the teacher did not return, had suffered a cerebral hemorrhage that killed him while teaching at Imperial College, but Hachi stood there, in place, waiting. Gone are the days that turned into months, and months into years, and Hachi kept coming true and time to wait for his master, no matter if it was cold or heat, just waiting to see him again.Hachiko's devotion to his master died he felt touched those around him, who nicknamed it the faithful dog. After the professor dies while away from home, the dog keeps vigil waiting for his master for nearly a decade.

We think about that the movie is a great film, because because we found very cute dog with his owner, also We thought that the movie would have a happy ending, but it was the opposite, had a sad ending, that we personally made us mourn.

Well what more we impact on the movie loyalty had Hachi with his owner.
This movie reminded me of my dogs that I expected and were happy talk coming home. The pets are faithful do not ask for anything in return but your love will not let you because you have money or because you are old.

In life we do not know what will be the last day of our lives and nobody can tell when our light was turned off and all the memories, sorrows and happiness will be gone with us, but it is very gratifying to know that someone will remind us and we would expect as we them with hope that is the only thing that remains just wait.
