Todos los gestos cuentan una historia

Cuando pensamos en lenguaje y comunicación normalmente pensamos en hablar. Pero nuestros gestos y movimientos, en otras palabras nuestro lenguaje corporal, dice mucho más de nosotros que nuestras palabras. El lenguaje corporal también nos dice lo que otros están pensando y sintiendo también.

Un psicólogo experto dice que las palabras son un 7 por ciento de las de nuestra comunicación, mientras que el 93 por ciento son de señales silenciosas. Los niños lo entienden naturalmente, pero nosotros crecemos el cambio de énfasis hacia las palabras y perdemos la habilidad de recoger estas señales silenciosas. Los adultos son muy buenos para decir cosas que no necesariamente quieren. El lenguaje corporal trabaja junto con el lenguaje verbal, pero a veces ambas con contradictorias. Por ejemplo, la gente puede decir que esta de acuerdo contigo, y al mismo tiempo inclinando su silla hacia atrás y apoyándose lejos de ti. Distanciándose físicamente de ti, en realidad están expresando desacuerdo.

"Algunas personas son extremadamente buenas mintiendo con el lenguaje corporal", dice el psicólogo. Por ejemplo, los políticos aprenden a usar ciertos gestos para crear una buena impresión. Pero no son tan exitosos como esperan. Antes de creer lo que ves en la cara de una persona deberías moverte hacia atrás para ver todo su cuerpo. Lo más lejos que estés de su cara más verdaderas las personas se ponen.

Algunos gestos faciales, sin embargo, los hacemos instintivamente. Por ejemplo, las pupilas de nuestros ojos se dilatan cuando nos atrae alguien. Mucho del lenguaje corporal lo hacemos inconscientes. Si queremos usar y entender los gestos con éxito, necesitamos estar conscientes de ellos y de sus diferentes significados. Vigilar nuestro lenguaje corporal en nosotros y en otros nos ayuda a comunicarnos mejor. Si aprendes a descifrar y usar bien el lenguaje corporal se te dará tan fluido como el lenguaje verbal.

Once upon a time there was a group of people  celebrating that Brad has graduated from college, there was his family and also his friends. They were in the best  restaurant in town having their meal, and Brad order his favorite dish fried fich with french fries. He was really happy of graduating because he wasn't sure that he could make it. Every one was really happy about it.

When they were having dessert something weird happend, the lights sudenly turn off and everything was really dark, no one could see a thing. In the middle on the dark everyone heard a really scary noise, was a woman screaming, Brad didn't know what to do, so he stayed siting there.

No one moved a finger until the lights turn on five minutes later, and every one stand up of their sit asking what happend, Brad's friends wanted to leave, but his father didn't let them, something happend and they haved to fing out what was it.

-Is someone missing? - the father ask.

-Annie! I can't find Annie! - Rachel, one of Brad's friends of college, scream.

- Annie? Annie! Annie! - Everyone said.

Almost everyone stand of their sits and start looking for the missing everywhere, under the tables, in the bathroom and the kitchen, but they couldn't go out because the doors were closed.

Annie Jones was a medicin student in Brad's college, they met because they had friends in comun , like Rachel, she was a very healthy and nice girl, she did charity work and no one knew of a bad habit of her.

What happend with Annie Jones? That was the question without answer.

-Calm down! I already call the police! But no one can leave this restaurant until they get here, we are all suspects - Brad's fathers said to the crowd of scared people.

- George! Their is a young girl missing! And you are asking us to calm down! I don't think thats posible - Brad's mother repond.

30 minutes later the police arrived to the restaurant, they register every person in the place including the suff from the restaurnant, like the chefs, and waiters, and the other custumers, they have no idea of what was going on. 

Brad was worried about Annie, she was a great person, and she was is friend, so he decided to understand who could kidnap her. He went to talk to Rachel ( Annie's best friend and roomate).

- Hi Rachel, how are you?

- How do you think I am!? Annie is missing and there is no clue of what happend to her!

- Cam down! I'm just trying to understant what is going on, I want to help.

- Well, there is nothing you can do.

- Do you know if there was someone who was angry at Annie? or someone who didn't like her?

- No idea.

Then, the police let people go out, and no one loose the time, they were pushing each other in the door to leave the fast that they could.

Brad stays and ask the police if they had any clue of what happend to Annie, and they respond:

- Thats a secret of the state.

- Sorry?

- It's clasified information and unless you are the president or a minister you can't know.

Ok, what a mistery.

The fire alarm

I.

1- Jennifer

2-  Paranoid and Worried

3- There was a fire

4- People didn't go out 

5-  Jennifer's hears a loud alarm

6- People had to leave the building

7- The firemen never arrived to the school

8- The oficcer used a key to turn it off

II. 

If I were Jennifer, I had left the building as quickly as possible and I would called the firefighters my selfl. Later after the shock had passed I get in the school to help out people who needed help, such as the old people and little children, because there are little kids in schools. 

When there are fires you don't have to  worry about material things you have to worry about saving your own life and help the other people if it is possible, because sometimes is not posible and you have to leave and save yourself, thats waht you have to do.
