Topic Discussion i. Students Discussion 1) What is your way to give others a good impression? dress appropriately, speak nicely, keep smiling, take effective use of all body language, etc.2) Can body language affect a lot on our first impression on others?yes, body language does affect our impression on others and it is believed that sometimes body language is more effective than verbal language and we depend a lot on body language when speeches are faint.ii. Teachers SummaryIt is said that people decide if they like you within the first seven seconds when they meet you. So it is very important to make a good first impression. Actually, we can have a positive effect on others through using our eyes, face, and body even before we have any words, that is what we say “body language”. The key here is to be yourself by being relaxed and thinking of others instead of yourself. You have the power to have a good effect on others because you are the only one who can be you.2. Questions on the Topic and the Passage 1) According to the passage, how long does it take us to judge the people we meet? Seven seconds. 2) What does the author mean by saying “you are the message”? He means that when you are in communication, your eyes, face, body and attitudesthe whole you send the information. 3) What does the passage suggest us as the key to being yourself? To be consistently you, at your best. 4) What is the “lions cage” in the passage? And how should we behave in such “a lions cage” according to the author? It refers to a room full of people. The author suggests that we should keep our eyes straight at those in the room and move our eyes comfortably, keeping smiling. 5) How can we “light up” in our communication with others? To appear comfortable by ourselves and to make others comfortable. 6) What is the power within you to make a good impression? It refers to the ability and quality that exist in ourselves to produce a good effect on others and only by ourselves we can make the best use of it.II Background Information1. Body Language is communication by the body that might include planned as well as natural movements. Expression on the face, movements of the body, posture or position, the tone of the voice, clothes, and sometimes smell, are some of the ways most people use to send or receive messages, though they are not aware of it. People in politics, sales, and acting use body language on purpose. 2. Phi Beta Kappa PBK Key is an award given annually since 1980 to a member of a chapter of Phi Beta Kappa. The key recognizes exceptional service given by the member to Phi Delta Kappa. Phi Beta Kappa is one of the many honorary academic societies on American university campuses.Their members mostly consist of undergraduate students. 3. Victorian Family is a family that lives like or actually lived in the time when Queen Victoria was the throne in Britain. The term means the family follows the rigid social rules and customs common during the time of Victoria. People who do not follow the rules and regulations of this time see its customs as old-fashioned.4. Six tips on how to make a good impression i. Demonstrate immediately that the other person, not you, is the center of action and conversation. Illustrate that the spotlight is on you only, and you will miss opportunities for friendships, jobs, love relationships, sales, etc.ii. Demonstrate that you are a skilled listener by both giving positive verbal cues as “Hmminteresting！“Tell me more, please.”and nonverbal cues, such as eye contact.iii. Show that you have paid attention to the new acquaintance from the start by using his or her name to make conversation more personal.iv .Stay away from remarks that might bring about adverse results if you are not clear about the new acquaintances sensitivities.v. Pay attention to your appearance.Wearing a suit and having proper hair-style will convey the message:You attach great importance to this experience.”vi .A persons speaking style will impact the first impression. From the conversation, the listener can judge your intelligence, your cultural level, your education level, your leadership ability by the words you use.III Text Structure AnalysisThis is an argumentation. The writer presents the reader his ideas about “How to Make a Good Impression” with a general statement that is supported by a list of examples. Listing is one of the common ways to organize ones viewpoints, ideas, causes, or even possibilities. All the examples in the list must be supporting the writers viewpoints effectively without going into details. Punctuation and words in italics can help listing, too. The writer offers readers some advice by listing: “You are the message”, “Be yourself”, “Use your eyes”, “Lighten up”.This passage can be roughly divided into three parts.Part One (Para1- 2) This part is an introductory paragraph, telling us the main idea of the article: What time you make the most important impression on others or others leave the most important impression on you. Paragraph 1 tells us that you make up your mind about people through unspoken communication within the first seven seconds of meeting them. Paragraph 2 gives us some examples to illustrate the point. Part Two (Para 3- 14) This part is the body paragraph, answering the question of how to make a good impression on others by giving four pieces of advice: Paragraphs 3 to 5 are about the first piece of advice: You are the message. Your message includes physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice, gestures, expression through the eyes, the ability to hold the interest of others. Paragraphs 6 to 9 are about the second piece of advice: To be consistently you, at your best. When the audience see with their own eyes that you are not being yourself and you are sending mixed messages, they would tell themselves that the speaker is not being honest. Paragraphs 10 to 11 are about the third piece of advice: Keep eye contact with your audience. Look straight at those in the room and smile. Paragraphs 12 to 14 are about the fourth piece of advice: Lighten up. In order to make others comfortable, you have to appear comfortable yourself first. Part Three (Para 15) This is the concluding paragraph, “ Just be yourself ”, you already have the power to have a good effect on others, because you are the only one who can be you.IV. Structured writingA Paragraph of a Statement Supported by a List of Examples In Text A of Unit 4, we see that a general statement can be supported by a list of examples. This is one of the most common ways to support an idea or an opinion. The key points for this kind of structure are:1.You have to list examples, just by naming them. It is not necessary to go into details about the examples, as the list of examples is quite enough to support the point. 2. All the examples in the list must be supporting the point you are making. Have a look at part of Paragraph 2. Think about some of your most unforgettable meetings: an introduction to your future spouse, a job interview, an encounter with a stranger. The listing can be introduced by “such as” or “like”, but it is also possible to introduce a list of examples with a colon, for example, in Paragraph 4: Others will want to be with you and help you if you use your good qualities. They include: physical appearance, energy, rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice, gestures, expression through the eyes, and the ability to hold interest of others. The general statement is strongly supported by the examples in the list though the writer does not go into details about each of the examples mentioned. ( Now turn to page 90, look at the Sample Paragraph by using a list of examples to support a general statement and then write a paragraph on one of the topics).
