When you wave to a friend, you are using body language. When you smile at someone, you mean to be friendly. When you put one finger in front of your mouth, you mean "be quiet". Yet, people in different countries may use different body languages.
Once, an Englishman was in Italy. He could speak little Italian. One day while he was walking in the street, he felt hungry and went into a restaurant. When the waiter came, the Englishman opened his mouth, put his fingers into it and took them out again and moved his lips. In this way, he meant to say, "Bring me something to eat." But the waiter brought him a lot of things to drink, first tea, then coffee, then milk, but no food.
The Englishman was sorry that he was not able to tell the waiter he was hungry. He was ready to leave the restaurant when another man came in. The man put his hands on his stomach, and this body language was good enough for the waiter. In a few minutes, the waiter brought him a large plate of bread and meat.
Finally the Englishman had his meal in the same way.
Square dancing has been popular for quite a few years. Its lovers believe it is good for elderly people's health But in recent years, it has many haters as well. They think too loud music or dancing too late into night influences people's life. Should square dancing be supported or limited? Here are opinions from two groups of people.
For |
Square dancing is a helpful way for elderly people to stay fit. Square dancing has become an important socializing opportunity(社交机会) for those parents whose grown children have left to start their own families. If governments provide large places where people can dance a bit far from living blocks, most of the complaints will go away. |
Against |
Square dancing in public may not be acceptable to all elderly people. Some of them hate the noise caused by such kind of dancing. Square dancing is something that elderly people themselves invented. They just want to be left by themselves to do what they like. There are some other healthier ways to exercise for people from different age groups and with different health .situations.
