Ballet is a special form of art. It's a French word. It means “to dance”. There's no talking or singing in ballet. Instead, the ballet dancers express themselves through dance. They also use other forms of body language, such as gestures and facial expressions, to tell stories.
Ballet began in Western Europe in the 15th century. Today it has become popular all over the world.
One of the most famous ballets in the world is Swan Lake. The dancers tell the story and express different feelings through their body language. For example, when the Prince meets the Swan Queen, she tells him her story.
Read the listening materials and check your answers.
When she meets someone who will love her forever, she will return to her human self. The dancer holds her hands to her heart to mean love and points to the sky to say forever.
Ballet is beautiful, but it's not easy to become a ballet dancer. Many of the dance moves are very difficult. For example, dancers need to make difficult jumps and kick their legs sideways. Female ballet dancers even need to balance on the tips of their toes. Training usually starts at an early age, and the dancers have to go through a lot of training to keep their bodies strong. They have to practise very hard every day.
They learn to use their bodies to express all kinds of feelings in a beautiful way.

Your ideas
4 Besides ballet, what other types of performing arts do you know How do performers use their body language to tell stories and express their thoughts and feelings Share your ideas with your classmates.
I think mime (哑剧)uses body language in the most interesting way. Because mime has no words at all. Performers only use body movements and faces to tell stories. For example, a mime can act like he is drinking water from an empty cup. He holds the “cup”, puts it to his mouth, tilts his head back and swallows. We can easily know what he is doing. It’s amazing!
Speaking
How can we use body language effectively
Think
Talking about improving
body language in presentations
1 One student is practising his presentation in front of two classmates. Read the dialogue and learn how to make and accept suggestions. Pay attention to the expressions in blue.
S1: ...How can I improve my presentation
S2: I liked it, but maybe you should think about your body language.
S1: OK, what do you think I should do
S2: You look a bit nervous when you speak. I think you should try to
breathe slowly and relax. Besides, you're always looking at your
notes. If you want to connect with your audience, you'd better make
more eye contact with them.
S1: Oh, that's a good suggestion!
S3: Also, why don't you try using gestures to emphasize your points
S1: That's a good idea!
S3: You didn't keep your back straight during your presentation. If I
were you, I would stand up straight.
S1: I'll try that next time. Thank you both!
2 Three students are giving presentations in class. How can they improve their body language Choose one of the situations below and role-play making and accepting suggestions.
Wu Di is looking at the whiteboard all the time. He is not looking at the audience.
