Task 4
Nonverbal language refers to human emotional expressions without involving verbal statements, for example, facial expressions and body moments. It is generally believed that nonverbal languages function as the enhancement of emotional expressions when they consist with verbal languages. And under the circumstances that nonverbal languages and verbal languages contradicts in the contents they express, nonverbal languages are more likely to release people’s true emotions.
The professor gives us two examples. The first one is about his uncle. Last month, his favorite uncle paid him a surprise visit. He had not seen his uncle in many years. The doorbell rang, he opened the door and there was uncle Pete. The professor still remembers clearly that when he saw his uncle, he said something like, “Uncle Pete, what a surprise! so nice to see you.” Anyway, his wife was standing next to him, and according to her, he was not really aware of this, his eyes got really wide and he broke into a huge big smile, his wife said he was really jumping up and down like a little boy. Well, later that evening uncle Pete told the professor he felt very good.
The second one is about his six years old daughter. They were building a bird house together last week, and he was showing her how to use a hammer and a nail. And, he was not being very careful when he smashed the thumb with the hammer. He almost felt like screaming, but he did not want to upset his daughter, so he said, “Don’tworry, honey. It’s nothing.” Meanwhile, he was shaking his hand as if that would stop the thumb from hurting and his face was contorted in pain. His voice was trembling, too. So, even though he told his daughter he was ok, actually, his daughter did not believe him, because she kept asking the professor if he was ok.
