Body language is the most powerful language of all! It is said that our body movements communicate about 50 percent of what we really mean. And words only express 7 percent. Though your mouth is closed, your body is just saying.

Arms. How you hold your arms shows how you are. If you keep your arms to the sides of your body or behind your back, it shows you are not afraid. Outgoing people use their arms with big movements, while quieter people keep them close to their bodies. If someone upsets you, just cross your arms to show you’re unhappy!

Head. When you want to appear confident, keep your head up. If you are a monitor in class, you can also keep your head up when you want your words to be taken seriously.

Legs. Your legs are likely to move around a lot more than usual when you are nervous or telling lies. If you are at interviews, try to keep them still!

Posture（姿势）. A good posture makes you feel better about yourself. If you are feeling down, you usually don’t sit straight, but sit with your shoulders inward（向内的）. This makes breathing more difficult, which can make you feel nervous or uncomfortable.

Mouth. When you are thinking, you often purse your lips（噘嘴）. You might also use this body movement hold back an angry opinion that you don’t wish to show. However, it will probably still be noticed, and people know you’re not happy.

Don’t throw away your old phone. You are actually throwing away real gold! Smartphones contain many useful things such as gold, silver and copper（铜）. People can recycle them to make new electronics（电子器件）.

But many people may not know this. In Australia alone there are more than 25 million unused mobile phone lying around, Sydney Morning Herald reported. The gold in these phones can add up to a value of more than $80 million (542 million yuan).
