We know that many children have problems in learning body language. If your children do, there are some ways for you.

Match the actions(动作) to the messages. Teach your children what different body language can show. When someone is playing with the fingers, it means that he is bored or he doesn’t catch what you’re saying.

Give examples(例子). If you’re watching TV together, you can turn down the sound. Then you can ask your children, “Why do you think the person feels that way?” And you can say things, like “his face is red”. It helps your children know the way to show what they think.

Play games. It is good for all family members to play a game about body language. You can write different emotions on cards, such as happiness, sadness, anger and so on. Then some of you draw pictures and show them, and the other family members try to guess what they are. You all may have much fun. And your children can understand these words well.

Think more. Just the actions can’t show all the things. You need to teach your children to think about sound and words to get all the information. With the help of both of them, children can learn more about body language.

Imagine a Day with 5G in the Future

Jane, a reporter, is collecting information for the local newspaper. She is interested in the following things introduced in a magazine.

Smart Schoolbag

Forget to pack the books you need into your schoolbag in the morning rush?

A schoolboy aged 11 has invented a schoolbag. It tells you which books to pack. A small computer and a scanner (扫描装置) are fixed in the bag. As each book is put into the bag, it is checked by the scanner. If any book is missing, a message will be shown on the computer screen to remind you.

Weather Sweets

Can you eat weather?

A university makes that happen. It uses a 3D printer to create sweets based on the weather information of a certain day.

The shapes of the sweets are affected by wind speed. The colors of the sweets are decided by temperature. The sweets act as a weather record of the day when they are made.

Sunrise Bed

It’s hard for you to get up in the morning, isn’t it?

To help you get up, a company has created a “tool”—a sunrise bed.

It wakes you up gently as a sunrise does. Lights built into the bed turn on and start to get brighter and brighter. When the lights are fully on, soft music will begin to play. It will be louder and louder until you turn it off. The company explains, “The gentle light tells your body that it is morning, so it stops producing a chemical that helps you sleep.”
