Mastering Skills for the TOEFL® iBT

You are giving a talk in front of a group of people. You’ve
assembled all the relevant facts. You’ve planned it well, and
your delivery is strong, but your audience doesn’t respond or,
even worse, they are giving you a negative response. What
went wrong? Well, it is probably not what you are saying out
loud that matters. The problem stems from what your body
says, or in other words, your body language. By body language
I mean things as simple as the way you stand, or, say, folding
your arms across your chest. Body language includes the gestures
and movements people make when they communicate.
