This is a message world. You speak, write letters, make a telephone call. You words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words?
A smile on your face shows you are or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You your head, and people know you are saying “No”. You nod and people know you are saying “Yes”. Other things can also carry messages.
For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?
People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his to tell beautiful scenery, interesting people, and many other things. A musician can express his or her feelings through music. You can happiness, sorrows, worries, sadness, and beauty by listening to some kinds of music. A dancer can express his or her feelings through his or her body. That’s a kind of body .
Books are written to you about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas and feelings. Books, magazines, newspapers, TVs, radios, QQ,s e-mails, movies and mobile phones help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about.
I enjoy reading in my time. An interesting book, a cup of green tea, a comfortable chair. I can spend my Sunday afternoons and happily in the warm winter sunshine.
