Body Language:
Head, Eyes, and Face

Body language is very important. People can understand our feelings and thoughts without words. We use our head, eyes, and face every day. Good body language shows that we are friendly, polite, happy, and confident. Bad body language can show that we are angry, nervous, sad, or rude.

This text explains many positive and negative ways to use the head, eyes, and face. It gives many examples for school, friends, home, and public life. It also gives tips for students to practice good body language.

• Ari: what does body language say?

#################

1. Smile

A smile is very important. When Ari smiles, people feel happy and welcome. A smile shows that Ari is friendly and kind. Guests feel comfortable when he smiles. Smiling also makes conversations better. Ari can smile when he meets guests, when he talks, or when he says goodbye. A small smile is enough. Too little smile can look cold. Too much smile can look not real.

#################

2. Eye contact

Eye contact is very important in tourism and hospitality. When Ari looks at people in the eyes, it shows he listens and cares about them. Guests feel respected and welcome. Eye contact helps Ari understand the guest and show interest. But Ari must be careful. If he looks too little, guests may feel he is rude. If he looks too much, it can feel uncomfortable.

##################

3. Posture (stand straight)

When Ari stands straight, it shows he is confident and polite. Guests see that he is professional and ready to help. Standing straight makes Ari look friendly and serious about his work. If he slouches, guests may think he is lazy or bored. If he is too stiff, he can look nervous or unhappy. Good posture helps Ari feel confident and make guests feel comfortable.

##################

4. Open hands

Using open hands is very important. When Ari shows his hands, it tells people he is honest and friendly. Guests feel safe and welcome. Open hands can be on the table, in front of the body, or when explaining something. Do not hide your hands in pockets. Do not wave them too much. Open hands show respect, honesty, and that Ari is ready to help.

##################

5. Gestures

Gestures are movements we make with our hands, arms, or head when we speak. Gestures help people understand what we say. They make communication more clear and friendly. Small gestures show that we are natural and polite. Too many gestures can be confusing or distracting. Too few gestures can make us seem boring or not interested. Using gestures in the right way helps guests feel welcome and comfortable.

##################

6. Nodding

When Ari nods his head while someone speaks, it shows that he understands and listens carefully. Guests feel that he cares about what they say. Nodding also shows agreement and makes the conversation friendly. Ari should nod sometimes, but not too much. If he nods too little, guests may think he does not listen. If he nods too much, it can look fake.

##################

7. Leaning slightly forward

When Ari leans a little forward, it shows he is interested in the person who talks. Guests feel that Ari listens carefully and cares about them. Leaning forward makes the conversation friendly and warm. But Ari must be careful. If he leans too much, it can make the guest feel uncomfortable. If he leans too little, it can look like he is bored or not interested.

##################

8. Respecting personal space

Respecting personal space is very important in tourism and hospitality. Ari should keep a little distance from guests. This shows that he respects them and wants them to feel comfortable. Standing too close can make guests feel nervous or unsafe. Standing too far away can seem cold or unfriendly. By keeping the right distance, Ari can make guests feel welcome, relaxed, and respected during all interactions.

##################

9. Mirroring gestures

Mirroring gestures means Ari copies small movements of the guest. For example, if the guest moves a hand or nods, Ari can do the same. This shows that he listens and understands the guest. It makes the guest feel comfortable and happy. Ari must do it slowly and gently. If he copies too much or too fast, it can look strange or fake.

##################

10. Facial expressions (other than smile)

Facial expressions show how Ari feels. He can raise his eyebrows to show surprise or interest. He can nod slightly to show he understands. Small expressions make guests feel that Ari listens and cares. If he has no expression, guests may think he is bored. If he makes big or strange expressions, it can look funny or fake. Facial expressions help Ari communicate without words.

##################

11. Tone of voice & pacing

Tone of voice is how Ari speaks. It can be calm, friendly, or nervous. A calm and friendly voice makes guests feel welcome and comfortable. Pacing is the speed of speaking. If Ari speaks too fast, guests may not understand him and feel stressed. If he speaks too slow, guests may feel bored or think he is unsure. A good tone and pace help guests feel happy and respected.

##################

12. Handshake (if culturally appropriate)

A handshake is a way to show respect and confidence. When Ari meets a guest, a handshake can say “Hello” and make the guest feel welcome. It is important to do it gently and not too strong. A weak handshake can look unsure, and a very strong handshake can seem aggressive. Ari must also check if a handshake is okay in the guest’s culture.

##################

13. Head position

Ari’s head position shows how he feels. If he keeps his head straight and upright, it shows confidence. Tilting the head slightly to the side shows interest in the guest. Looking down too much can show shyness or insecurity. Looking too high can show pride or arrogance. Guests notice the head position. A good head position makes Ari look friendly, respectful, and professional in tourism and hospitality.

##################

14. Seated posture

When Ari sits, his body shows if he is polite and interested. He should sit straight, with his back not too bent. Hands can be on his lap or on the table. Feet should stay on the floor. Leaning slightly forward shows he listens. If he leans back too much or crosses his arms, he can look bored or not friendly. Good posture makes guests feel comfortable.

  Halloween is a holiday every year on October 31st. The name comes from “All Hallows’ Eve”, the night before All Saints’ Day. The word “hallow” means holy or sacred. Halloween started a long time ago with the Celtic festival of Samhain in Ireland and Scotland. This festival marked the end of the harvest and the start of winter. People believed that on this night, the border between the living and the dead became thin, so spirits could visit the world. Later, Christians added their own traditions.

Today, most people do not know this history. Halloween is now a holiday for fun, costumes, and parties. Children wear costumes as ghosts, witches, or monsters and go trick-or-treating, visiting houses and saying “trick or treat!”. “Trick” means a small joke or prank, and “treat” means a gift, usually candy. People usually give candy, so it is mostly fun.

People also carve pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns to decorate their homes. Some families put Halloween decorations outside, like fake spiders, ghosts, and witches. There are also Halloween parties and haunted houses, where people can feel scared in a safe way. Today, Halloween is a time for children and families to enjoy fun, sweets, and games together, even though it started a long time ago as a festival for spirits and saints.

Cheat sheet:

• How foundations, e.g. the Shinta Mani Foundation, can support learning and future jobs

A good foundation can help young people have a better life and good work in tourism. It gives education and training in important skills. Students can learn English, computer skills, and hotel work, like serving guests, cleaning rooms, or working in restaurants. They also learn life skills, such as teamwork, responsibility, and communication.

A strong foundation also gives practical experience. Students can work in real hotels or tourist places to use what they learn in class. This experience helps them feel confident and ready for work. The foundation should support students with free classes, meals, uniforms, and sometimes a place to live. This is very important for students from poor families or far villages.

A good foundation teaches young people to care for the environment and local culture. They learn to respect nature, protect animals, and understand traditions.

The main goal of a good foundation is to help students find jobs and have a better future. With training, support, and experience, young people can grow and succeed. They can work in hotels or tourist places and help the community. Foundations like this make life better for young people and their families, and also improve tourism by having skilled and responsible workers.

5. No clear rules or standards

There are very few official rules for eco-tourism. Some tours are really good for nature and local people, but others are bad. Tourists cannot always know if a hotel, guide, or tour is really eco-friendly. Without rules, some companies may cheat or lie about helping nature, and local people may not get fair benefits.

##################

One big problem with eco-tourism is that there are very few clear rules or standards. Some eco-tourism tours are really good. They help nature, protect animals, and give money to local people. But other tours are not good. They may look like eco-tourism, but they can harm nature, animals, or local communities.

Tourists often do not know if a hotel, guide, or tour is really eco-friendly. Sometimes companies say they care about the environment, but they do not. Without clear rules, it is easy for companies to cheat. For example, a hotel can say it is eco-friendly, but it may use a lot of water or energy. A tour company may say it helps local people, but local communities may not get any money.

This problem is very serious. Tourists want to make good choices, but it is hard to know which tours are honest. Local people can also lose if companies do not follow fair rules. Good eco-tourism needs clear standards, inspections, and certificates. Without rules, eco-tourism can be more harmful than helpful.
