Body language

People’s bodies give off a mixture of subconscious signals and signs which cannot be concealed even by the most clever of liars. They are a part of human nature. If this is true, what can the average person do to know if they are being spun a yarn? There are some signals, that can help you to detect some emotions. 

1. For example, when people think actively, solve something hard, they scratch their heads. 
2. When people are surprised, they can raise eyebrows. Or, when people wrinkle nose, they try to show uncertainty, disgust of something.
3. And when people are scared or happy, they show teeth.
4. Also, when people are so stressed and worried, they bite nails. 
5. So, when people are embarrassed, they cover their mouth. 
6. When people are sad and annoyed, they frown. 
7. Finally, when people are shocked, they open their eyes and mouth wide.

Also, there are some more body signals. 

1. When people show crinkles during smiling, their smile is genuine and not a forced.
2. When people raise eyebrows during the conversation, they have a discomfort.
3. When you can see a mirroring ( same pose) during the dialogue, all is going well.
4. Extremely long eye contact is a sign of a lie.
5. When a person crosses legs, this person is closed up.
6. Furred brows mean the stress.
7. Crossed arms show defensiveness.

Body language can tell many things about us. I believe that you liked my ideas. They can help you during your lifetime. Because hiding emotions and lies is people’s nature.

How to detect a liar

Studies have shown that in an average 10-minute conversation, people tell at least 3 'lies'. Our bodies give off a mixture of subconscious signals and signs which cannot be concealed even by the most clever of liars. They are a part of human nature. If this is true, what can the average person do to know if they are being spun a yarn? There are some signals, that can help you to detect the liar.

First of all, It is often said that liars are unable to look you straight in the eye. This can be true and they may rub their eyes, for instance, to avoid eye contact. But it may surprise you to know that really good liars often overcompensate by maintaining eye contact longer than normal in order to convince you they're telling the truth. If they hold eye contact for longer than six seconds, be suspicious about what they are telling you.

Second signal is called busy hands. While telling a lie, people often instinctively use their hands to touch their faces, scratch their heads or cover their mouths which show their discomfort. Sometimes they will even hold an object in front of them such as a book to create a subconscious barrier to hide behind.

Thirdly, When faced with a question a person doesn't want to tell the truth about, they often mirror or repeat the language of the person asking the question so as to buy time to think. There may also be an increase in the number of 'ums' and 'ahs' they use, again showing that they are thinking while talking.

Fourthly, Whether a person is right-handed or left-handed also plays a role when telling lies. Right-handed people tend to look right when lying while left-handed people tend to look left.

Finally, Most liars will have a telltale sign on their face such as going as white as a sheet or the exact opposite – blushing. Such changes are subconscious responses to stress brought on by lying. Also, look out for micro-expressions, little nervous twitches or muscle spasms around the eyes, cheeks or neck which flash across people's faces, giving away their true emotions. Someone may be smiling at you, for example, but suddenly you spot their eyelids, eyebrows and the corners of their mouths drooping. This could mean they are actually feeling sad. Be warned, though micro-expressions last for less than a second, so they're really tricky to spot. 

Above all, trust your instincts! If you think someone is trying to pull the wool over your eyes, you're probably right. Having said that, don't take things too far. I hope that you liked my ideas. 

News 09.05.20- 15.05.20

 Hello everyone. My name is Gleb Vinogradov. It is the sixth publication of my news blog. I had been collecting the information for the whole week. As usual, right now I am going to present to you some positive news from the past 7 days.

Firstly, Later this summer, NASA will send a robotic helicopter to Mars for the first time. The helicopter runs on solar power. The space agency chose to name the helicopter Ingenuity. The word means being clever or original. The name was suggested by Vaneeza Rupani. She is a high school student. She lives in Northport, Alabama. Rupani's idea was part of NASA's "Name the Rover" essay contest. The contest was open to American K-12 students. Students sent about 28,000 names.

Secondly, Prince Harry of the British Royal family has recorded a video. It honors a favorite children's book. The book is "Thomas the Tank Engine." The main character is a train engine. The book came out 75 years ago. The video introduces a new TV program. It is called "Thomas and Friends: The Royal Engine." The story includes Harry's father and grandmother, Prince Charles and Queen Elizabeth II, as animated characters. Prince Harry's video was recorded in January, before he moved overseas.

Finally, Families might not be able to get together for Mother's Day this year. So they are trying different ways to celebrate. The coronavirus is keeping families at home or a safe distance apart. Health officials have asked people to stay home and stay away from others. That will help to slow the spread. So, people have looked for ways to make mothers feel special. Dads are making crafts with the kids. Others are finding ways to connect with their mothers. Hospitals and homes for seniors are not allowing visitors. Some facilities are helping. They will share messages that families have recorded for patients.

Thank you for your attention. I hope that you liked my report. Stay at home and wash your hands. Goodbye.
