People are talkative animals. We do a lot of talking—asking, answering, telling and saying, but we also do much of our talking without words.

do + the/ 表示「量」的形容詞 + V-ing做～工作My sister does a lot of cooking at home.I do some painting on weekends.John will do the driving tomorrow.

do A without B 在不需要 B 的情況下完成 A I can do the job without your help.

We often use a kind of “Body language” to show what we think or feel.  

what: the things thatShe tries to show what/the things that she wants.

This body language is the language of gestures. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm or move another part of the body to show what we want to say.

這些動詞和受詞的組合稱為「搭配字」 (collocation) what 乃關係代名詞，在關係子句中作及物動詞的受詞，可代替成 the things that 。You may do what you please.There is some truth in what Bill says.

In other words, we “talk” with these gestures. And we make hundreds of these gestures in a day.

in other words 換句話說It was a great party last night. In other words, we all had a good time.

「 with + 手段／工具」表示「用… ( 做… ) 」I write with a pen.We cook with a stove.

make gestures 表示「做手勢」。make a gesture of friendship/goodwill/support

People all over the world use gestures. In every country, there are gestures that say “Hello” and “Goodbye.”

However, this does not mean that everyone in the world uses exactly the same body language. We may have some of the same gestures, but different countries have different customs and different gestures.

however 及 but 都用來表示語氣的轉折，但 however 為副詞，而 but 為連接詞，注意標點符號使用的不同。John is rich; however, Tom is poor.→John is rich. However, Tom is poor.John is rich, but Tom is poor. Next
