Long Answer

Solution

  1. My school is the best location in my life. I like my school because the teachers are friendly to me. My school plans monthly entertainment events. I have a lot of pals at school. My school has all the necessary sports, studies, and other activities facilities. These sports not only help us stay active, but they also improve our stamina and coordination. My school has a large playground, where I play with my friends. I appreciate all of my teachers. They are friendly and polite when fixing our errors. They have never been hard on us. So, we have always tried to study and write our tests successfully. Our institution is attempting to take a different approach to encouraging studies on children. Students at our school are never required to study to get through. My school tries to create summer camps where we can all go together. Summer camps are also organized based on student requests. My school is the only one that is nice to visit over the summer holidays. It's also important to realize that not everyone has the opportunity to receive an education. If given this opportunity, be grateful and active to improve yourself.
  2. I always look forward to spending my days at school. I enjoy attending school because it allows me to meet new people, engage with teachers, and learn new things. Being at school, it seems like friends and relatives always accompany me. In addition, it functions like a family, providing me with education and other essential abilities. It's a place where I can learn, laugh, smile, play, and enjoy. It elicited strong emotions in me for positive reasons, and I will be forever thankful to my school and outstanding professors. My school is also a beautiful location where I can develop my personality and increase my intelligence through education. Apart from academics and tests, my school improves my music, athletics, and general knowledge education. I was taught all life skills, such as being calm in stressful situations and assisting others.
  3. I dislike it when every teacher assigns homework, projects, and tests, and you spend the entire day working on them due to deadlines. I am unwilling to get up so early; it has often been encouraged that the school day starts later, particularly for teenagers. In school, a restriction of independence frequently leads to feelings of loneliness.
  4. Teachers used to take tests every Monday, and I think tests should be conducted four times a month. Because of examinations, we face less difficulty studying. And we used to pass the exams with good marks.

According to some experts, a staggering 93 percent of our daily communication is non-verbal. Facial expressions are easy to decipher. One can readily detect happiness, sadness, anger. Physicians can tell a patient is doing well (or not) by looking at his/her face.

Eye contact is another type of non-verbal communication, which can tell a lot about the other person. The eyes convey a range of emotions-happiness, sadness, boredom, surprise, confidence ..... even emotional interest. Staring at someone's forehead may intimidate the recipient, staring at the mouth is sometimes interpretated as a sign of emotional interest. In fact staring into someone's eyes is a sign of lying, and so is looking away. In certain cultures, lack of eye contact is taken as a sign of respect.

If body language is to be defined, it is a combination of facial expression, gestures, eye contact, body movements and posture and voice.

Frequent blinking is a sign of the person feeling distressed or uncomfortable. If the pupils are dilated, it often indicates interest, even emotional interest. The lips also reflect our body language, and lip biting indicates worry and/or anxiety; tightening of the lips may be an indication of disapproval. Slightly turned-up lips indicate happiness and slightly turned-down lips indicate sadness.
