Gestures are often used in our daily conversation, life, study and other occasions. The most common thing is that in class, the teacher points directly at the blackboard without using a pointer, so that students can quickly understand what the teacher is saying and their eyes will move in the direction pointed by the teacher's hand.
The use of gestures is an auxiliary action to enhance the appeal of a speech, but it can never replace a speech. When speaking, your body should sit or stand naturally, and your hands should be put away naturally. You should match your tone with your face if necessary. Only when you really want to strengthen your tone and attract attention can you let your hand help you. In a word, don't feel clumsy when you don't move your hands. The real clumsiness is to wave uncontrollably when talking. According to statistics, 70% of people don't have to touch their hands when they speak.
When you speak, you can use gestures to express and strengthen your feelings, such as waving your fist to express your anger. When we talk about the size, shape and other characteristics of some objects, in order to make the audience understand, we usually unconsciously use gestures to compare the pictures, such as talking about? Li Yu's father caught such a big fish at the weekend? Sometimes, we will gesture with our hands so that others can clearly know how big the fish is.
Gestures can also arouse the psychological association of your audience. For example, if we sing "Grateful Heart" on the stage and make hearts with our hands, it will resonate with the audience? Heart? Lenovo. In the Teacher's Day speech, you said that the teacher dedicated his youth, enthusiasm and a fiery heart to the students, so you can make a gesture of holding things with both hands to express the meaning of dedication, thus making your expression more vivid and powerful.
Feelings are consistent with gestures. When you speak, your arms are vertical, your palms are backward, your fingers are half bent, and your thumb touches your thighs, which will make a lot of jokes and fail to reflect the spirit and vitality of the speaker.
So, what about the correct gesture? Some people divide common gestures into the following four categories:
1, indicating gesture.
Used to express people, things, things, directions, etc. Say it. To revitalize China, there is only one choice, that is, we must take the road of building Socialism with Chinese characteristics. ? With the sound language, the right hand is raised to the side of the head, the fist is clenched, and the index finger is extended, which causes others to pay attention to this sacred choice.
2. affectionate gestures
It is mainly used to express the feelings of the speaker, for example, in a speech. We must persist in reform and opening up! ? Raise the palm of your right hand with sound language, and cut it from the upper right to the lower left, at the end of the sentence? Going? The words are conveniently clenched into fists (in? Going? Make a fist), appear strong and decisive, give people confidence and strength.
Gestures can be divided into three areas according to the range of hand movements: the upper area is above the shoulder, which shows grand, positive, publicity, momentum and inspiring content and feelings, and is widely used in speeches and debates. The middle area is from shoulder to waist, which is mostly used to describe and explain things in general, showing neutral meanings such as frankness, calmness and friendliness. This is the most used area. The lower area is below the waist, representing hatred, unhappiness, contempt, contempt, rejection, denial and depression.
3. Symbolic gestures
Used to express abstract concepts, such as? Students, let's go where the motherland needs it most! ? With the sound of language, the right hand stretches forward, symbolizing the frontier, countryside, mines and other places that are most needed.
4. Pictographic gestures
Used to describe and express the appearance of a particular thing or person, such as? what is love ? Love is not taking, but giving! ? With the audio language, the arm is straight and flat on the chest, the arm is slightly bent, and the palm is up, which is like a sacrifice, which will deepen the other person's understanding of love.
Gestures are used in many situations. In daily practice, gestures include shaking hands, handing, waving, waving, waving, and extending arms or fingers.
The above gestures, no matter what kind, should be emotional, accurate, natural, elegant and not stiff, and must proceed from reality, so that the action can explain the problem properly and concisely and express feelings.
Gestures should also be accurate. Dancing from beginning to end will distract the listener's attention, easily arouse the listener's disgust, and will not have a good expression effect. Although the head movement is simple, it can also convey certain information when used properly. If the person in charge expresses affirmation and approval; Shake your head to express denial and rejection; A crooked head indicates doubt, thought or coquetry.
When expressing strong feelings, except stamping your feet, it is generally not suitable to use your feet. You can't shake your feet when standing, giving people the feeling of instability or impatience.
