Mai Tram Code: 25203108274 GRADUATION PAPER Supervisor: Phan Thi Thuy Tien, M.A CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 RATIONALE Firstly, body language plays a crucial role in communication, and can often convey more than words alone By understanding how to use body language effectively, individuals can communicate more confidently and effectively, which can have many positive outcomes in various personal and professional settings Secondly, self-confidence is a highly valued trait in many areas of life, including in the workplace and in social situations By studying self-confident body language, individuals can learn how to project confidence through their nonverbal communication, which can have a positive impact on their interactions with others and their overall success Finally, the topic of self-confident body language is a relatively new field of study, and there is still much to learn about the various ways in which body language can impact confidence levels As such, there is a lot of room for exploration and discovery in this area, making it an exciting and worthwhile topic for research Overall, the topic of self-confident body language is a relevant and interesting area of study that has the potential to provide valuable insights into the role of nonverbal communication in conveying confidence and achieving success For all of these reasons, I chose to translate Chapter “Self-confident Body Language” of the book “Without Saying a Word” so that everyone might improve their communication skills 1.2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES 1.2.1 Aims - Showcasing my translation and analysis abilities - Enhancing my translation abilities and my ability to analyze the book's substance Student: Bui Mai Tram Code: 25203108274
