HeH0,everyone,my topic today is about the power of a smile.There’re a number of sayings about the power of a smile.Peace beings with a smile.A smile means wel-
come everywhere.Life is short but a smile only takes a second or goodbyes.But it may not be as simple as that.
According to a new research,if you want to make a good impression when you meet people,it’s not just that you smile.It’s how you smile.The study was car-
fled out by the Go Group,a business support organiza-tion in Scotland in the UK.It looked at people’s respon-ses to different smiles.They found that the responses
differed greatly.Through this study,they say people should avoid three types of smiles.The first is the TopFan,very wide or teeth showing,possible evidence that
you Call have too much of a good thin9.Then there is the Big Freeze,a fixed smile that looks practiced and insincere.Finally comes the Robot,a small thin smile lacking in warmth.The group also warns against smiling too quickly,saying it can make you took false.The best smile,they say,is slower and flows naturally across the whole face.
