Jack and his younger sister, Lily, were as different as night and day. Jack was the adventurous type, always running around with his friends, playing football or exploring the woods. Lily, on the other hand, was quieter, preferring to spend her time with her books and her dolls. However, she was quite thoughtful and always looked out for the whole family. She often helped her parents with housework, made her mom a cup of tea when she was tired, and kept an eye on her brother, Jack.

Jack had a group of close friends. They would seldom include Lily in their games — not because they disliked her, but because they thought she was too young and too different to join their adventures. This made Lily feel left out and sad, as she desired to be a part of her brother's world.

One strange thing about Jack was that whenever he was upset, the next day he would find a single coin in his pocket. It puzzled him. He couldn't explain where they came from. Whenever he asked his parents about it, they just smiled.

One day, Jack's best friend moved away to another city. Jack was sad. He had spent countless hours with him, and the thought of not having him around was heartbreaking. That evening, when he came home, he was in no mood to be around anyone, not even Lily. She tried to comfort him, but in his sadness, Jack shouted at her, and his sharp words sent Lily running to her room in tears. Feeling sorry but still upset, Jack went to his room, leaving Lily to cry alone.

Body language is an essential form of communication, helping us to understand what others are saying and feeling. Observing gestures, such as how people stand, move their hands, or hold their arms, (allow) us to gather information beyond spoken words. To interpret body language (effective), we have to understand cultural differences. For instance, making eye contact can indicate interest in one culture, while could be seen as rude in another. In Middle Eastern countries, it is common for men and women to avoid direct eye contact. In Japan, looking down when (speak) to an older person shows respect.

Gestures often hold various meanings. The "OK" sign, when (use), may mean money in Japan, zero in France, or even be considered impolite in Brazil. Similarly, head (movement) for "yes" and "no" differ; in Bulgaria and Albania, shaking the head means " yes," which contrasts with other parts of the world.

Certain actions, such as moving your hand in circles over your stomach after a meal (represent) "I am full", seem the same everywhere. However, gestures like a smile are multifunctional, being used to greet, apologise, or start a conversation. Smiling, helps build connections and deal with problems, can even improve our mood. Experts recommend smiling oneself in the mirror to feel happier and more confident.

Understanding such slight differences helps us connect (well) with people worldwide, making communication smoother.

"Many yard and garden tasks require enough effort to count as medium-intensity exercise," says Dr. I-Min Lee, a professor at Harvard Medical School. And the U.S. physical activity guidelines call for doing at least 150 minutes per week of medium-intensity exercise. You can spread it out over the week or focus on just two days during the weekend.

Several yard and garden tasks — digging holes, shoveling soil, or bagging fallen leaves, for example — strengthen various muscles. Besides, gardening or yard work, like walking, swimming, and dancing, has a low rate of injuries when compared with higher-intensity activities such as running. There's even evidence that gardening can reduce stress and anxiety. This makes gardening an effective approach to well-being.

"If you enjoy gardening and yard work, it can be a good way to meet your exercise goals," says Dr. Lee. " In this way, you are more likely to stick to them consistently."
