When we speak,we put our thoughts into words,and when we gesture,we put our thoughts into our hands.But gestures don’t just show what we’re thinking—they actually help us think.Toddlers(初学走路的孩子) who are encouraged to gesture tend to start producing more words.Adults involved in various problem-solving tasks do better when they are encouraged to gesture.Putting ideas into motions brings us closer to grasping what we need to grasp.

A.Newborn babies don’t gesture.
B.Gesture and language are closely related.
