We use both words and body language to express our thoughts and opinions in our interactions 1 other people. We can learn a lot about what people are thinking by watching their body language. Words are important, 2 the way people stand, hold their arms, and move their hands can also give us information about their feelings.
Just like spoken language, body language 3 (vary) from culture to culture. The crucial thing is using body language in a way that is appropriate to the culture you are in. For example, making eye contact—looking into some’s eyes—in some countries is a way 4 (display) interest. In other countries, by contrast, eye contact is not always 5 (approve) of. For example, in many Middle Eastern countries, men and women are not 6 (social) permitted to make eye contact. In Japan, it may demonstrate respect to look down when 7 (talk) to an older person.
The gesture for “OK” has different 8 (mean) in different cultures. In Japan, someone who witness another person 9 (employ) the gesture might think it means money. in France, a person encountering an 10 (identity) gesture may interpret it as meaning zero. However, you should avoid 11 (make) this gesture in Brazil and Germany, as it is not considered polite.
Even the gestures we use for “yes” and “no” 12 (different) around the world. In many countries, shaking one’s head means “no”, and nodding means “yes”. By 13 (compare), in Bulgaria and southern Albania, the gestures have the opposite meaning. There are also difference in 14 we touch each other, how close we stand to someone we 15 (talk) to, and how we act when we meet or part. In countries like France and Russia, people may kiss their friends 16 the cheek when they meet. Elsewhere, people favour shaking hands, bowing 17 the waist, or nodding the head when they meet someone else.
