Body Language
Body language is used by people for sending messages to one another.It's an important form of nonverbal language,including facial expressions,gestures,eye contact,etc.
Body language provides us with hidden signals in communication.For example,we can tell that one is in a rush when he constantly checks his watch in talking.Thus,wrapping up the conversation soon is a wise choice.Proper use of body language can break the ice and get the hints in conversation but we also need to be careful when using body language,as it goes hand in hand with cultural differences.
Convenient and useful as it may sound,remember,nodding your head may not mean yes in some cultures.
1.hint n.暗示;迹象
2.in a rush匆匆忙忙
3.go hand in hand密切相关;齐头并进
