Building skills b two, two students are talking about body language. After the lecture, listen to the talk and complete the notes below. That lecture about body language was interesting. Wasn't IT. Did you notice any differences in body language when you went to australia this summer? Oh, I changed my plan and went to europe instead. And I did notice that some things were quite different there, particularly the kissing. People in spain, italy, in france, like to kiss you on both cheeks when they meet you. I didn't like that. I felt so awkward. Oh, how's strange? Well, IT is because, in general, people stay further apart when talking or sitting, and they like to have more personal space, but then there is more hugging and kissing. I thought people sly, they shook hands when they met. Yes, in britain they do. But if you made friends and then you were saying goodbye, they would give you a hug. Another thing that is different in britain is how often people say sorry, even if IT is not your fault, IT is often expected that you apologize. IT seems very strange to me. Oh, isn't IT funny how things are different in different cultures. Well, the one thing we definitely do Better than the europeans is counting. counting. Yes, they use two hands to counter ten. I was trying to ask if there was a train at nine o'clock using my fingers when I was in spain, but they had no idea what I meant. Then they held up nine fingers on two hands, and I realized that was how they counted. Oh yes, I agree. Our system is much more convenient.
