Match the country with its body language meaning.
Jane: (Waving) Hi, Kangkang, Yukio!
Yukio: (Bowing) Hello, Jane!
Kangkang: Yukio, when Jane says “Hi”, she waves her hand, but when you say “Hello”, you bow.
Yukio: Yes. In Japan, we bow when we meet. We also bow to say “thank you”, “goodbye”, “sorry” or to ask for help.
Jane: That’s interesting. In Canada, we wave to say “hello” or “goodbye”.
Kangkang: (Nodding) It’s the same in China.
Jane: (Laughing) Kangkang, just now you nodded your head to show your agreement. But in India, it is quite the opposite. While nodding means “no”, shaking the head from side to side means “yes”.
Kangkang: How interesting! So the same body language can mean different things in different cultures.
Yukio: Yeah! And in most countries, it is bad manners to use your finger or hand to wave someone to come to you. Do you know this?
Jane: Is that so? We must be careful when we use body language to communicate with people from different countries.
Kangkang: I agree!
