Do you use hand gestures when you talk? Do

Body language does not use words.
According to American scientist Edward T.
Hall, in a conversation between two people, 65 per cent of communication is
body language. In some cases you even express yourself without words. For
example, your friend asks you to join him in a picnic; you give him an "OK"
gesture to say: "Yes, sounds great!"You
may do things unconsciously (无意识地) like touching your face while telling a lie.
In different cultures, the same body
language means different things. In the USA, making eye contact with someone
means you are interested in what the person is saying.
Sometimes, different body language
expresses the same meaning. Take "hello" for example. French people
kiss cheeks (脸颊) to say hello. Japanese people bow (鞠躬).
Maoris (毛利人) in New Zealand, however, touch noses as
greeting.
What are you trying to say?
Understanding
this language helps you to communicate better with others.
