Body Language.



This session, I take newspaper as my seminar class. I find it is quite interesting that we can write whatever we like.


Jess, Heather and I are in the same group, and body language is our topic. In order to do a good job, we collect a lot of information. The most significant thing is to interview people who come from different cultures, and ask them to think one of body languages in their countries. It's interesting that some cultures have the same body language, but quite a different meaning.



look at the right picture. Can you guess the meaning of this gesture in Greece? If you want to know it, please pay special attention to the next newspaper. keep in mind that you can't do it to a Greek.

Do you notice that body language can help us a lot to communicate with others, especially for YUELI students. When we don't know how to spell, we can describe the shape of it. On the other hand, body language is not only means gesture but also sounds.
Even thought body language is veru useful, we must make sure the meaning of it before we use it. Because it will bring you a big problem, if you use it in a wrong way.

I have heard that people use body language even when they don't realize it, just by they way they sit or stand, physically looking bored or interested or worried -- but not noticing that they look that way.

The gestures can mean lots of different things.

In most countries, if you shake your head from side to side it means no , but if you nod your head up and down it means yes. There's one country where that's the opposite. Do you know where?

I hope you're feeling better!
