Do you shake hands with someone when you meet him or her for the first time? Do you open your mouth and eyes wide when you are surprised? Do you smile when you meet your friend? These are examples of body language.
How important is body language? It is said that our body language talks about 50% of what we really mean while words themselves only talk about 7%. So, while your mouth is closed, just what is your body saying. . .
Remember that your body language can help you talk with people. And these rules(规则) will help you to get your message across, without any words at all.
● Smile when you are listening
● Nod your head to tell the others that you understand.
● Remember! In English—speaking countries, it is polite to look at h person you are speaking to in the eye. It is not rude.
● Look confused when you don't understand. This tells the person you are speaking to that you would like an explanation (解释).
