Body Language
Body language is used by people for sending messages to one another. It is very useful because it can help you make yourself easily understood. When you are talking with others, you are not just using words, but also using expressions and gestures. For example, waving one' s hand is to say "Good bye." A smile and handshake show we[collie, and clapping hands means congratulations. Nodding the head means agree ment, but shaking the head means disagreement. The gestures are accepted both by Chinese and foreigners as having the sallie meanings. Different countries have different body language. For example, men in Russia, France and Arab countries kiss each other when they meet, but men in China or Australia shake hands instead of kissing. People in Puerto Rio like touching each other, but people from English speaking countries do not touth each other. If you touch an English person, you should say "Sorry." People in Arab countries like standing close to one another when they are talking, but English people must keep a distance away when they are talking. In some Asian countries, you must not touch the head of another person. In Arab countries, you eat using the fingers of your right land; the left hand is not used at all. In parts of Asia you must not sit with your feet pointing at another person.
When you use a foreign language, it is very important to know the meanings of gestures and movements in the foreign country. Following the customs will help you communicate with people and make your stay there much more pleasant and comfor table.

身势语
身势语是用来帮人们传递信息的，身势语非常有用，因为它可以使对方很容易地明白你自己的意思。我们同别人谈话时，并不仅限于用言语来表达，我们还用表情和身体的动作来向对方表达要传递的信息。例如：挥手表示“再见”，微笑和握手表示欢迎，拍手表示祝贺，点头表示同意，摇头表示不同意。这些手势对说汉语的人和说英语的人来说，都具有相同的意思。
