We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of very country or we may be misunderstood. In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the other’s arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug. Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space.

If you don’t do so, It means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. But when you are staring at someone, it is not polite. For Americans, thumb-up means yes, very good, or very well-done. Thumbs down means the opposite. 29. From the passage we can learn that _____. A. gestures don’t mean anything while talking.
