KIỂM TRA HỌC KỲ I ĐỀ 3 Đọc đoạn văn sau và chọn câu trả lời đúng nhất. Body language. What does it say? More than half of what we communicate is communicated not through words but through body language. This includes our postures, facial expressions, and gestures. Because body language is so important, you will want to know what yours is saying and how to interpret other people’s, too. Here are some examples of body language and its meaning. (Note: These meanings are for Norht American. Interpretations may differ a bit in other cultures.) A smile is a sign of friendliness and interest. But people sometimes smile just to be polite. To get a nother clue from people’s face, notice their eyes. Friendliness and interest are expressed when a person’s eyes meet yours (especially when you are the one who is talking) and then look away and meet yours again. A person who desn’t look away is expressing a challenge. A person who doesn’t look at you is expressing a lack of interest (or is shy). Hand gestures can mean a person is interested in the conversation. Stay away from someone who points at you while talking with you: That person might be angry at you or feel superior to you.
