Although we usually identify communication with speech, communication is composed of two dimensions - verbal and nonverbal.

Nonverbal communication has been defined as communication without words. It includes apparent behaviors such as facial expressions, eyes, touching, tone of voice, as well as less obvious messages such as dress, posture and spatial distance between two or more people. Activity or inactivity, words or silence all have message value: they influence others and these others, in turn, respond to these communications and thus they are communicating.

Commonly, nonverbal communication is learned shortly after birth and practiced and refined throughout a person's lifetime. Children first learn nonverbal expressions by watching and imitating, much as they learn verbal skills.

Young children know far more than they can verbalize and are generally more adept at reading nonverbal cues than adults are because of their limited verbal skills and their recent reliance on the nonverbal to communicate. As children develop verbal skills, nonverbal channels of communication do not cease to exist but they become entwined in the total communication process. Câu 37: . According to the writer, ________.

A. One cannot communicate in both verbal and nonverbal language. B. People communicate with both verbal and nonverbal language. C. Those who can listen and talk should not use nonverbal language. D. Nonverbal language is only used by the deaf and the mute. Câu 38: Which is NOT included in nonverbal communication? C. words B. spatial distance A. tone of voice D. facial expressions

Câu 39: Human beings ________.

A. can communicate in nonverbal language only when they are mature B. communicate in nonverbal language much less than they do in verbal language C. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language through books D. have learnt how to communicate in nonverbal language since a child

The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced the American education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools.
