B. Answer question:
Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don’t talk. Gestures are the “silent language” of every
culture. 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 Americans touch another person by
accident, they say, “Pardon me.” Or “Excuse me.” Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when
they are talking. 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.
