I Summary
The listening is about the differences in body language among
cultures That sometimes can cause trouble in communication First, the author defined body language as people’s actions and facial
expressions Moreover, it had been indicated that the majority of people use body language in their conversation without realizing it The author also talked about some typical examples of body language differences between America and other countries One of them is eye contact In some places, eye contact represents impolite and bluntness However, it is emboldened in America Communicate without eye contact can make the conversation confusing and amateurish In
addition, she presented the meaning of some gestures such as
handshake, thumbs up, and holding hands Each of the movements will have different meanings with different people and in different
situations Finally, she suggested that smiling can be used when
communicating in every culture
II Reflection
The listening provides me with some interesting knowledge about body language that I haven’t heard before Now I can confidently communicate with native speakers without scare of using wrong
gestures The thing that I find the most surprising is eye contact
Before listening, I always think that eye contact means showing my respect to the person whom I’m talking with
