VI Reading
Read the text below and answer the questions

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 posture, facial expressions, and gestures. Because body
language is so important, youll want to know what yours is saying and how to interpret other
peoples, too. Here are some examples of body language and its meaning. (Note: These
meanings are for North America. 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 another clue from peoples faces, notice their eyes. Friendliness and interest are
expressed when a persons eyes meet yours (especially if youre the one whos talking) and
then look away and meet yours again. A person who doesnt look away is expressing a
challenge. A person who doesnt 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.
