■Procedures
Step 1: Studying examples of body language
Body language is an important part of communication which, according to at least one study, constitutes around 55% of what we are communicating. If you wish to communicate well, then it makes sense to understand how you can (and can’t) use your body to say what you mean.
B: You may be right.
C: If you shake hands with someone, you show you trust them. A: What about shaking hands when we make a deal.
C: It means, “We agree and we trust each other.”
A: I am from China. I think traditionally in China, when we greet someone, we put the right hand over the left and bow slightly.
D: And Muslims give a “salaam”, where they touch their heart, mouth and forehead.
D: Can we say that people give away much more by their gestures than by their words?
C: Yes, you can. Homework for today is: Look at your friends and family and see if you re a mind reader!
