Body language is an important part of communication. If you want to communicate well, it's important to understand how to use your body to say what you mean, especially when you're in a foreign country.
If a person is bored, he won't look at the person who is talking to him. He will find other things to do. He may also keep looking at his watch or a clock. If a person is open to you, his arms and legs will not be crossed. And if a person is relaxed, you will know it by looking at his body, and even his breathing(呼吸) is slower.
Here are some examples of body language.
Body language | Feeling |
Sitting with legs crossed | Closed |
Sitting with legs apart(分开) | Open, relaxed |
Walking with hands in pockets and head down | Sad |
Putting hands to cheeks(脸颊) | Think about something |
Hands clasped(紧握) behind back | Anxious or even angry |
