UNIT 1
Body language is a great way of communication which shows emotions ,
intentions , and attitudes without the use of words.
In English speaking cultures, certain gestures may have different meanings
depending on the context . For example , a smile is generally seen as a
friendly n gesture indicating happiness or approval. However, in some
situations, a smile may be perceived as insincere or inappropriate.Similarly,
eye contact is an important aspect of body language. In English speaking
cultures, eye contact could be seen as a sign of attentiveness and respect
in a conversation, but it is not always the case. Prolonged eye contact can
be interpreted as aggressive or confrontational. It is essential to be mindful
of cultural norms and individual preferences when using eye contact as a
form of communication.

Posture and gestures also play a crucial role in conveying messages


through body language. In English speaking cultures, standing up
straight with shoulders back is often associated with confidence and
assertiveness. Slouching or crossing arms may be perceived as
defensive or disinterested. Hand gestures can vary in meaning
depending on the culture.Greetings are another essential aspect of
communication. In English speaking cultures, greetings serve as social
lubricants that establish rapport and show respect for others. Common
greetings in English include hello, hi, good morning, good afternoon,
and good evening. The appropriate greeting may vary depending on
the time of day and the level of formality in the situation.
TEXTO

Handshake is a way of greeting. In many English speaking cultures, a


handshake could be firm and it would demonstrate confidence and
professionalism. However, it is essential to consider cultural differences
when greeting others with a handshake. In some cultures, such as
Japan, bowing is the preferred form of greeting instead of shaking
hands.
in addition to verbal greetings, physical gestures such as hugs or kisses
on the cheek may be used to greet friends or family members in
informal settings. It is important to be aware of personal boundaries
and cultural norms when using physical gestures as greetings.
