Homework:
Dear Jack，
Knowing that you want to learn some body languages widely used in China, I am glad to tell you some.
In China, we wave our hands to say "hello"or "good-bye". And we usually greet our guests by shaking hands with them. Sometimes people may nod and smile instead of shaking hands. Like in many countries, we nod our heads to say "yes" and shake our heads to say "no". Besides, people will hold their thumbs up to praise a person if he does something great. Last but not least, we bow to show great respect and thanks to others.
I hope this information will be helpful to you.
Yours，
Li Hua
