二、任务型阅读
When we communicate with people from other cultures, small body language can carry big meanings. Smiling is always friendly in every culture. But some gestures are different. Thumbs-up means “good” in China, but it is rude in some Middle Eastern countries.
Eye contact is also different. In Western countries, looking into others’ eyes shows honesty. But in many Asian countries, avoiding eye contact shows respect for elders.
Nodding the head means “yes” in most countries. However, in some parts of Greece, it means “no”.
Before using body language in foreign countries, we’d better learn its local meaning. Wrong gestures may cause misunderstanding.
31．What does smiling mean in almost all cultures
32．What does thumbs-up mean in China
33．What does eye contact show in Western countries
34．What does nodding the head mean in Greece
35．Why should we learn body language before going abroad
Cultural Differences Between China and Western Countries
There are many cultural differences between China and Western countries, especially in greeting and gift-giving.
In China, people usually greet each other by saying “How are you ” or asking about their family. When we receive gifts, we often open them after the guest leaves. It is a way to show politeness. In Western countries, people often greet each other with a hug or a kiss on the cheek. They usually open gifts immediately and say “Thank you” to show their appreciation.
These differences are not good or bad. We should respect them and learn from each other. Only in this way can we have better cross-cultural communication and make more friends.
