Infer meaning
Sometimes things are not said directly, and so you must guess the meaning, relationship of the people, or context. You can do this by:
drawing conclusions from the background information you already have.
looking at clues that tell you the context.
using logic to work out the meaning.
Part 3
Post-listening
W: What were you doing just now What did those gestures mean
M: Oh, I was just telling my friend over there to meet me for lunch down the street
in twenty minutes.
W: Oh, I get it, so you were sending him secret hand signals.
M: Yeah, we got the idea from an action movie last night and decided to try it out for fun. In the movie, the police were trying to enter a house, but they had to be really quiet so they could take the criminals by surprise. So, the police leader used hand gestures to tell his team what to do. For example, he used this gesture to tell them how many bad guys were in the house. Then he gave instructions on who should go where, and what they should do. I thought it was pretty cool how they used hand gestures to communicate.
W: Well, you know, you can say a lot without speaking. I've been taking acting classes, and right now we're learning how to use body language to express ourselves.

M: Wow, that's cool. So you mean you're not allowed to talk, right
W: Yes, and it's really difficult if they want you to express something complicated without saying a word. But I'm slowly getting better at it, I guess.
M: That reminds me of those Charlie Chaplin movies. I guess it's not easy to tell a whole story only using body language.
W: Yeah, he was a real master. Everyone in my class loves his movies. We actually had to watch some of his movies and act out some scenes. I was such an amateur!
M: Well, it's good you tried. Now, by your body language, I can tell that you want to buy me lunch tomorrow. Am I right
