What is body language
Body language is one form of nonverbal communication (非言辞交际) without using words. Eye contact or gaze, facial expression, gesture, and posture (姿势), or the way you stand, are different kinds of body language.
Some psychologists believe that we communicate 65% of our ideas and feelings without words! The shape of our bodies and faces, the movements and gestures we make, the clothes we wear, how near we stand to each other and whether we touch each other … all these communicate.
