feelings. However, it varies _f_r o_m___ culture to culture. For example,
making eye contact together with the gesture for “ok”, “yes” and “no”
_d_i _e_r_s_(di er) around the world. For example, in many Middle Eastern
countries, men and women are not s_o_c_i_a_ll_y(social) permited to make
eye contact. In Japan, it may show respect to look down when speaking
with the older people. There are also di erences in how we touch each
other, how close we stand to someone we _a_re__ta_l_k_in_g_(talk) to and how
we act when we meet or part. In countries like France and Russia,
the
people may kiss their friends on _______cheek when they meet while in
shaking
other countries of the world people approve of _______(shake) hands,
bowing or nodding.

head with our eyes closed means “sleep”. If we are full afer a meal,
we can move our hand in _c_i_r c_l_e_s_(circle) over our stomach.
On the other hand, some body language has many di erent uses.

di cult situatons, nd friends and break down barriers. Yo u can also
make _y_o_u_r_s_e_lf_(you) feel happier and stronger by smiling. If you feel
down, there is nothing _b_e_t_e_r_(good) than seeing the smile of your
good friend.
