What are the key points of each paragraph
Tip 2: To write a summary, we should look for the key points of each paragraph which show the main ideas of the paragraph.
P2. We use "learned" body language when we are introduced to strangers. Like other animals, we are on guard until we know it is safe to relax. So every culture has developed a formal way to greet strangers, to show them we are not aggressive. Traditionally, Europeans and Americans shake hands. They do this with the right hand—the strongest hand for most people. If our right hand is busy greeting someone, it cannot be holding a weapon. So the gesture is saying, "I trust you. Look, I'm not carrying a threatening weapon." If you shake hands with someone, you show you trust them. We shake hands when we make a deal. It means, "We agree and we trust each other."
P3. Greetings in Asian countries do not involve touching the other person, but they always involve the hands. Traditionally, in China, when we greet someone, we put the right hand over the left and bow slightly. Muslims give a “salaam", where they touch their heart, mouth and forehead. Hindus join their hands and bow their heads in respect. In all of these examples, the hands are busy with the greeting and cannot hold a weapon.
P4. Even today, when some people have very informal styles of greeting, they still use their hands as a gesture of trust. American youths often greet each other with the expression, "Give me five!" One person then holds up his hand, palm outwards and five fingers spread. The other person raises his hand and slaps the other's open hand above the head in a "high five". Nowadays, it is quite a common greeting.
Tip 3: To write a summary, we should find out the topic sentence, which tells you what the subject of the paragraph is.
Task 6 Line out the topic sentence of Para 2-4.
Task 7 Write down the main idea of each paragraph.
