What do you think “body language” means?Can you answer the following questions?Body Language is a form of non-verbal communication.
It uses movements or positions of our body to show other people what we are thinking or feeling.
It includes body movements, facial expressions, gestures, posture , speaking distance and other non-verbal signals.What is body language?Have a very quick look at the text and answer:(1) What’s the title of the text?
(2) Why is there a question mark instead of an exclamation mark behind “No problem”?
(3) What do you think the text is about?Read the text carefully and then answer the following questions.1. Why are the people visiting China?
2. What parts of the world are not represented by the visitors?They are visiting China because they’re interested in the development of business in China.Africa, Australia and Central America.3. Why is Julia Smith surprised?

6. Is the main character male or female? How do you know?They shake hands & kiss each other twice on each cheek.From the 5th paragraph we know that there are only two women, one is Julia Smith, the other is Madame Coulon, so the main character must be a man.

The questions below may give you some hints.Can we expect people everywhere to act the same? Why? Why do you think we need to study body language? People in different parts of the world don’t act the same. Their body languages vary from culture to culture and may be different because of social background. Learning a foreign language is more than learning the knowledge of the language itself. It is important for us to be aware of the culture difference because it is crucial and indispensable for successful communication.Assignments: Remember the new words and expressions of Unit 4.
