In this report the writer talks about body language used in both China and the United States. It looks at how the same gesture is used in the two different countries and how the gesture expresses different meanings in the two countries. It also states the similarities and differences of body language in these two countries. The information was collected from my classmates through a survey. In order to conduct the survey, I created some situations and answers for some common gestures for my classmates to respond to. After collecting their answers, I recorded their answers and analyzed the statistics.
From the outcome of my survey, we can see that for most of the gestures, people in both countries share the same meaning, as with the gestures of the head nodding up and down, the head shaking from side to side and thumbs up. There are also some differences in the meaning of some gestures. For example, there are differences in the meaning of the gesture of waving, when the palm faces out and the hand moves left and right. In the USA it means ‘Hello’, but in China it means ‘No’, a negative answer. Nowadays, some young Chinese also use this gesture to greet others. So with the increase in cultural, educational and economic exchangebetween the two countries, the differences in body language between the two nations will become smaller and smaller.
These results suggest that people from different cultures more or less can understand each other by using these gestures. It seems that in the future we can make full use of body language to help us convey our ideas or feelings when we talk with foreign friends.Language points

Nowadays English is one of the most widely used languages in the world and is one of the working languages of the UN. It is spoken as a native language in the UK, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and other countries. It is spoken as an official language or second language in countries such as India and Nigeria. In these countries, English is the language of the government, newspapers, and radio and TV stations.
As a foreign language, it is learnt in almost all non-English speaking countries. In China, for example, it is not just students who learn English, but also many adults. It is said that over 90 per cent of internet web pages and over 80 per cent of the world’s mail are in English.
Although there are some differences between the English spoken in different countries, people from these countries usually have no problems communicating with each other. Language points: 1. The Chinese language differs from many Western languages in that it uses characters which have meanings and can stand alone as words. (p38) 汉语与很多西方语言不同，区别在于汉语使用的基本单位汉字本身就具有意义，可以独立成词。
