Step 3:
Writing a report on body languageIntroductionProcedures/MethodResults/FindingsConclusionSample answers
This report is about body language used in
both China and the United States. It looks
at how the same gesture is used in 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
situation sand 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 'N0.', a negative answer. Nowadays,
some young Chinese also use this gesture to
greet others. So with the increase in cultural,
educational and economic exchange between
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.
