So I went into the shop at the airport, for I wanted to buy a digital camera. Of course I knew no Japanese, so I spoke to her in Chinese first and then in English. It seemed that she was at a loss when I spoke to her. Then I decided to try it in body language. I just pointed to the camera that I like most-Sony Cyber-shot DSC-P100. The salesgirl spoke to me in Japanese this time but I couldnt understand a word of it. So I shook my head and kept pointing at the camera. Finally I reached her understanding and she took out the camera I wanted to buy. I examined it for a little while and asked her the price of it by drawing a big “?” in the air with my forefinger. She took out her calculator and put in the price. The price was reasonable and I decided to take it. I paid for it and the salesgirl bowed to me again and again.T: Wonderful! Thank you for telling us so interesting a true story and giving us so good an example of body language.Step While-reading1. Scanning While reading, please try to divide the whole passage into several parts and find out the main idea.Part 1 Para 1 You are sent to Capital International Airport to meet this years international students.Part 2 (para. 2 and 3 )Examples of learned or cultural “body language”.Part 3. (para. 4 ) Different peoples have different body languages.Part 4. (para. 5) Summary of body language.Read the text carefully, then decide if the following statements are true (T) or false (F). Englishmen often stand close to others or touch strangers as soon as they meet. Most people around the world now greet each other by kissing . Japanese will bow to others as greeting. People from Jordan will move very close to you as you introduce yourself to them. Some body languages in some countries are good while some countries body language are bad.Step IV Post reading1. Is the author of this passage male or female? How do you know ? The author is male. Ahmed Aziz will not shake hands with women, but he shakes hands with the author.2.What were the two mistakes that the author noticed? He noticed that the Colombian man kissed the British woman, but in her culture, a kiss from a stranger is not acceptable. He also noticed that the Japanese man bowed just as the Canadian man started to shake hands, so one mans nose touched the other mans hand. 3. Who seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others? Who seemed to prefer closer physical distance ? The British woman, Julia, and probably the Canadian man, George, seemed to prefer to keep more physical distance from others. The Colombian man, Tony, and the Jordanian man, Ahmed, seemed to prefer closer physical distance . 4. Did any students have similar greeting customs? If so, which ones? Yes. Tony from Colombia and Darlene from France had a similar greeting custom-a kiss. George from Canada and Ahmed from Jordan also had a similar greeting custom-a handshake, but Ahmed shakes hands only with men.5. “ When in Rome, do as the Romans do.” What do you think this famous saying means? This saying means that when we are in a certain place, we should follow the customs of the people who live in that place, not our own customs.6. Do you agree with the authors statement that body language is not good or bad? Why or why not? Students will give their own answers.Step Homework1.

You will be given 3 minutes to read through the text as quickly as you can, trying to get as much information from the text as possible. Ss: Yes, Sir.T: What information have you got?S1: More about body language, sir. We have learned how people are municating or getting along with each other besides using spoken language. We are also asked to think about some new situations in which we will municate in body language.S2: And we have to think about the following questions: It is known that a smile is a sign that people feel friendly and happy. But we have to consider: 1. What if we dont know who the new person is? 2. What if we are not introduced by a friend? 3. What if we are meeting a stranger in an unfamiliar place?S3: And the most important of all is that we have to makesure whether we can trust people we do not know, and we have to show that we are not dangerous.S4: Quite true. We have different ways to show our hands our open hands, which means that we are not armed and we are friendly.S5: In many cultures today, the Western custom of the handshake is used. Besides this, traditionally, Chinese greet others by covering the left hand with the right hand and bowing; the Japanese cover on hand with the other and bow slightly or quite low, depending on whom they gree
