We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say. It is important to know the body language of every country or we may be misunderstood.In theUS, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal discussion. The handshake must be firm. If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness. Friends may place a hand on the others arm or shoulder. Some people, usually women, greet each other with a hug .Space is important to Americans. When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about 2.5 feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly. Americans get unfortable when a person stands too close. They will move back to have their space. If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, Pardonme. or Excuse me.Americans like to look at the other in the eyes when they are talking. If you dont do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested. When you stare at someone, however, it is not polite.For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very good or well done. Thumbs-down means the opposite. To call a waiter, one might put up one hand to head level or above. To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as you are signing a piece of paper. It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger(食指). Americans shake their index fingers at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them.Learning a cultures body language is sometimes confusing(困惑的).
