Answers 8 4 2 6 3 5 1 9 7 Step 3: writing a report on body language
In this part you will write a report on body language based on the information we have collected in steps 1 and 2.
1. Please read the guidelines on page 37, so you will have what should be written in mind.
2. Please review the results you have collected and record the answers by using the form in Part 1.
3. Let’s go over each step suggested in Part 2 and write the report. Sample answers 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 exchange between the two countries, the differences in body language between the two nations will become smaller and smaller. 7
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.
