Reading.
Read the article.
Then identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
Body
Talk!
To communicate well with people of other countries, you must learn to speak
well, right? Yes, but speaking isn’t everything. Some experts say only thirty percent of
communication comes from talking. Your gestures and other non-verbal actions matter, too.
But
in different cultures, the same action can have different meanings. When you have to meet someone
from a different culture, be prepared. Do you know what kind of gestures and customs are
appropriate?
Let’s look at shaking hands. North Americans like a firm handshake. But the
French prefer a light, short handshake. If you shake a French person’s hand the North American
way, he or she may not like it.
People in Eastern European countries and some Latino cultures
prefer shorter handshakes, too. Hugging after shaking hands is also a common introduction there.
Don’t be surprised if a Brazilian gives you a hug. If you misinterpret gestures of
introduction, your relationship may get off on the wrong foot!
Everyone around the world knows
the “OK” hand gesture, don’t they? But in Spain, parts of South America, and
Eastern Europe, the OK sign is considered rude. And if you go shopping in Japan, it means you’d
like your change in coins instead of bills. In France, making the OK sign means “zero” or
that something is worthless. So check before you use the OK sign to be sure it’s
OK!
Understanding even a few key gestures from different cultures can make you a better
communicator. So next time you travel, try being culturally sensitive. Find out the local gesture and
let your body talk.
