【参考范文】
Body language is a way of communication. However, people from different cultures
may misunderstand the gestures they use. For example, when we nod at somebody we
mean we agree with his opinion. But in some countries nodding one’s head
means disagreement. We generally think looking at somebody in the eye shows that we
are listening to him attentively, while in some nations, it is rude. People may have
different body languages even if they live in the same country. Therefore it is very
important for you to have a good understanding of the body language there if you are in a
foreign country.
