Body Language
Body language is one of the most powerful means of communication, even
more powerful than spoken language.People usually use body language to
send messages to one another.It plays a great role because it can help make
you easily understood.When talking with others ， you’re not just using
words，but using expressions and body movements.
Different countries have different body language.When you use a foreign
language，it is important to know the meaning of gestures and movements in
the foreign country. Using body language in a correct way will help
communicate with people and make the stay in a foreign country easy and
comfortable.
In a word，I think it necessary to learn and use body language in our daily
life.
