三、必背文段
Dear Andrew,
I am Li Hua. How is everything getting along with you? Learning that you are heading for
America for further study, I am writing to inform you of the importance of body language.
Body language is a way of communication. However, people may misunderstand the gestures
from different cultures. For example, when we nod at somebody, we mean we agree with his
opinion. But in some countries, nodding one’s head means disagreement. It is generally recognized
that looking somebody in the eye shows that we are listening to him attentively, while in some
districts, it is considered to be rude.
Therefore, it is of significance for you to have a good understanding of American body
language if you are in America. Hopefully, you can adapt to the life there as soon as possible.
