[00:09.30]BODY LANGUAGE SPEAKS VOLUMES

[00:12.56]Body language is used to communicate attitudes

[00:15.77]and feelings.

[00:17.07]Every culture uses a set of gestures,

[00:19.83]facial expressions and body movements together

[00:23.18]with words to make a message clear.

[00:26.03]Nowadays, as people travel more,

[00:28.57]and come in to contact more frequently

[00:30.61]with people of different cultures,

[00:32.86]they rely on communicating in body language

[00:35.43]when they do not share

[00:36.95]a common spoken language.

[00:39.27]This can be quie successful.

[00:41.25]For example, at food markets

[00:42.88]in foreign lands,

[00:44.04]it is quite easy to show the seller

[00:45.92]what we would like to purchase

[00:47.61]by pointing to a particulare food and smiling.

[00:50.43]On the other hand,

[00:51.45]we can easily show what we do not like

[00:54.29]by shaking our heads.The message is clear.
