26. Body language tends to support and add to spoken language
Body language tends to support and add to spoken language. Both body language and spoken language use symbols to represent meaning; in the case of spoken language, we use sounds and sounds combinations to represent words and meanings. They both depend on our ability to interpret what we see or hear.

27. 3. Sometimes we say one thing but our body language says something different. Why does this happen? Can you think of any examples?
There are several situations where a person’s body language may not match what he or she is saying: a speaker who is trying to sound confident but whose hands are shaking;

28. a person who says that he or she is interested in what we are saying but who looks away or taps his or her feet, etc. It probably happens because it is more difficult to control one’s body language than to control what one says.
