6. Work in groups of four. Use what you have read in the passage to help you answer the following questions.

7. How can we know others’ feelings, even if they don’t speak to us?
We can watch the expressions on people’s faces; we can see whether they face us or look away; we can observe how they hold their arms and hands; we can see whether they are close to or far away from others. Are they smiling,frowning, shrugging, holding their arms in front of them or touching other people?

8. 2. Why should we be careful of our own body
language?
We should be careful of our own body language as we must be sure not to be impolite in other cultures, and we need to communicate without being misunderstood.

9. 3. Why is it important to watch others as well as listen to them?
We need to watch other people because they may be communicating one idea in words and a different one in body language.

10. 4. What are some jobs in which using body language is extremely important?
Body language is very important in any job where clear communication with others is necessary. For example, teachers and medical care people should have good clear body language; anyone who is interviewing people for jobs (and the people being interviewed) should communicate clearly; anyone giving orders or directions needs good body language; people working in diplomatic jobs and in some government jobs.
