another thing is that in england you can always start a conversation by talking about the weather.interviewer: i understand that complaining is different in the west. is that right?ms wang: actually, yes. as strange as it may seem, westerners always say sorry before they complain. people would find you quite rude if you did not.interviewer: thank you, ms wang. that was very interesting and good luck with the book. ms wang: thank you.answers 1 t 2 f 3 f 4 f 5 t 6 f 7 f 8 t 9 ttapescriptprofessor: ill be speaking about some gestures today. much of todays lecture will be surprising to you, so you may want to take notes.some of the most common american gestures have very different meanings in other areas of the world. take the handshake for example. in america, a strong, firm handshake shows a confident person, someone you can trust, a good leader, but people might be surprised in asia and the middle east where they prefer a much looser handshake. other american gestures are considered very rude in other countries, such as direct eye contact. to an american, eye contact shows that someone is telling the truth or is interested in what he or she hears. but if you lived in parts of asia or africa, people might be offended.there are many chances for you to be confused by gestures and body language when you travel. nodding your head up and down foryesand shaking your head from side to side for nomean the opposite in parts of eastern europe. the same applies to waving your hand left to right for hello and goodbye. this can mean noin asia and parts of europe! if you go to argentina, you might be offended and think someone is calling you crazy when you see them point at their head or ear and move their first finger in a circle. although this means someone or something is crazy in america, in argentina, it just means that you have a phone call!if you want to get someone to come over to where you are, you might hold your hand, with the palm up and fingers facing in, and curl your first finger in and out. but dont do that in asia, because it isnt very polite.the last gestures i want to talk about are what we call thumbs upand the oksign. if you close your hand and hold up your thumb, this gesture is used in many countries, but it means the number one in germany and japan instead of good joblike it does in america. if you make a circle with your thumb and first finger, and point the other three fingers up, you are saying yesor that something is okay if you are in america. but in france it means zero, in japan it means money, and if you are in brazil or germany, it is very rude!so you see, gestures are a big part of body language and can change from country to country. this means it is very important to ask people what they mean if you arent sure. body language and spoken language are not meant to be understood by themselves. when we put them together, that is when we can make our meanings most clear.answers (1) good (2) telling the truth (3) yes (4) no (5) hello or goodbye(6) crazy (7) where you are/your place (8) good job (9) ok3. lets do listening on page 104 in workbook to improve your listening skills. answers listening part a and b (page 104) 1 radio tv2 news programmes teaching programmes films 3 newspapers books4 a learners dictionary5 oxford advanced learners dictionary6 coloured clear everyday similarskills building 2: formulating written questions the activities in the section aim to help you write questions clearly and accurately. 1.read guidelines on page 34 to make sure you know what to do. think about why these questions should be asked like that.2.complete the rest two questions in skills building 2 on page 34. answers 2 last night, we watched a television show on cctv 8. did you see it? if so, did you like it?3 i finished a book last night. how about you? what happened in the last book you read? step 2: surveying your classmates in this part we will use what we have practiced in step 1 to talk about different gestures. please read the guidelines and the situations below and try to fill in blanks on page 35. sample answers 5 you and your friends are taking photos in a park. you are posing and your friend is holding a camera. after a flash, your friends holds his hand with fingers pointing up and palm facing out. index finger and thumb make an o. a he is saying ok. b he is asking you to pose again. other: 6 your daughter and you are going shopping. you want to buy a new skirt for your daughter. you pick up a blue one and show it to her. she shakes her head from side to side. then you pick up a red one. she nods her head up and down. your daughter a likes the blue skirt. b is satisfied with the red skirt you chose. other: 7 all of your family are enjoying a big dinner on mid-autumn day. after the meal, you lean back and pat your stomach with the palm of your hand. you mean: a oh, i am full. its quite delicious. b i have got a stomach-ache. other: sample answers 1 a 2 b 3 a 4 a 5 a 6 b 7 a skills building 3: organizing a reportin this part you will learn how to organize information for a report properly and how to sort it into four main sections. sections.3. lets go over the guidelines, and check our answers, and then number them in the logical order.answers 8 4 2 6 3 5 1 9 7 step 3: writing a report on body language in this part you will write a report on body language based on the information we have collected in steps 1 and 2. 1. please read the guidelines on page 37, so you will have what should be written in mind. 2. please review the results you have collected and record the answers by using the form in part 1.3. lets go over each step suggested in part 2 and write the report.sample answersin this report the writer talks about body language used in both china and the united states. it looks at how the same gesture is used in the two different countries and how the gesture expresses different meanings in the two countries. it also states the similarities and differences of body language in these two countries. the information was collected from my classmates through a survey. in order to conduct the survey, i created some situations and answers for some common gestures for my classmates to respond to. after collecting their answers, i recorded their answers and analyzed the statistics.from the out
