32、 know how to communicate nonverbally, before saying anything by making gestures. According to a pioneer in nonverbal communication, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people dont know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures
33、 have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.In the United States, for example, nodding your head up and down means “yes”.

38、hing closer makes them feel uncomfortable.When talking to Americans, it is also important to make eye contact. If you look down when talking to an American, he / she may feel that you are embarrassed, afraid, or trying to hide something.In addition to knowing how to communicate nonverbally in a coun
39、try, it is important to know what you and he cannot discuss. In the United States, there are certain topics to avoid when you first meet someone, For example, dont ask people their age, weight, religion, marital status(婚姻状况), how much money they earn, or how much something costs. You can talk about
