Body language across the world
It's well-known that we all send messages through body language，however，sometimes it can be easy to forget that each culture has its own body language.Understanding（理解） body language in other countries is key to successful communication （交流），especially when we know nothing about a foreign language.
Eye contact（接觸）
In many countries such as in the USA，Australia or UK and in Western Europe，looking the person in the eyes when talking shows your respect （尊敬） for the speaker.It means that you are interested in and paying attention to what is said.However，in other cultures in Asia，too much eye contact is not polite and even disrespectful.
Handshakes
Shaking hands is a usual way to greet in many cultures.In Romania，for example，only men usually shake hjye.ais.And they do it every time they meet，not just the fist!In England，however，it's unusual to shake hands.
The "V" sign
In the United States，the "V" sign means "peace".However，it can be very rude in other places such as the UK，Australia and South Africa when the back of the hand is facing the other person.
Head movements
In many countries，nodding your head usually means that you agree to something.But for Bulgarians and Greeks，it means quite the opposite.And in India，people move their heads from side to side to show they are actively listening.
Truly，each person is different and understands body language according to his or her culture and personal experience.So the best thing to do is to stay open-minded and learn more about other cultures.
