Sometimes people add to what they say even when they don't talk Gestures are the
"silent language" of every culture We point a finger or move another part of the body to show what we want to say It is important to know the body language of every country
or we may be misunderstood In the United States, people greet each other with a handshake in a formal introduction The handshake must be firm If the handshake is weak, it is a sign of weakness or unfriendliness Friends may place a hand on the other's arm or shoulder Some people, usually women, greet a friend with a hug
Space is important to Americans When two people talk to each other, they usually stand about two and a half feet away and at an angle, so they are not facing each other directly Americans get uncomfortable when a person stands too close They will move back to have their space If Americans touch another person by accident, they say, "Pardon me."
or "Excuse me." Americans like to look the other person in the eyes when they are talking If you don't do so, it means you are bored, hiding something, or are not interested But when you are stare at someone, it is not polite For Americans, thumbs-up means yes, very good, or well done Thumbs down means the opposite To call a waiter, raise one hand to head level or above To show you want the check, make a movement with your hands as if you are signing a piece of paper It is all right to point at things but not at people with the hand and index finger Americans shake their index finger at children when they scold them and pat them on the head when they admire them Learning a culture's body language is sometimes confusing If you don't know what to
do, the safest thing to do is to smile
