Body
language is an important part of every language. This body language, however,
is interpreted differently from culture to culture.
Laughing
An
American-style smile, for example, is big and friendly. Americans are never
afraid of showing their teeth. They don't cover their smile with their hands
because they think that such a gesture is a silly thing to do. In fact, putting
the hand in front of the mouth when laughing is considered impolite. It means
that you are making fun of the other person.
Eye contact
When
speaking, Americans do not close their eyes.This eye contact is very important
in the U.S. They believe that 'honest people look at you directly, dishonest
people look to the side, and embarrassed people look down.' If you close your
eyes while talking with them, they will think you either bored or asleep.
