Please help me to correct my essay! Today's topic is body language.As we all kown, nonverbal communication plays an important role in a conversation.But different gestures mean different things in different countries.As for today's entry I'd like to introduce some unique body language in China to you. If you saw two girls walking hand in hand on the street or school or other place,don't be surprise.They are not lesibian,but good friends.They use 'hand in hand' to show how close they are.That's quite common in China,especially for teens.Speaking of this ,I've heard some foreingers are confused by the intimacy between two men because they put their hand in each other's shoulder.The truth is this gesture also means we are good friends. Stamp your foot probably means you're impatient in western countries.In china , it is a sign of anger or regret.Especially when girls are very angry,they have no choice but to stamp their foot, because they can't fight .Next time when you talk to a girl who is stamping her foot,please leave her alone. When Chinese are full they touch and pat their stomach gently.This is really a classic action. In my opinion one of the most important gestures in China is we use two hands to send or receive a gift or a red packet.It reprensents respect.My parents taught me this polite manner when I was a little girl and I will pass it down to my children in the future.

If you saw two girls walking hand in hand on the street or in school or any other place, don't be surprised.They are not lesbians, but good friends.They use 'hand in hand' to show how close they are. That's quite common in China, especially for teens. Speaking of this, foreigners are confused by the intimacy between two men because they put their hands in on each other's shoulders.The truth is this gesture also means we they are good friends.


Stamp Stomping your foot probably means you're impatient in western countries. In China, it's a sign of anger or regret. Especially when girls are very angry, they have no choice but to stamp stomp their foot, because they can't fight. Next time when you talk to a girl who is stamping stomping her foot, please leave her alone.

When Chinese are full they touch and pat their stomach gently. This is really a classic action.
