T: In the last class we have known something about body language through listening and speaking activity. We have known that we could communicate not just by words but also by our expressions and body languages or movements, sometimes we may even communicate better and more clearly using body language than words. For example, nodding the head means agreement in our country, while in some Asian countries it means disagreement.
