Suggested answers to Exercise 2:
1 We can watch the expressions on people's faces;we can see whether they face us or look away;we can observe how they hold their arms and hands;we can see whether they are close to or far away from others.Are they smiling,frowning,shrugging,holding their arms in front of them or touching other people?
2 We should be careful of our own body language,as we must be sure not to be impolite in other cultures,and we need to communicate without being misunderstood.
3 We need to watch other people because they may be communicating one idea in words and a different one in body language.
4 Body language is very important in any job where clear communication with others is necessary.For example,teachers and medical care people should have good clear body language;anyone who is interviewing people for jobs (and the people being interviewed) should communicate clearly;anyone giving orders or directions needs good body language;people working in diplomatic jobs and in some government jobs.
