Assignment 3

As to nonverbal language, it is sure there is difference of gestures and eye contact between America and my country, which can be performed as less type but connoting more emotion.

With my experience, people in China use less kinds of gestures as we do not like to express entire emotion we have, perhaps for the sake of independent eastern culture in which implicit express is more popular and acceptable form the on the tradition. For example, you will never know what she means when a girl is staring you kindly, unless she tells or is call for more specific behavior. She is attracted by you; wants to borrow a ruler; or just is greeting to somebody behind you, even none of them. They tend to use same gesture to portray much distinct feeling.

On the other hand, less gestures account for more plentiful emotion some of which can be opposite, which is more clearly represented by the our language which are more supposed to be explained in perspective of connotation than formula.
However, nobody denies that people from different country, even they are far away, share some gestures, and eye contact, and body space which I think is almost same for American and Chinese. We usually don't stand too close to feel unsafe, but we never keep far so that we cannot hear each other as Japanese do.
We use nonverbal language is not because we are lazy but feel more intimate and express more various emotion,
