One sits, stands, smiles, winks, etc，all can convey his information, attitude and emotion. Each body language in different country has different meaning. Even on particular occasion, the same body language in the same country may have different significance. For example, we can observe one’s smile when he is speaking, which can indicate his happiness, friendliness, approval,?satisfaction, satire, dread, sadness and etc. According to Wikipedia, research has suggested that between 60 and 70 percent of all meaning is derived from nonverbal behavior. So in order to communicate effectively in a foreign language, one should know the gestures, body movements, mannerisms. that
