Text: Exchanging Glances: More to It than Meets the Eye?
★The Rules for Eye Contact for the British:
1. passing strangers in the street: You must avoid staring at them but at the
same time avoid ignoring them. To be exact, you may look at the approaching
strangers until they are about 8 feet away, then your glances must veer away as
they pass.
2. Communicating with one another: British practice expects eye contact,
though this does not have to be constant.
3. Addressing an audience: in addressing an audience, a British lecturer should
look at his audience now and then. For him to bury his nose in his manuscript is
frowned upon.
