People can communicate with one
another not only through verbal
communication but also through
nonverbal communication; moreover, the
latter plays an essential role.
According to some researchers abroad,
in people’s daily life, nonverbal
communication takes part over 65% in all
of information exchange. And body
language is an important part of nonverbal
communication.
Body language contains eye language,
gestures, postures, facial expressions,
manners and behaviors and touch and so
on.
Eye Language
As saying goes “The eyes are the
window of the soul”. That is to say, we
can read one’s mind through his/her eyes.
Eye language can express complicated
feelings.
Gesture means we communicate and
express by the movement and manners of
our hands and fingers.
Posture is a matter of how people sit, walk,
stand and move.
Touch refers to the way people exchange
information by touching one’s body. The
most common touch behavior is hands
shaking and hugs.
Facial Expressions
The face has been called an ‘organ of
emotion’ because we constantly read
facial expressions to understand what
others are feeling. The face provides vital
clues to our own feelings and those of the
people around us. Of all the nonverbal
channels, the face is the most important
broadcaster of emotions.
