Reading the Signs.
Body language can be very informative, but if you jump to conclusions when you interpret a particular gesture, you may misinterpret what it means. For example, people who look away to avoid eye contact may not necessarily be lying: they could just be very shy.
To understand body language, therefore, we need to observe a combination of behavior that a person displays. With lying, for example, look out for any or all of these:
  • Avoidance of eye contact
  • Going red
  • Biting fingernails
  • Sweating a lot
  • Excessive hand gestures
Interpreting gestures.
Here are some common interpretations of gestures, although bear in mind the danger of making generalizations about body language (as stated above).
  • A clenched fist shows anger. Folded arms may imply stubbornness.
  • People who lean towards each other are displaying an interest in each other.
  • Women who fancy someone often fiddle with their hair; men stroke an earlobe. Women lift their heads to show more of their neck when they're flirting.
A/ Answer the questions.
1) Why shouldn't we judge a gesture too quickly?
-
2) What are the signs showing that someone is lying?
-
3) What should we do to understand body language?
-
4) If someone is pressing their hands together too tightly, what are they feeling?
-
5) If you are interested in someone, what thing you will be likely to do?
-
B/ Read and decide if these statements are true, false, or not given.
1. Body language can provide you with much information.
2. One may misunderstand a gesture by avoiding coming quickly to conclusions.
3. A liar always looks straight at you when talking.
4. If someone tries to avoid eye contact, he/she must be shy.
5. A liar often moves his/her hands too much when talking.
6. If you find someone with a red face, he/she must be a liar.
7. Stubborn people fold their arms to express their feeling directly.
8. If someone is leaning towards you when talking, he/she must be interested in you.
9. When a woman is interested in someone, she often keeps playing with her hair.
10. When a man is interested in someone, he often touches his ear as hard as he can.
