 Did you ever hear anyone tell you that 90% of communication is nonverbal? now if you look at the broadcaster on TV, you'll see how they communicate. They will have to rely on your body language for your facial expressions to deliver the emotion of your message, not all communication is done with words. people look at you to show they are listening and smile when they like you. you can tell if someone is shy excited or blue, long before you talk to them. we use nonverbal communication every day in every conversation. I will try to answer all of the exercises related to Non-verbal communication.

Exercise 4

There are so many people who behave the same as Li who are shy and don't dare to speak, but we have to look at the situation and try to adjust it. what did Ms. Davidson is right. he just wanted to know how active his students were when they were in class and asked his students about the assignments. Li thought that when he spoke without being asked it was rude and he looked embarrassed and looked down when his teacher asked. that's a natural thing and it would be nice if we see the condition that when the teacher is asking a question, we should answer it and pay attention to it with a little eye contact or something.
