communityugging, and so on. The convey or show messages-----particularly how intimate we feel----and their meaning can vary a lot between cultures. Hands touching in one culture may be an act of great intimacy, whereas in another. . . simply a sign of friendship.毫升的英文
awfulSo tho are Porter's static features. Let's now look at his dynamic features. The are basically things like facial expressions, gestures, eye contact, and uh, body movements. Facial expressions, the continually change during a conversation, and participants constantly watch and respond to each other's expressions. The expressions usually communicate the emotions and attitudes of the speaker. In some communication studies, it's been estimated that facial expressions provide 55 percent of the meaning of a message; vocal cues, such as, pitch and volume, provide 38 percent; and verbal cues only 7 percent. So, a person's expressions em to be a better indicator of his meaning than words, which play a minimal part.
OK, now where are we? Oh. We're looking at Porter's dynamic features of communication. Next we come to gestures. You know, one of the most important parts of gesturing, hand m
ovements, is one of tho least understood by scientists. Most are not universal, and as we all know, the same gesture can have different meanings in different countries. Here in the U. S. we make a circle with our thumb and first finger and it means "OK.." In Japan, however, it means "money," and in South America it has a xual meaning. We have to be very careful about what our bodies are saying. . . especially when in a different culture.matured
毒药英文Now Let’s move on to eye contact. Eye contact is a very powerful form of nonverbal communication. One thing about eye contact that is generally agreed on is that someone with higher status usually maintains eye contact longer if he's talking to someone of lower status. In other words, he stares. Anything el you think a direct stare indicates?
Student: Determination. . . uh. . . openness.

Teacher:关于圣诞节的ppt Yes, they do, but also modesty, in some cas. And eyes rolled upwards suggest tiredness. I don't e any of that right now. I m glad to say! And the last, the fourth item is body movement. You know, it's interesting that a lot of the work on nonverbal communication has been done for corporations. They want to improve their employees' performance. So for example, if you lean forward in an interview, this might suggest you're energetic, somebody prepared to make major changes. If you hold yourlf at your tallest, uh, this suggests you're probably a prenter, and good at lling yourlf or the organization. And with side-to-side movements, if you take up a lot of space while talking by moving your arms a lot, you're en as a good informer and listener, so you're desirable to the company. See?
So to finish up, here are five things that differentiate verbal and nonverbal communication. I'd like you to note them down. First, while spoken languages differ from country to country, emotions are communicated in much the same nonverbal way throughout the world. Second, although we know a lot about the grammar of spoken language, we still don't know very much about the "grammar" of NVC. Third, we don't hav
e any dictionaries for NVC. If you go to a foreign country and somebody makes a hand gesture you don't understand, there's no dictionary to help you. And fourth, we can ask for repetition or clarification of what somebody has said, but it's practically impossible to ask, "Could you repeat that smile?" or "What does that facial expression mean?" We have to understand nonverbal communication the first time around. And finally, we can hide our true feelings with spoken language, but it's more difficult with NVC. We can't just stop ourlves from turning red. or slow down our heartbeat, right? So whether we like it or not, body language can't lie----although I'll bet there are times we all wish it could.
So in conclusion then, nonverbal communication is an integral part of communication. OK, now let's quickly get into groups and talk about some of the differences I've just mentioned. This is what I want you to do. Just pull your chairs around. . .
