To communicate well with other people,you must learn to speak well,right? Yes,but speaking isn’t everything.Some experts say that only thirty percent of communication comes from talking.Your gestures and other non-verbal(非语言的)actions matter,too.But in different cultures,the same action can have different meanings. When you have to meet someone from a different culture,be prepared.Do you know what kind of gestures and customs are appropriate(合适的)? If you understand culture differences,you’ll be a better communicator—even before you open your mouth!
