CHRISTMAS
The Christmas season very early in Britain. By the end of October, you may see Christmas decorations in the streets and Christmas cards and gifts in the shops. Traditionally, people start to decorate their houses one or two weeks before 25th December is Christmas Day.
There are a lot of traditions connected to Christmas. The most important one is the giving of presents. Family members wrap up their gifts and leave them at the bottom of the Christmas tree on Christmas morning. Children leave a long sock or at the end of their bed on Christmas Eve, 24th December, hoping that Father Christmas will appear during the night and them small presents, fruits and nuts. They are not usually disappointed. Sometimes on Christmas Day, the family will sit down for a big turkey dinner and Christmas pudding. Later in the afternoon, they may watch the Queen on television as she her traditional Christmas message to the United Kingdom and the Common Wealth. they have rooms for even more food, they may enjoy a piece of Christmas cake or eat a hot mince pie. 26th December is also a public holiday, Boxing Day, and this is the time to visit friends and relatives or watch football.
Read the passage and choose the correct answer to each question.
Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. However, it is important to remember that body language differs significantly between cultures. Take, for example, eye movement. For example, in the USA, children are taught to look directly at a parent or teacher when being scolded. In contrast, in many other cultures, looking directly at an authority figure in such a situation is seen as disrespectful, and children are expected to avoid direct eye contact.
Another form of body language that varies across cultures is personal space or distance. In North America, people tend to keep more physical distance from each other compared to people in South America. For instance, two North Americans who do not know each other well will stand about four feet apart. However, South Americans in the same situation might stand only two to three feet apart. North Americans typically reduce that distance only in private conversations or when there is an intimate relationship.
Gestures also differ from one culture to another. Although we use gestures like pointing a finger, raising an eyebrow, or waving an arm to communicate, they do not always have the same meaning everywhere. For example, sticking out your tongue may indicate a mistake in some cultures, while in others, it could be considered a sign of ridicule or disrespect.
The risks of miscommunication are high when it comes to body language. Learning a culture’s verbal language is not enough; it is just as important to understand its non-verbal signals. To communicate effectively, we must be aware of both spoken words and body language in different cultures.
