English Corner 弋果新鮮事

今天新鮮事要跟大家討論的是我們的肢體語言: body language and how it influences us, and how it's different in Taiwan compared to in the West. 不同的國家或文化會用稍微不一樣的肢體語言來表達自己。人跟人之間的交流60-70%都是透過肢體語言，只有小部份才是透過語言。What is body language 什麽是肢體語言? 肢體語言通常都是在我們不知覺的情況下表現出來的，譬如: 害羞的時候會低頭，或者是心情不好的時候把手橫在胸前。 什麼又是Personal bubble 個人的空間呢? 外國人說自己跟他人的之間的距離是personal bubble，當你的personal bubble越大，就代表你喜歡跟別人有一點距離。 (For more about this topic, please listen to the show.)
