Hello!

Today I am going to write about body language. I will tell you about what body lanuage is, I will show you some examples, and show you a video.

Body language is an other way to talk together, without using your voice. If you travel to other countries you have to be careful, because hand signs you do in your country can mean something else in an other country. If you send a message/epost to a friend where you write "you are an idiot" that person dont know if you are kidding or if you realy mean it, but if you say it face to face it so much easier to know if she/he is kidding because you can see how his/her body language is.

This is an video where you can see why you have to be careful with your body language:



Now I am going to show you a picture of some diffrent hand signs and tell you a little about what they means in Norway.

















1. If you show you muscles it is like saying that you are strong.
2. If you do a heart with your hand, it symbolizes love.
3. That means that every thing is perfect/good.
4. If you show your hand like that, it means stop.
5. Thumbs down means that something is not good.
6. Thumbs up means that every thing is ok/good.
7. If you do that to a person, it means that, that person is a looser.
8. Symbolizes peace.

I hope you learned alot about body language, by reading this!
