It’s a common understanding that the body speaks. In different cultures, gestures and mimes add meaning
to people’s ideas. For instance, in eastern cultures people bow when they meet an authority figure to
show respect. Think about the most common messages sent through the body in your country and write
a text about what they mean, and when/how they are generally sent.
