Step V. Summary
T: What can we learn from this lesson?
S1: When communicating with others, we can use not only spoken language, written language, but also body language, such as postures, facial expressions, gestures and so on.
S2. Body language divides from culture to culture. Sometimes, the same gesture has different meanings, while sometimes, some different gestures have the same meaning. So we should always remember: different culture, different body language. Wish you can do better and better in communicating.
T: Very good!
