Exercise 3 Listen to Part 2 of the interview and complete the table.

What differences are there in the way people actually express themselves using hand movements and that sort of thing?

Well, people from "open" cultures, like the Italians, tend to use a lot more hand movements, you know, using not only their hands but their arms. People in more "closed" cultures, like the Japanese, Northern Europeans and even Americans, don't used hand movement nearly as much.

Mm, yes.

Also, people from "open" cultures usually look more directly at the person they are speaking to. The British and American often look at people to start with and then they took away. People from Eastern cultures like Japan, never look directly at the other person. To look at someone very directly is extremely rude.
