We also move our faces and bodies to communicate without language—for example, when we smile, wave, or shake a person’s hand. This is called “non-verbal communication.” With non-verbal communication, we can communicate a feeling, a question, or a command—for example, when we point with a finger. Some gestures have the same meaning everywhere, but not all non-verbal communication is international. Face and body movements often mean different things depending on the country and culture.

Kat_05 This weekend, my friends and I are going to an amusement park, and then we're going out for a meal. My best friend says she can’t go because she’s seeing her cousins. The problem is: it isn’t true. Yesterday, I used her tablet to look up something online and I saw a message from her mom. My friend isn't going out on Saturday because her dad lost his job and it's too expensive. She’s my best friend and I really want to hang out with her. I got some birthday money from my grandpa last month, so I can pay for her. So my question is: should I do anything? Jared_2004 Say nothing. You only know this because you read her private messages and that was wrong. She doesn’t want anyone to know about her family’s money problems. You should respect that. Mara I think you should offer to pay for her. She can say no if she wants to. She’ll understand that you’re a kind person and that you only want to help her. Ali44 You say that you want to hang out with her, so do something different. You don’t need to go anywhere expensive. Have a sleepover or a cookout at your house. Then everyone can go. 2 Read again.
