31、g to a pioneer in nonverbal communication, only 30 to 35 percent of our communication is verbal. When people dont know the language, the most common way to communicate is through gestures. However, many gestures have different meanings, or no meaning at all, in different parts of the world.In the Un

In the United States, there

38、are certain topics to avoid when you first meet someone, For example, dont ask people their age, weight, religion, marital status(婚姻状况), how much money they earn, or how much something costs.
