Some of the most common American gestures have very different meanings in 36　 　areas of the world. Take the handshake for example. In America, a strong, 　37　 　handshake shows a confident person, someone you can trust, a good leader, but people might be 38 　in Asia and the Middle East where they prefer a much looser handshake. Other American gestures are considered very 39　 in other countries, such as direct eye contact. To an American, eye contact shows that someone is telling the truth or is 40　 in what he or she hears. But if you lived in parts of Asia or Africa, people might be 41　 . There are many chances for you to be confused by gestures and body 42　 　when you travel. 43　 　your head up and down for “ yes” and shaking your head from side to side for “no” mean the 44　 　in parts of eastern Europe. The same applies to waving your hand left to right for “hello” or “goodbye”. This can mean “45 ” in Asia and parts of Europe! If you go to Argentina, you might be offended and think someone is calling you crazy when you see them 46　 　at their head or ear and move their first finger in a circle. Although this means someone or something is 47　 in America, in Argentina, it just means that you have a phone call!

If you 48　 　to get someone to come over to where you are, you might hold out your hand, with the palm up and fingers facing in, and curl your first finger in and 49　 . But don’t do that in Asia, because it isn’t very 50　 .

The last gestures I want to talk about are 51　 we call ‘thumbs up’ and the ‘OK’ sign. If you 52　 　your hand and hold up your thumb, this gesture is used in many countries, but it means the number one in Germany and Japan 53　 　of ‘good job’ like it does in America. If you 54　 　a circle with your thumb and first finger, and point the other three fingers up, you are saying ‘yes’ or that 55　 　is okay if you are in America. But in France it means zero, in Japan it means money, and if you are in Brazil or Germany, it is very rude!
