TAPESCRIPT
Oliver [‘ɔlɪvə]: Hey Francesca, look! It’s a quiz about body language … you know … all those things we do without knowing it which tell people how we feel or what we’re thinking.
Francesca[fɹˈantʃɛskə]: I know what body language is, Oliver.
Oliver: Oh, OK, so … first question … if someone you were talking to suddenly folded their arms, it would tell us they were a) happy, b) feeling defensive, or c) about to cry?
Francesca: I’d say b, wouldn’t you? People fold their arms to sort of protect themselves.
Oliver: Yes, and sometimes when they’re cross! My teacher used to do that! Anyway, we’re right – it is b. Now, next question … How much of what we say is actually communicated through body language and gestures rather than spoken? Is it a) 50 percent, b) 75 percent, or c) 90 percent?
Francesca: Er … I’d say a, 50 percent
Oliver: I’ve read about this and I think it’s more than that. I’ll say 75 percent. Now … let me check … wow, no! It’s 90 percent! That’s amazing! I didn’t think it was so reliable!
Francesca: I don’t think it is always reliable, actually, Oliver.
Oliver: OK, well, here’s another question for you. If you are out with a friend and they start doing the same things as you’re doing, can you tell me what it means? a) they like you, b) they dislike you, or c) they’re bored.
Francesca: I have a feeling it means they like you, so I’m going to say a. Do you agree?
Oliver: Yes, I do … and we’re … right! It says here that’s called mirroring, and when people do that it means they like us a lot. I can’t say I’ve ever noticed anyone doing it with me.
Francesca: Don’t worry! It doesn’t mean nobody likes you!
Oliver: Right – what about this question … what automatic gesture do people make when they first see someone they like? Do they a) smile and show their teeth, b) touch the person on the arm, or c) raise their eyebrows?
Francesca: Hmm … tricky. I’d say a, they smile.
Oliver: I think it’s b – well, we touch people when we like them, don’t we?
Francesca: So … who’s right?

Oliver: Neither of us! It’s c! It says we do something called the eyebrow flash when we see someone we like – we can’t help it – it’s automatic. Our eyebrows go up then down again very quickly. And … it’s the most common sign of a friendly greeting anywhere in the world!
Francesca: Really – this body language is quite something, isn’t it.  Now … any more questions…

Body language
Your body language is the way in which you show your feelings or thoughts to other people by means of the position or movements of your body, rather than with words.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Body language: An important part of our communication is non-verbal. It consists of gestures, body movements and facial expressions. However, these gestures and expressions are not always universal. For example, nodding the head means ‘yes’ in most countries. However, it also means ‘no’ in some parts of Greece, Bulgaria and Turkey.
Eye contact is important in America and Europe, but it can be rude in most Asian countries and in Africa. Closing your eyes in Western cultures often means ‘I’m bored or sleepy’. However, in Japan, Thailand and China it can mean ‘I’m listening and concentrating’.

Telepathy [tə’lepəθɪ] : A person who is telepathic [telɪ’pæθɪk] is said to be able to read the thoughts and stored information in the brains of others.

Sign language [saɪn]: This is a method of communication, especially used by people who are deaf or hard of hearing. It uses a system of facial, hand and other body movements to express meaning. Each sign has three distinct parts: the hand shape; the position of the hands; and the movement of the hands.
Sign language is not universal; British Sign Language is different to American Sign Language, and neither is based on English or any other spoken language.

Braille: Braille is a system of touch reading and writing for blind persons in which raised dots represent the letters of the alphabet.  It also contains equivalents for punctuation marks and provides symbols to show letter groupings. Braille is read by moving the hand or hands from left to right along each line.  The reading process usually involves both hands, and the index fingers generally do the reading.  The average reading speed is about 125 words per minute. But, greater speeds of up to 200 words per minute are possible. By using the braille alphabet, people who are blind can review and study the written word.  They can also become aware of different written conventions such as spelling, punctuation, paragraphing and footnotes. Most importantly, braille gives blind individuals access to a wide range of reading materials including recreational and educational reading, financial statements and restaurant menus.  Equally important are contracts, regulations, insurance policies, directories, and cookbooks that are all part of daily adult life.  Through braille, people who are blind can also pursue hobbies and cultural enrichment with materials such as music scores, hymnals, playing cards, and board games.

Morse [mɔːs] Code: This is a form of electronic communication developed by Samuel Morse in the early 1840s. Morse Code consists of a series of dots and dashes which represent the letters of the alphabet and numbers 0–10 (e.g. S is represented by ● ● ●, O by_ _ _ , A by ●_ .)
It was tapped out on a machine and sent by an electric current along cables. It was then decoded at the other end of the cable. Morse Code was still used by international air forces and navies until the late 1990s.

Semaphore [‘seməfɔː] Any equipment used for visual signalling by means of flags, lights, or mechanically moving arms, which are used to represent letters of the alphabet, or words.
