NON-VERBAL COMMUNICATION plays a crucial role in conveying messages and emotions beyond words.

Here are
some of the most important means of non-verbal communication:
Facial Expressions: The face is incredibly expressive and can convey a wide range of emotions without a single word.
Happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, fear, and disgust are universal emotions expressed through facial expressions.
Body Language: This includes posture, gestures, and movements. The way a person stands, sits, or moves can indicate
their feelings and attitudes. For example, crossed arms might indicate defensiveness, while open body posture can
signal openness and friendliness.
Eye Contact: Eye contact can regulate the flow of communication, show interest and attention, and convey sincerity or
deceit. It plays a critical role in social interactions, with varying cultural norms.
Gestures: Hand and arm movements can express many things, from pointing and waving to more complex actions like
beckoning or using sign language. Gestures can complement or replace verbal communication.
Proxemics: This refers to personal space and how physically close we get to others. It varies by culture and context,
indicating intimacy, aggression, or formality.
Haptics: Touch is a powerful non-verbal tool. A handshake, hug, pat on the back, or a touch on the arm can convey
support, comfort, and affection, or assert power and control.
Paralanguage: This includes tone of voice, pitch (the degree of highness or lowness of a tone), volume, speed, and
intonation. How something is said can be more important than what is said, indicating emotions like sarcasm, anger,
or enthusiasm.
Appearance: Clothing, accessories, hairstyles, and general grooming (aseo) convey a lot about a person. They can
indicate social status /ˈsteɪ.təs/ , profession, personality, and even mood.
Posture: The way one stands or sits can indicate confidence,
/səbˈmɪs.ɪv.nəs/
openness, defensiveness, or submissiveness. For instance,
leaning forward can show interest and engagement, while
slouching might indicate disinterest or fatigue.

Silence: Silence can be a powerful communicator. It can signal contemplation, discomfort, disagreement, or consent.
The context of silence often determines its meaning. /ˌpʌnk.tʃuˈæl.ə.ti/
Chronemics: This involves the use of time in communication. Punctuality, the amount of time spent on a task, and
waiting times can all convey messages about respect, importance, and urgency.
Each of these non-verbal communication methods works together with verbal communication to provide a fuller, more
nuanced understanding of the messages being conveyed. Understanding and being aware of these non-verbal prompts
can significantly improve interpersonal communication and relationships.

a. The candidates say that volunteering is a good way to meet people, as you work with other volunteers
who have similar interests to you and there is an incentive to get on with your colleagues. The fact that you
are not working for money means there will be less competition.
b. The candidates say that you do not really know if someone is a friend until you meet them. You can think
someone is a friend on a website but change your mind when you meet them in person. Also, social
networking sites don't help when you have moved to a new place.
