3．Below is a selection from a book on how to communicate with gestures．
When travelling to a different country，your safest bet is to limit gestures as much as possible．However，you may find that your gestures happen out of habit．Understanding gestures of the country you are visiting may prevent you from communicating the wrong message．In North America，eye contact （接触） communicates to the speaker that you're interested and listening．In Asia，people look away to concentrate on what the speaker is saying．Taking the time to familiarize yourself with the gestures of the country you are visiting will help you connect with the people of the foreign environment，Lydia Ramsey writes in"Manners That Sell"．
Gestures in Brazil
Muck like the Italian culture，a Brazilian snaps his fingers （打响指） and uses exaggerated （夸张的） hand movements when emphasizing a statement．The sense of warmth and friendliness with each other is shown through the gesture of eye contact when communicating and standing close together in lineups or when talking to each other．Communicating a greeting is more than the gesture of a handshake，but also involves the touch of the forearm，according to the Nonverbal Communication Web Project's Charlene Wu．
Gestures in China
China is influenced by Confucius'way of thinking，which is reflected through its culture．You communicate a greeting in China with the gesture of a slight nod and bow．To communicate respect，you keep your head lowered．In china，the gesture of standing close during a conversation prevents having to communicate with a raised voice．A person will communicate her surprise during a conversation with the gesture of breathing in air loudly，rather than a loud outburst．
Gestures in Russia
Gestures considered common to Americans may be considered rude in Russia．The American gesture to communicate"okay"，with the forefinger and thumb touching and three fingers up，is considered rude in Russia．Looking at your watch is a rude gesture communicating impatience．Russians also feel upset about the gesture of communicating direction by pointing．
Gestures in India
Gestures used in India are representative （有代表性的） of its traditional culture．In India，the gesture of holding out the hand to communicate giving or receiving must be done with the right hand as a person in India uses her left hand for washing．The gesture of communicating respect at a religious ceremony is done by removing your shoes．The proper way of communicating direction is to use either the whole hand or by using your chin （下巴）．The proper form of communicating a greeting is to press the palms together with fingers upward and say，"Namaste"．
