We are always using body language in our daily
communication. W hen we talk with each
other, we may use body language. For example, in the USA, people point to their heads
when they think someone is clever. However, human beings are not the only ones
who use body language. Animals also use body language and facial expressions to
tell each other how they feel and what they think.
When a dog is happy, its ears will stand up and its
eyes will be wide open When it is angry, it will look straight at you. If an
elephant spreads its ears, it means “Watch out!” To show friendship, elephants
will touch each other with their trunks. Dolphins live in groups and like to
show each other their feelings. An angry dolphin will sometimes slap its tail
on the water. A happy dolphin will play with its friends, making small jumps
into the air. Not only humans but also animals can use body language to
communicate, but the ways they “talk” to each other are different.
