Non- verbal communication

Yesterday im comm's class,

we going through the chapter on "non-verbal communication"

The teacher showed us a video clip, in japanese, and we could only figure out what the characters were talking about through their expression and body language.

And throughout the entire video clip, i actually understand what it was about.

just by looking at their body language and expressions.

Non-verbal communication is plays a very big part in movies, especially when the movies in

different languauge.

for example, the guy in the movie, was grabbing his pants, when the drunk man was moving too near to the lady.

From his body language, i could tell that he was uncomforable and agitated by the dunk.

He didnt have to say that he was angry or anything, his actions says everything.

There was no need for words to be spoken, or any subtitles needed.

We understood the video just by how the characters communication with us non-verbally with his body language and expression

this is what i think!

Comment me if you agree of think otherwise :D

I read this article on the newpaper today and the heading goes,

" Free refills? No problem"

The refills meant rice!

this particular hawker have not adjusted the price of the food : it had alway been $2.

and is giving the workers free refill of rice despite the trippling of the rice prices.

but under one condition,

quoted from the newpaper

"You have to pay $3 if you don't finish it (refills of rice)."

Although the prices of the rice are hitting almost $1,400 a ton,

and he had been paying three times the price for rice then usual because of the increase in price.

Still, he doesn't mind refilling rice for the construction workers.

i thought that this was really generous of him,

he did not rise the prices of the food nor did he make people pay for refilling rice.

putting a fine on those people who doesn't finish their rice is a good deterrent against wastage.

Having the fine, it stops "kiasu" of people from coming. They would think twice about having extra rice.

Rice is very important to asian,It's the main source of food for us.

singaporeans cannot survive without rice, so when they get rice for free and unlimited refills,

they would take advantage of it.

the more they have for free, the merrier they'll be.

Give me comments about what you think!
