What are some gestures that you used when you were a child that you don't use anymore?
학생이 쓴 원문
I do not recall any gestures that I used when I was a child. Instead, let’s talk about gestures that could be interpreted differently in different cultures. It is important to understand possible contradictions in the meanings of gestures such as hand signals and head movements. Raising one hand with fingers extended upward, and palm facing outward commonly means "Stop!" among most cultures. However, people of Greek or Turkish origin may also read it as a rude and angry gesture of dismissal. In the US and the UK, raising the thumb from a clenched fist and making a circle with the index finger and thumb, suggest positive or affirmative meanings. However, people from Iran or the Mediterranean, may regard these gestures as obscene. For most cultures, shaking the head from side to side indicates a negative reply, while nodding the head is an affirmative gesture. However, in Albania and Bulgaria they are the opposite. Sitting with legs crossed is offensive to people from Ghana and Turkey.

Good afternoon Sir [이름]!
Thank you for an informative essay.
Wow! Really? I think we should know a lot of things about negative gestures when we go to a different country.
It is difficult to have a misunderstanding.
I was surprised with the nodding of the head. Hihihi!
Thanks for a marvelous and perfect composition today.
I hope that you had a marvelous time during the holiday.
