Don't Believe Everything You Read

Summary/Reaction

We should not believe everything we received from newspapers, television or Internet, especially Internet.
We should very careful about the spam. For example, these mails would ask your signature and bank account information to let your money to be transferred. Then they would transfer all your money to the sender’s account. However, there always exceptions, such as a woman who sold her car called “Mercedes Benz” only for $75 on the Internet. At first, a man who did not believe the mail, but after he checked several times, then he bought it. After few days, the man can not stand anymore, so he called the woman, the woman told him that it was her husband’s car. Her husband left her because another woman, so her husband told her to sell the car and send him half the money.

I think we should very careful about the spam, advertisements and the telephone call and so on, or you would lose your money even your families. In modern society, technology become improvement, you never know what their next plans.

We use body language everyday, whether you are an adult or if you are a child. For example, in Japan, they usually bow when they greet each other. However, the most intersting item is they even bow to each other while they are talking on the phone. Body language is very important in communicating with each other, but it is easily misunderstood, so it is very important to learn how to use body language.

Even if they cross their arms it might mean that they are angry. Proximity is about the distance that the speaker is talking to the listnener. This distance varies from country to country. The last and the most common one is "Hand gestures" it is very complicated and is often misunderstood by many.
