O.P. Assistance needed on English class assignment
Hey guys (ladies inclusive :P)!

In my latest English assignment, I'm required to write a report about cross-cultural communication. That is I have to find people with different cultural backgrounds and get something from them. So, where's the best place to find such people? The Messenger Plus! forums where there are people from every part of world!

Now, you must be wondering what you can do to help me complete my assignment - that's easy ;) Here, I want you to reply my post with the following questions answered. If possible, please enclose your answers with [b]...[/b] myBB Code so that they are more distinguishable :)

It may take 5 - 20 minutes to complete the questions depending on how detailed your answers are.

Btw, you'll find that I've mainly focused on non-verbal aspects.


  1. What is your gender?
  2. (Optional) Your age and what do you do by occupation?
  3. Where are you from (country and where in the country) ?
  4. What is/are your native language(s)?

  5. When you are talking, how far away do you usually stand (or sit) from people? Please give your answers for
    1. family members
    2. intimate friends
    3. normal acquaintances
    4. strangers
    respectively.
  6. When you are talking, do you (consciously) touch the people you are talking to? If yes, how frequently? Please give your answers for
    1. family members
    2. intimate friends
    3. normal acquaintances
    4. strangers
    respectively.
  7. Continued: If people touch more frequently (than the answer you gave in the last question), how do you feel?

  8. In your culture, do people usually look at others when in an elevator?
  9. In your culture, do people try hard not to touch others when in an moderately-to-much-crowded elevator?

  10. Do you look people in the eyes when you are talking to them? Note your answer may vary depending on whom you are talking to; please give your answer as detailedly as possible.
  11. In your culture, do people maintain frequent (yet not excessive) eye contact when talking to others?

  12. In your culture, what do people do non-verbally, when they first meet someone new? (for example, exchanging handshakes, bowing, ...etc)

  13. Give your ideas about the special meanings (if any) of the following hand/body gestures and facial expressions in your culture:
    1. The OK sign: forefinger and the tumb joining a circle
    2. Crossing your fingers
    3. Shurgging your shoulders
    4. Winking


Please bear in mind that every post from you counts (both for your post counter and for my report :chrongue:) and I'm really appreciative of it :) Thanks for your information and time spent :)
