Read the following passage and circle the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct word for each
of the blanks from 1 to 5.
A gesture is @ that sends a message from one person to another @using words. We use gesture to
communicate with others. There are some gestures that have completely different meaning
depending on when and where they are used.
When an American wants to show that something is OK or good, he @ his hand and makes a
circle with his thumb and forefinger. The circle sign has only one meaning for him. He might be
surprised to learn that in other countries it can mean something very different.
In Japan, for instance, it is the gesture for money. In France it @ “zero” or “worthless”. Such
differences can lead to all kinds of misunderstanding when foreigners meet. But why is it that the
same gesture has so many different meanings ?
When some people want to show something is exact or precise, they make a sign to show
that they are @ something between the tips of their thumb and forefinger. In this way they make a
circle with their fingers. Many people from all over the world do this when they want to make a
specific point as they are speaking. People later started using this signal to mean “ exactly right” or
“perfect”. This was how the famous OK sign was born.
