2 various answers are possible. body language is in some ways more limited than spoken language. some things would be very difficult to express using body language (see integrating skills in the wb). it is per¬haps easier to misunderstand body language. body language tends to support and add to spoken lan¬guage. both body language and spoken language use symbols to represent meaning; in the case of spoken language, we use sounds and sound combinations to represent words and meanings. both depend on our ability to interpret what we see or hear.
3 various answers are possible. the listening exercise describes lying, but there are several other situations where a person's body language may not match what he or she is saying: a speaker who is trying to sound confident but whose hands are shaking; a person who says that he or she is interested in what we are say¬ing but who looks away or taps his or her feet, etc. it probably happens because it is more difficult to con¬trol one's body language than to control what one says.
