situations where body language is important include： a job interview, a visit to a foreign country, a meeting, a speech, etc.
2. how is body language different from spoken language? what do they have in common?
body language is in some ways more limited than spoken language. some things would be very difficult to express using body language. it is perhaps easier to misunderstand body language. body language tends to support and add to spoken language. both body language and spoken language use symbols to represent meaning； in the case of spoken language, we use sounds and sounds combinations to represent words and meanings. both depend on our ability to interpret what we see or hear.
