  • Show surprise
    We use this body expression when something unexpected happens. A person opens their eyes wide and their mouth too. For example, a student may show surprise when they see a high grade on an exam. This reaction means they are happy and did not expect the result.

  • Kiss on someone’s cheek
    This is a common way to greet someone in Ecuador. We use this body expression to show love, care, or respect. For example, a person kisses their mother or a close friend on the cheek to say hello or goodbye. It is a warm and friendly gesture often seen in cities like Riobamba

  • Cross arms 
    We use this body expression when we feel angry, uncomfortable, or when we don’t agree. The person folds their arms in front of their chest. For example, in a group discussion, someone may cross their arms if they don’t like the idea. It shows they are not open or are feeling defensive.

  • Thumbs up
    This gesture is used to show something is good or okay. The person makes a fist and lifts the thumb. For example, after a friend finishes a good presentation, we can give a thumbs up to say “Good job!” It is a positive and encouraging sign.

  • Make eye contact
    We use this body expression to show confidence, respect, or interest. The person looks into another person’s eyes when speaking. For example, a student at UNACH may make eye contact with a classmate or teacher to show they are listening and paying attention.
