Class#7 Names and Adresses

1.Are feelings, emotions, and facial expessions universal across borders?
Yes, I think so. For example, children who cannot speak language yet smile when they are happy, cry when they are sad, or get angry when they don't like something. It is common all over the world.

While, words and gestures are different between other countries. For example, "nod" means "yes" in Japan or America, but I heard that some countries it means "no".
