Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer
…There are some social situations where smaller non-verbal signals are more appropriate. In a
restaurant, for instance, if we want to attract our waiter’s attention, we have several choices. We can
wait until he passes near us, catch his eye, and nod slightly to let him know we would like him to come
to our table. Or we can raise our hand slightly to show that we need assistance. We do not whistle or
clap our hands to get the attention of the person. That is considered impolite and even rude.
In most social situations where some informality is allowed, a brief raise of the hand and small wave is
fine. For example, if you are walking across the schoolyard and see your teacher approaching you, a
small friendly wave to attract his or her attention is appropriate.
Once you’ve got your friend’s attention, you shouldn’t point at the person or thing you want her to
look at. A slight nod will do. Pointing at someone is usually considered rude. Of course, there are times
when pointing is perfectly acceptable, such as when a teacher wants to get someone’s attention in class.
The teacher often points to the students and says, “David, would you read the next sentence, please ?”.
Pointing here is not impolite; it’s simply a way to get someone’s attention.
