with a hand movement inwhich all the fingers of one hand,

cupped, point downward as they move rapidly

(28)_______.Speakers or English have a similar gesture through the

hand may not be cupped and thefingers may be held more

loosely, but for them the gesture means goodbye or go away,

quitethe (29)______ of the Colombian gesture. Again, in

Colombian, a speaker of English wouldhave to know that when

he (30)________ height he most choose between different

gesturesdepending on whether he is (31)_______ a human being

or an animal. If he keeps the palm ofthe hand (32)_________ the

floor, as he would in his own culture when making known

theheight of a child, for example, he will very likely be greeted by

laughter, in Colombia thisgesture is (33)_________ for the

description of animals. In order to describe human beingshe
