高考英语词汇复习——透过语境巧记高考英语3500词（第十九天）第十九篇 Communication And Showing Feelings People communicate and express feelings using spoken and unspoken languages. Not all cultures greet each other the same way. Last week, representing our companys association, Lily and I went to the Capital International Airport to meet Tom, an employee with high rank from Colombia. We would take him first to his dormitory and then to the canteen after his flight arrived. After a while, we saw a tall man in the crowd, who is Tom, looking around curiously.
