Eyes can speak

Much meaning can be conveyed, clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.

__1__ In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not for too long. And if he senses that he is being stared at, he may feel uncomfortable.

The same is true in our daily life. If you are stared at for more than necessary, you will look at yourself up and down to see if there is anything wrong with you. __2__ Eyes do speak, right?

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and aggressive. __3__ If a man stares at a woman for more than 10 seconds and refuses to look away from her, his intentions are obvious. He wishes to attract her attention and let her know that he is admiring her.

However, when two people are engaged in a conversation, the speaker will only look into the listener's eyes from time to time to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what the former is speaking. __4__ If a speaker looks at you continuously when speaking as if trying to control you, you will feel awkward. A poor liar usually exposes himself by looking too long at the victim. He wrongly believes that looking straight in the eye is a sign of honest communication. __5__
