Your classmate Emilia is continuing a conversation long after class is over. You need to get to your next class, but she is not giving you an opportunity to leave politely. Give some examples of nonverbal behaviors you might use to signal to her that you want to end the conversation.

What will be an ideal response?

Answers will vary but could easily include most of the types of nonverbal communication. Body orientation, particularly turning away from her, would powerfully indicate your desire to leave. Lack of eye contact could also indicate that you are no longer listening to her, which may suggest to her that you have something else on your mind. Slowly increasing the distance between you and Emilia could also indicate to her that you are interested in breaking the conversation.
