What I use to think and now I think

I think language is symbols that has meaning and people use language to describe things. But after the activity we did during the class, it changed my point of view.
During the tower build activity, we started with absolutely no communication I tried to understand what others are doing and help them. But later on I found their method would not work so well, then I tried to use gestures to express my opinion. Unfortunately, they didn’t understand what I was talking about. Gestures didn’t work so well in this soundless activity.
Then why my gesture didn’t work? Because my gestures mean something else to others, it is not a common understanding. And I think experiences are more important than somebody talking to you. If you want to have a better understand of this activity, try is the best way to experience.
