Finally, Mr. Klein showed that   7   one sign could be used for a whole word. To make the sign for the word fine, a person spreads out the fingers on one hand,   8   the thumb(拇指) to the chest(前胸) , and moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just done with the hands. Expressions on the face are also   9   . The students learned to sign a question mark by using expressions on the face.
