Warm-up
Think of animals you know. How do they communicate
Example
I think ants communicate by smell.
1.Read the text. What are the three main methods of animal communication
2.Read the text again. What methods do these animals use to communicate
Ants elephants dogs frogs
Cats whales mice insects
My dog is in the garden. He is wagging his tail, his mouth is open and he is looking at me. What is he trying to tell me Jane Roberts reports.
People have always been interested in animal communication and scientists have done a lot of research on this subject.
Most animals communicate by smell. Dogs are famous for this. When a dog walks outside, it learns about other dogs by smelling things.
Dogs have helped police for a long time, too. They can find missing people by using their fantastic sense of smell. Mice have an excellent sense of smell, too. Scientists have even trained them to find landmines. Scientists have discovered that even ants use smell. They use smell to tell other ants where the food is.
Everyone has heard birds singing. Research has shown that many other animals use sound to communicate. Frogs and inserts communicate with sounds. Usually the “gentlemen” make sounds to invite the “ladies”.
Whales and elephants also use sound to communicate. These sounds can travel very far through water or the ground. However, it is not possible for humans to hear some of the sounds. They are either too low or too high for us.
Animals have always used body language to communicate as well. When a cat puts its ears back, it is a bit mad. When it was sits with its tail around itself, it is happy. When a dog puts its tail under its body, it is scared. When it wages its tail and opens its mouth, it is happy. So I think my dog is happy right now.
1.Read the text. What are the three main methods of animal communication
Smell, sound and body language.
2.Read the text again. What methods do these animals use to communicate
Smell: ants, dogs, mice
Sound: elephants, whales, frogs, insects
Body language: Cats, dogs
狗也协助警察很长时间了。通过利用他们卓越的嗅觉,他们可以失踪的人们。老鼠也有很杰出的嗅觉。科学家们训练它以寻找 。科学家们还发现甚至是蚂蚁也利用嗅觉。他们利用嗅觉告诉其他蚂蚁食物在哪。
每个人都听过鸟唱歌。研究表示多数鸟类通过声音来沟通。青蛙和昆虫通过声音沟通,通常雄性通过声音来吸引异性。
鲸和大象也通过声音来交流。声音可以穿过水和陆地传播的非常远。然而,人类是不可能听到一些声音的。对于人类来说它们要不太高要不太低了。
动物通常还通过肢体语言来交流。当一只猫吧耳朵背到后面,它就是有点生气了。当它坐着用自己尾巴绕着身体摆动时,它很高兴。当狗打他的尾巴压在身体下面时,它很害怕。当它摆动尾巴,张开嘴时,它很高兴。所以我认为我的狗正高兴呢。
