Brainstorming (4)Do animals have their own language to communicate? Have you ever seen the communication between animals?Animal languageLike human beings, animals need to communicate with each other to survive. They do not speak to each other in the same way as we do; instead they use many different sounds and actions to express themselves. For example, bees make a buzzing noise, lions and bears growls, cats miaow, and dogs bark. If you see a cat standing with its back arched, head lowered or legs bent, it could be scared. If a dog growls at you, it probably is angry and you should be careful. Animal language is simpler than human language, but it shows how intelligent animals are. Communication between animalsTaskGuess the mood of the dogI am alert.I am scared.I am very happy.I am angry.DiscussionFor the advanced technology today, people tend to use to Internet more than before. Someone even believe that one day the communication through internet will replace all the traditional communicative means. Do you think so? Why or why not?Group work1.Can you think of other ways that information can be exchanged?2.Do you think English is important? Why or why not?3.Do you have any effective methods for studying the English language to share with your classmates?1.Yes. Besides the language forms above, we still have some other ways to exchange ideas or information. For example, in ancient times, Chinese people relayed(传递) fire signals(信号) at night and smoke signals in the day from one Great Wall watchtower(岗楼) to another so that war messages could be rapidly sent over great distances. Nowadays, people use the language of flowers to communicate meaning (e.g. rose=love; tulip[郁金香]=formal announcement [宣布]of love; forget-me-not=keeping me in your memory).2. Yes. Although Chinese is the most spoken language, English is the most widely used around the world. It’s useful to learn English if you want to travel, do business or study abroad. What’s more, in 2008, the 29th Olympic Games will be held in Beijing. We are learning English to welcome people from other parts of the world.No, it’s reported that students in some primary schools are required to learn English even in Grade1, which I don’t think is necessary. Primary school is a key stage for young children to acquire their mother tongue. Starting to learn another language too early may hinder(阻碍) the first language acquisition(语言习得).In my opinion, children should learn the mother tongue well first. I we can’t speak our own language well, how can we keep our culture alive?3.Yes. When I began to learn English in primary school, my English teacher introduced many English songs and simple poems, which made learning English interesting and helped me develop a good sense of the language.
