Brainstorming (4)
 Do animals have their own language
to communicate? Have you ever seen
the communication between animals?
Animal language
 Like 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.

Discussion
 For the advanced technology today,
people tend to use to Internet more

that one day the communication
through internet will replace all
the traditional communicative
means. Do you think so? Why or
why not?
