Greetings in different languages Glückliches Neues Jahr! あけましておめでとうございます! Bonne Année! Happy New Year! 新年快乐! 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. 1 in a broad sense 从广义上讲 2 the various forms of language不同形式的语言 3 make a special Internet language 成为一门特殊的网络语言 4 stand for a big smile 代表眉开眼笑 5 sign language 手势语 6 all over the world 全世界 7 fly in circles 以绕圈的方式飞行 8 inform sb about/of sth 通知某人某事 9 including animals and insects 包括动物和昆虫 10 exchange information 交换信息 11 good methods for studying English 学习英语的好方法 12 share sth with sb 和某人分享某物 Why does English have so many difficult rules? languages before mid-5th then end 9th 2G tribes (A, S) Celtic Vikings Denmark Norway 10th languages official language Old English Why puzzled?
