Can dolphins talk? Maybe they can't talk with words, but they talk with sounds. They show their feelings with sounds. Dolphins travel in a group. We call a group of fish “a school(一群).” They don't study, but they travel together. Dolphins are mammals(哺乳动物),not fish, but they swim together like fish in a school.
Dolphins talk to the other dolphins in the school. They give information. They tell when they are happy or sad or afraid. They say” welcome” when a dolphin comes back to the school. They talk when they play. They make a few sounds above water. They make many more sounds under water. People cannot hear these sounds because they are very, very high. Scientists make tapes of the sounds and study them.
Sometimes people catch a dolphin for a large aquarium(水族馆). People can watch the dolphins in a show. Dolphins don't like to be away from their school in an aquarium. They are sad and lonely. There are many stories about dolphins. They help people. Sometimes they save somebody's life. Dolphins' meat is good, but people don't like to kill them. They say that dolphins bring good luck. Many people believe this.
Learning how to sound like a native speaker can be a hard task. But it's something you'll have to do on your language learning journey. If you want to improve your pronunciation,the tips below will be of great value to you.
Speak slowly and clearly. Pay close attention to getting your words out clearly and speaking slowly as you go. When your pronunciation gets better,you can speed up your speaking speed. | Learn the schwa skillfully The schwa is a vowel which sounds like "uh". English speakers pronounce many other vowel sounds as the schwa. Learning when to exchange them can make your English sound more natural. |
Use" He" and" She" correctly Make sure that you call men "he" and women "she". If you mix them up,it can be confusing(混淆的)for your listeners and it is a giveaway that you are not a native speaker. | Fall tone and rise tone fluently In English,the meaning of what you say can change based on the way you say it. Make sure to work on your falling and rising tones so that your meaning is communicated clearly. |
