大量动物使用某种语言。

它们使用具有意义的信号。

例如，当一只蜜蜂找到食物时，它就回家去。

蜜蜂不成能跟其他的蜜蜂说话，来报告它们食物在那里，但是它能做一点飘动的动作。

这就报告那些蜜蜂食物在那里以及食物有多远。

有些动物藉由发出声音，来表示它们的感受如何。

要知道狗是否生气并不难，由于它会叫。

鸟发出几种不同的声音，而且每一种都有它本身的意义。

有时我们人类也用同样的方式发出声音。

我们发出像“喔！＂或“哎唷！＂的声音来表示我们的感受或表示我们掉了东西砸到脚趾头。

但是我们拥有动物所没有的东西：(那就是有)好多的文字具有表达事物、行为、感情或观念的意义。

我们能够彼此供给消息，能够报告别人我们的想法，或我们的感受。用文字记录，我们可以记居处发生的事情，或者传送信息给远方的人。这是动物所不成能做到的。

有些鸟，像鹦鹉，能够教会说话，但它们不知道那些话的意思。

它们不会使用那些话。

没有人知道人类如何学会造字。

可能人类藉由模仿动物而开头的。

可能他模仿他周边所听到的一切的声音：水的飞溅声、蜜蜂的嗡嗡声、石头的落地声。

用某种方式人类学会了造字。

随著几世纪的过去，人类造了越来越多的字。

这就是我们所谓的语言。

我们所熟悉的字称为我们的字汇。

我们理应设法使我们的字汇扩大。

我们理应尽可能多阅读书籍。

有好多用英文写的书可以供我们阅读。

当然，书里面有生字。

当我们察觉生字的时候，我们可以查字典。

字典是我们最有用的书。

英语简朴的小短文篇三：一篇可能包含了英语全体根本语法的简朴小短文

]一篇可能包含了英语全体根本语法的简朴小短文(2022-09-2021:24:35)分类：英语学习经常有学生跟我反应语法好难，不知如何用。我的回复是，语法其实很简朴，只是我们经常在使用而不知道而已，我写了以下一篇小短文，经修改后，根本笼罩了英语的全体根本语法，包括全体词性的类型，句子的类型，句子的布局，从句的类型、时态的类型及其他的语法。从内容来看，对比简朴，也对比有鼓舞性，很适合初学者或中学生朗读或背诵。
