Many animals use some kinds of "language". They use signals and the signals have meanings. For example, 1      a bee has found some food, it goes back to its home. 2       is difficult for a bee to tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them,but it can do a little dancing. This tells the bees where the food is and how far away it is.

Some animals show 3       they feel by making sounds. It is not difficult to tell if a (log is angry because it barks. Birds make several different sounds and each has its 4       . Sometimes we humans make sounds in the same way. We make sounds like "Ouch" to 5       how we feel when we 6       something on our feet.

We humans have languages. We have words. These words have meanings of things, actions,feelings or ideas. We are able to 7       each other information,and to tell other people 8       we think or how we feel. By writing down words,we can remember what has happened or 9      tiicssages to Pople far away.

Languages,like people, live and die. If a language is not10      by people, it is called a dead language. This language cannot live and grow because no one speaks it.

A living language,  of  course, is often spoken by people today. It grows and changes with time. New words are created, and some old words have new meanings.
