Messaging through time … Since the dawn of time, people 1 have been using different ways of communicating at ﺔﺗ a distance. In ancient times, they used smoke signals and after writing developed, they 2 invented more ingenious methods of delivering messages; for example, sending a message in a bottle. At the turn of the 20th century, bottles were found which had been sent by people who 3 were travelling on board the Titanic. Happier stories have also come to light. In 1956, Ake Viking, a Swede, tossed a letter into the sea, hoping it would reach his future wife. Two years later, he received a letter from a Sicilian girl, Paolina, who 4 had found his bottle and soon after they were married! ﺟر The invention of the telegraph in 1837 sped up communication dramatically. A criminal, John Tawell, was caught after he had escaped on the train to London. A telegram was sent to the London police, and they 5 were waiting for him when he arrived there. In Jordan, there are over six million mobile phones in use by the population. But you can still send telegrams through the Jordan Post Company! Since the invention of the mobile phone and the Internet, the world 6 has become a different place. People 7 are still sending messages and it usually 8 takes only seconds to deliver them. But 9 are we now forgetting how to communicate face-to-face? Without a doubt there are some ﯾ challenges, but there are also examples of when the Internet 10 has changed someone’s life for the better. Look at Tara Taylor’s case, a mother who 11 lives in the USA: when she uploaded a ﺑﯾﺔ photo of her daughter on social media, a friend spotted a problem with one of the child’s eyes. It turned out that the girl had a rare disease, but her sight was saved! 2 Make more collocations with the nouns message, contact, touch, using the verbs from the box.

What do you think would happen if we could talk to animals? 2 CRITICAL THINKING Read the article and study Active Reading. What opinions about communication does the author express? How far do you agree with him? M A K I N G contact 1.2 ﻧ By Amer Asmar ﺳﺧ We know that some animals understand basic instructions, allowing travellers to control their horses or camels, for example. But although some of the more intelligent animals can figure out what we want them to do, we have long assumed that communication with – and between – animals must be limited. However, thanks to the work done by the naturalist Jane Goodall since the 1960s, we should take the possibility seriously that some animals can both take in what we are saying and get across complex ideas. ﺔﺗ As a child, Jane loved reading books about a fictional character called Dr Dolittle, who could talk to animals. Perhaps this is what inspired her to go to Africa when she was in her 20s. Here she came across a scientist who asked Jane if she might want a job observing chimpanzees in the wild. She immediately said yes. She went with her mother to the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Tanzania to start her new job, and it was not long before she made out a group of chimpanzees in the trees around an area now called the Gombe Stream National Park. ﺟر How could a young English woman with no scientific training possibly make contact with a group of wild chimpanzees? At first, the animals ran away as soon as they saw her. But maybe because she knew very little about these wild animals, it is highly likely that her calmness gained their trust. It was only later that Jane would learn how dangerous they could be. She saw that different groups of chimpanzees had battles in which they tried to wipe out the rival group. But before this, her studies showed her that the chimpanzees could clearly communicate, allowing them to groom and help each other, share food as well as have arguments. Jane pointed out that the animals couldn’t communicate using language like people, but they could communicate by touch and sound. Amazingly, she also realised they could use sign language. ﯾ At this time, people believed that only humans could use tools, but Jane watched chimpanzees ﺑﯾﺔ using sticks to take ants from a tree, and then used the sticks to feed the ants to their young. Through her work, Jane spelled out to the scientific community for the first time that animals, too, could use tools. Jane went on to write a number of books about her work. As well GLOSSARY as explaining chimpanzees’ highly developed social behaviour, groom – to brush and clean fur she taught us that they are omnivores (people used to think they omnivore – a living being that were vegetarian). In 2002, she became a UN Messenger for eats plants and animals Peace. rival – a person or group that In my opinion, Jane Goodall brought about a complete change competes with others in the way people understood how animals can communicate. Since her work in Tanzania, naturalists have continued to study different forms of communication between animals such as whales and elephants, who can pick up sounds made by other whales and elephants over large distances. I feel that we may well learn even more about animal communication in the future. 6 01 ACTIVE READING | Identifying the author’s 4 Match the highlighted phrasal verbs from the article with their definitions below. opinion 1 to receive sounds, phone signals, etc. In a text, the author presents his/her point of 2 to cause something to happen view on a topic and different arguments to support that view. 3 to tell someone something you think they don’t know Writers often use opinion verbs and phrases to signal their position, e.g. I feel …, I think …, 4 to see something with difficulty In my opinion …, etc. 5 to destroy something completely Sometimes they express their views more 6 to successfully communicate a message/ an idea ﻧ subtly by using modal verbs, e.g. We should …, It must be …, etc. 7 to explain something very clearly ﺳﺧ They may also use phrases of probability, 8 to meet or find something or someone e.g. Maybe …, Possibly …, etc. 9 to solve or understand something Remember that you can form your own 10 to understand and remember something opinion, rather than uncritically accepting you are told what the author has to say. 5 Complete the sentences with the phrasal verbs from the article, in the correct form. 3 Read the article again and choose the correct answers. 1 I was embarrassed when he that I ﺔﺗ 1 According to the author, how did Jane get the chimpanzees to trust her? had made some basic spelling mistakes. 2 It was cloudy, but he could still distant star. the a She talked to them. 3 I an interesting article about space b She was relaxed with them. exploration the other day. c They did not know she was there. 4 Technology has many changes in the 2 What were the two most important way we live. ﺟر discoveries that Jane made? 5 My science teacher is very good at a The chimpanzees could talk and make difficult ideas so that we always tools. understand them. b The chimpanzees had fights and 6 It took me ages to exactly how to disciplined their children. use the telescope. c The chimpanzees could use tools and 7 You don’t understand?

These animals are cute or beautiful, or both, and of course we all want to save them. This popularity enables organisations 5 such as the WWF to raise money to support a range of critically endangered species.

Invertebrates ﺔﺗ (animals without a backbone) make up over 90% of all the 10 creatures on Earth, but get only a tiny percentage of the money available to protect our wildlife. B And what about those creatures that many people would find positively ugly? With its tiny eyes, big mouth and slimy pink body, the blobfish is far from attractive. This marine 15 creature lives deep in the ocean, where the pressure is very ﺟر high. As a result, it has tiny fins and no skeleton, which keeps it from being crushed by the water pressure. Unfortunately, when fishing boats sweep the ocean floor, looking for other fish and crustaceans, these fish can get swept into the nets GLOSSARY 20 accidentally. poacher – someone who C The threat faced by the pangolin, however, is far from accidental. illegally catches animals They are more often targeted by poachers than any other animal ﯾ in the world. Unique among mammals, it is covered in scales, like a reptile. ﺑﯾﺔ They may not look very cuddly or cute, but these scales are highly prised in 25 traditional Chinese medicine, which has caused the population of pangolins in China to fall by around 90% since the 1960s. Their scales protect them from their natural predators, but it’s simple for a poacher to just pick them up. D Other creatures become endangered precisely because people find them ugly. Take the aye aye for example. Found only on the island of Madagascar, the aye 30 aye is the world’s largest nocturnal primate. During the day they sleep in nests in the trees, coming out to hunt at night. They are solitary creatures, furry, and unfortunately, the way they look means that they are traditionally considered an omen of bad luck. As a result, they are often killed. 20 02 3 Read the article again.
