Have you ever lost your voice? Then you’ll know how important speaking is for us, because it’s the main way that humans communicate with each other. How do we speak? When we speak, we push air from our lungs inside our body past the vocal chords in our throat. Vocal chords are like the strings of a violin. The air from our lungs makes the vocal chords move. Then the air reaches our mouth. When we speak and sing, three things help us to control the sound of our voice: first, the speed of the air from our lungs; second, the shape of our mouth; third, the position of our tongue. The air comes out of our mouths as sound waves. These waves are measured in hertz (Hz). Human voices are about 1,000 Hz. How do animals use sound? Animals use a range of sounds to communicate with each other. For example, howler monkeys make some of the loudest sounds in the animal world. You can hear their screams – of around 6,000 Hz – up to 16 kilometres away! They use their noses to blow out powerful blasts of air. Some of the lowest sounds are made by frogs. They can make surprisingly low croaks – as low as 50 Hz. They do this by blowing up their throats almost as big as they are!

What is the main way in which humans communicate?

• Speaking

• Listening

• Reading

• Writing

Read the story and then answer the questions.

 Just then, a little rabbit hopped by. ‘Please, where can I get a drink?’ asked Rosie. ‘In the stream, of course!’ replied the rabbit, staring at this large, strange bird. Rosie jumped in the stream and had a long drink. It started to snow. Rosie wandered about looking for somewhere to shelter; then she saw a barn. ‘Ah, nice big doors. I’ll go in there.’ There were several hens there and when they saw Rosie – what a commotion! ‘That’s the biggest hen I’ve ever seen,’ clucked one of them, flapping about. ‘She’ll be the boss for sure!’ added another. They flew about in a panic, but Rosie settled down in the straw and the hens slowly became used to her. After a while, the farmer drove up in a tractor and looked into the barn. Rosie sprang up in a fright and sped out of the barn. The hens clucked loudly.

‘Hey, come back here,’ yelled the farmer. There might be a nice reward for capturing such a handsome ostrich, and wouldn’t his wife like some of those feathers for a hat!
