Can you imagine a world without words? The main way that we communicate with each other is by using words. We can communicate either by speaking and listening or by writing and reading. With words, we can give and receive information, ideas, orders and instructions.
People have used writing to communicate for about 7000 years. At first, they used to draw simple pictures to represent objects, such as people and animals. Then people started to put pictures together to represent something more difficult, like a sentence. The next step in the development of writing was to use symbols, or signs. These symbols represented the sounds of words and not their meanings.Finally, the alphabet from which modern English comes was invented in about 1500 B.C. The people who invented the alphabet used a set of symbols to represent the sound “o”. This symbol is still used to the same sound today. Many languages are written with letters of an alphabet, including Vietnamese.

Do you think the animals can understand each other? The answer is yes. They can communicate to each other by signs and sounds. For example, dogs communicate in many ways. They not only bark, even they howl, growl, snarl, and whine. They lift a paw, or bare their teeth. Other dogs can understand what these sounds and actions mean_.
Animals communicate with each other not only with sounds and movements but with smell. Most animals that live in herds depend on smell to keep together. And, of course, we know how dogs recognize each other by smell.
Apes are supposed to be among the most intelligent of animals, yet, they really have no better “language” than other animals. They make many sounds and expressions of the mouth to communicate their feelings of anger or hunger or joy, but they have nothing like the words of human speech.
By the way, unlike human beings who have to learn how to talk, apes and other animals know their “language” by instinct. They will make the right kind of cries and sounds and expression even if they have never seen another animal like themselves before.
Birds, however, learn their way of singing, at least in part. That is why a sparrow brought up among canaries will try to sing like one. It has been learning the wrong “language”!

Bạn có thể tưởng tượng một thế giới mà không có từ ngữ ? Cách chính mà chúng ta giao tiếp với nhau là cách sử dụng từ. Chúng ta có thể giao tiếp bằng cách nói và nghe hoặc bằng cách viết và đọc. Với từ ngữ, chúng ta có thể cung cấp và nhận thông tin, ý tưởng, đơn đặt hàng và hướng dẫn.
Mọi người đã sử dụng văn bản để liên lạc trong khoảng 7000 năm. Ban đầu, họ đã từng vẽ những hình ảnh đơn giản để đại diện cho các vật thể, chẳng hạn như người và động vật. Sau đó, mọi người bắt đầu đặt hình ảnh lại với nhau để đại diện cho một cái gì đó khó khăn hơn, giống như một câu. Bước tiếp theo trong việc phát triển văn bản là sử dụng các biểu tượng, hoặc dấu hiệu. Những biểu tượng này thể hiện âm thanh của từ chứ không phải ý nghĩa của chúng.
Cuối cùng, bảng chữ cái từ đó tiếng Anh hiện đại được phát minh ra vào khoảng năm 1500 TCN Những người đã phát minh ra bảng chữ cái đã sử dụng một bộ ký hiệu để biểu diễn âm thanh "o". Biểu tượng này vẫn được sử dụng cho cùng một âm thanh ngày nay. Nhiều ngôn ngữ được viết bằng chữ cái của một bảng chữ cái, bao gồm tiếng Việt.
