Dear Tom,

I haven’t heard from you for a long time. What is everything going with you? To be honest, I amnot used the food here and the weather always makes me uncomfortably. Therefore, I find that difficult to concentrate on my studies. The new teachers are friendly and they speak so fast that I can’t quite understand them. This often discourages from me in class. What’s bad, I always feel lonely after school. I really want to go back to my previous school, studied together with you.

I was very worried, Can you give me some advices? I'm looking forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Jack

    Male frogs use territorial calls to warn off frogs that are entering their territory. 1.. So they do not waste energy by making territorial calls when they detect those frogs near their territory. However, if an unknown frog approaches the land they claim as their own, males will aggressively let out a territorial call.2..

Warning calls are employed to warn other frogs of some nearby danger and are commonly heard when an attacker comes near.3.. If an attacker attacks a frog, the frog will make a call almost like a scream, which is intended to scare the attacker. This scream is almost always made when the attacker succeeds in grasping the frog because, should it be greatly surprised, the attacker may release the frog, which might permit the animal to make its escape.

4., which is employed when another frog is caught hold of by mistake. This regularly happens during the mating season, when male frogs eager for a mate wrongly grasp another male. In other cases, females that have already mated may make this call when different male frogs catch them.5..Whenever a male catches a female of another species, the female gives the release call to inform the male that he has made a mistake and should let go.

A.Frog calls further differ between species

B.The final major call made by frogs is the release call

C.To the human ear, frog mating calls may all sound similar

D.Frogs make short, sharp, loud sounds while they hurry away
