Hi, and welcome to another
issue of
Learn Hot English
–
the fun magazine for
learning English.
In this month’s issue, we’re
looking at how body language
can help you communicate in
English. The information will
help you understand your own
body language, as well as helping
you identify the meaning behind
other people’s gestures, movements and actions.
Very useful!
Talking about communicating, we’re also looking
at polyglots – people who speak more than one
language. They know how to learn languages quickly
and effectively, so we’re looking at a few of their
top tips. Why not learn from the master language
learners?
Of course, that’s not all – we’re also looking at rude
names, positive phrases, snacks, holiday complaints,
Tiger Parents, annoying things and famous pets, to
name just a few. And all this will help you improve
your listening skills, learn lots of new words and
increase your general level of English.
Don’t forget to check out the blog on our website:
blog.learnhotenglish.com for free lessons and
articles on how to learn English. Or “like” us on
Facebook or Twitter (@LearnHotEnglish) so you can
keep up with the latest news.
Happy learning!

HOW TO FIGHT
A WILD ANIMAL!
Answers on page
44
here may come a time
in your life when you
find yourself
face to
face
with a
wild
animal.
Here’s some useful advice
on what to do.
T
1
You going to read an article
about three animals: a bear, a
shark and a crocodile. How do
you think you could win a fight
against these three creatures?
Make notes.
2
Pre-reading
Read or listen to the article
once to compare your ideas
from the Pre-reading activity.
3
Reading I
Read the article again. Then,
answer the questions.
1.
What should you throw
at a bear if it starts
approaching you?
2.
What should you do if a
bear gets close to you?
3.
What type of shark did
Mick Fanning fight off?
4.
When did the attack
happen?
5.
How big was the
crocodile that Eddie
Sigai fought off?
6.
What’s his nickname
now?
7.
Where did the crocodile
cut him?
Reading II
A bear
A bear can run at about
50 kph and is an excellent
swimmer and climber. So,
if a bear starts
approaching
you, your
best bet
is to act
aggressively to show that
you aren’t afraid (even if
you are!). You can do this
by shouting at it, throwing
rocks at it or
swinging
branches
in its direction.
However, if that doesn’t
work and the bear continues
to get closer, fall on the
ground with your face down
and
play dead.
Lie as flat
as you can with your arms
protecting your neck and
try not to move. If you think
the bear has gone, wait
several minutes more before
checking. If the bear is still
close, it may return if it sees
you moving.
A shark
Playing dead definitely
doesn't work with sharks.
They’re extremely fast
swimmers; and once they
start biting, they’ll
get a
taste for
blood and won’t
stop. So, what can you do?
In early 2016, surfer Mick
Fanning fought off a great
white shark by
punching
it.
His line of defence? Attack!
Go for the
gills
or eyes, the
experts say. Above all, try
to make sure you’re facing
the shark when it swims at
you. But be careful as some
sharks like to come in
from
an angle.
Once the shark has
gone, try to swim to safety,
but keep looking around as
the shark might return.
A crocodile
Crocodiles can run at around
13 kph and they’re extremely
good swimmers. So, once
again, your best means of
defence is attack. In 2011,
Eddie Sigai, a 37-year-old
from Australia, fought off
a three-metre
saltwater
crocodile by punching it
and
gouging
its eyes. Eddie,
nicknamed
Crocky Balboa,
had been swimming in a
river with his two daughters,
“I thought to myself, 'this
is it – I'm dead', but it's
surprising what you can
do when all you can think
about is the safety of your
children. It
grabbed
my hand
and pulled me underwater
and all I can remember is
shaking it, punching it and
going for its eyes.” Eddie
escaped with minor cuts to
his back and hands.
Good luck!
