Squeaks, I'm so excited for your big trip!

You're gonna see so many new places!

Oh, yeah, I wish I could go with you, too, but I promised our neighbor that I would take care of her garden while she visits her family,

and I don't want to go back on a promise.

I'll miss you, too, buddy.

We'll go on another trip together someday.

But I thought of a way that I could still kind of join you this time.

Ta-da!

Tiny Jessie can come with you!

Well, Tiny Jessie can't experience everything exactly like I can.

Humans experience the world through our senses, and Tiny Jessie doesn't have senses.

But maybe she can help remind you of the senses that I use to explore.

For example, you'll be going to see some amazing places.

Exactly, using your eyes.

Eyes are really cool body parts that help animals survive.

And animals' eyes take in information about the world around them, like if there's food or water nearby or something dangerous to avoid.

Animals can do these things using other senses, too.

But eyes help us by letting our brains understand light.

When I see something, like your luggage bag, what's really happening is light is reflecting off of its surface and into my eyes.

The black circle in the middle of my eye is actually a hole called a pupil.

That's where light comes in.

Then, the light goes through the lens, which focuses all the light into a small point, and then it hits the back of my eye, called the retina.

The retina helps turn the light into special signals that can get carried to my brain through my optic nerves.

And once the signals get there, my brain can make sense of it all, and I see your luggage.

Yeah, senses like sight are complicated.

My eyes have lots of little structures or parts inside,

but they're all tools that help my brain to sense light and understand the world.

Squeaks is asking about color, and yes, my eyes help me to understand and sense color too.

Objects that are different colors reflect slightly different kinds of light.

And eyes have to make sense of these differences.

The retinas at the back of my eyes have two different structures for understanding the light that reaches them.

Together, they're called photoreceptors.

Rods are one kind of photoreceptor.

They send my brain signals when there's just a little light to see.

This is important for seeing things when it's dark out.

But rods don't tell me anything about color.

It's the other kind of photoreceptor, called cones, that help me see colors.

Most people have three types of cones, and each is better at picking up a different kind of light.

Like one is really good at picking up blue light, and another is best at picking up red light.

That way, my brain can take the different messages these cones send together and turn them into any color we can see,

from orange to light yellow to dark green.

Or pink like your nose.

It's like my brain is mixing light like you or I might mix paints, and coming up with one final color that we're actually seeing.

Oh, good question, Squeaks!

Squeaks wants to know if everyone's eyes work this way.

The answer is actually no. What do I mean?

Well, even among humans, there's a lot of difference in how our eyes work.

Lots of people's eyes see things as blurry unless objects are really close, or if objects are really far away.

This is because their eyeballs are shaped a bit differently.

And it causes the light that goes through the lens to focus either in front of or behind the the retina,

instead of right in the retina where all of those important rods and cones are.

This is why some people wear glasses.

Glasses help to move the light just a little bit, so the light can focus right at the retina in the back of the eyes.

Meanwhile, for some people, their cones don't respond as well to the colors they're supposed to, or they might have been born without one or more types of cone.

People with eyes like this see colors differently.

They might see shades of red and shades of green as pretty much the same.

Even though other people like me can see red and green as being very different.

We call conditions like this color blindness.

When people's eyes can't see the full rainbow of light that other people can.

And there are actually lots of animals besides humans that are color blind.

Or at least, can't see the same number of colors that we do.

Fish, dogs, cats — they all see fewer colors than humans.

Meanwhile, some animals can see more colors and kinds of light that we can't see at all.

Can you guess what kind of animal that has special vision?

Birds!

I have an idea.

Let's give Bill and Webb a call.

Hi Bill!

Hi Webb!

Hi, Jessie and Squeaks!

Bill and I were just arguing about which color is better.

Blue, like my hat.

Or red, like my scarf.

Maybe you could help settle the debate.

Squeaks and I were just talking about colors.

I think blue is a great color for Webb and red is a great color for Bill.

Ha!

Interesting opinion.

I like it.

Me too.

So what's up?

Squeaks and I are learning about eyes and how they work

and I once heard that birds can see a special type of light.

Oh, I love my eyes.

Birds like us can see colors like humans do, but we can also see a type of light called ultraviolet light, or UV light.

UV light is basically invisible to humans, but birds have an extra kind of cone in our eyes that lets us see it.

It helps us to find food that reflects ultraviolet light.

Oh, and birds can also see certain patterns on each other's feathers that reflect ultraviolet light.

Our eyes see these ultraviolet patches on each other, and whether the patches are lighter or darker.

So we can tell each other apart by the ultraviolet light from our feathers.

To a human, two birds might look like identical twins, but to us, they'd look different.

Hmm, I don't see any ultraviolet spots on you, Squeaks.

But maybe we can get some UV paint from the craft store

and give you some ultraviolet stripes next time we hang out.

That sounds so fun.

Let's get together after Squeaks comes back from his trip.

Bye!

So, Tiny Jesse might not have eyes that work like mine or yours, or Bill and Webb's, but I have another present for you

100

that can help me experience all of the cool things you'll see.

101

It's a camera!

102

Now you and Tiny Jesse can take pictures of everything you see on your trip.

103

And when you get home, I can use my eyes to see all of the special places that you visited.

104

Okay, just one more photo.

105

Say cheese.

106

Nice.

107

Oh, hi there.

108

Squeaks is going on a trip around the world.

109

And because I can't go with him, he's bringing Tiny Jesse to keep him company.

110

But since Tiny Jesse doesn't have real eyes like I do, he's going to take photos with this camera so I can see all of the cool stuff that he experienced.

111

Oh, I hadn't thought of that.

112

Squeaks is wondering how I might be able to hear all of the cool places he's going to visit.

113

You are going to hear lots of amazing sounds on your trip,

114

like rushing waterfalls or chirping birds or people playing musical instruments.

115

And just like tiny Jessie can't see like I can, she also can't hear.

116

Those tiny ears of hers sure are cute, but they aren't real.

117

So let's think about how ears work, and then use that to find a way

118

that you can help me hear the sounds of your adventure after you get back.

119

Sounds can help us understand if there's a friend talking to us, or popcorn popping, or a thunderstorm rumbling.

120

Our ears are body parts that can help our brains hear and understand sounds.

121

And once we understand a sound, we can make a decision like, go get some of that yummy popcorn, or hurry inside before it starts to rain.

122

That's right!

123

It's super helpful!

124

Now, each sound is a special kind of wave that can move through the air, or water, or even solids like wood.

125

And it does that by wiggling tiny particles in the air, or this table, just a little bit.

126

Can you see the wave moving through it?

127

When a sound wave reaches my ear, it first runs into the oracle.

128

That's the big flappy part of the ear that helps collect sound waves and directs them into the auditory canal.

129

But you have other ear parts that are inside your head, so we're not done yet.

130

All that wiggling air travels down the auditory canal

131

and starts to wiggle a special part of your ear that looks a bit like the head of a drum.

132

Exactly, the eardrum!

133

Although scientists have another name for it too, the tympanic membrane.

134

No, the eardrum doesn't wiggle my brain.

135

In fact, everything from the auricle to the eardrum is considered to be part of the outer ear.

136

But behind the eardrum, there's also the middle ear and the inner ear.

137

Yeah, there really is a lot more to the ear than you might think.

138

The middle ear is where the sound waves get amplified, or made stronger.

139

And in this particular spot, you've got three teeny tiny bones that move that stronger signal to the inner ear.

140

The inner ear is the home to the structure called the cochlea.

141

It's shaped kind of like a snail shell.

142

And inside of it, there's some liquid and a bunch of teeny tiny hairs.

143

Uh, no, not like the hairs on my head.

144

They're really a kind of nerve, which is a cell that can send messages to other parts of your body.

145

So, when the bones from the middle ear bring the sound wave to the cochlea, the hairs start to wiggle too,

146

which finally sends a signal to your brain.

147

And then your brain can take all that information and go, hey, I heard something.

148

Ooh, good question!

149

Squeaks wants to know if I can hear all kinds of vibrations.

150

I can't hear every kind of sound wave.

151

If a sound wave is too quiet, it won't get all the parts in my ear wiggling.

152

But also, it has to be the right pitch.

153

You can think about pitch as the different notes you can play on a keyboard, or sing using your voice.

154

Here's an example of a higher pitch, and here's an example of a lower pitch.

155

And depending on my pitch, I can wiggle the air a little bit differently.

156

But just like musical instruments can only make a certain range of pitches, human ears can only hear sound waves within a certain range of pitches.

157

If the pitch is too low, or too high, we can't hear it no matter how loud it is.

158

But that's not all, because just like every human can't see the exact same colors, we don't all hear the same sounds.

159

For example, many people lose the ability to hear certain pitches as they get older, or if different parts of their ears get damaged.

160

Also, some people are born unable to hear some or all of the sounds that others can.

161

People who are deaf or hard of hearing might use technology to help them hear.

162

Like a hearing aid to make sounds louder, or a device called a cochlear implant that sends vibrations straight to the nerves

163

and skips over the rest of the ear that isn't working so well.

164

Yeah, there are lots of people who use tools like these, of all ages, too.

165

Human's ears are different.

166

But that's not just true for humans, it's also true for other animal species.

167

Lots of animals can hear sounds that humans normally can't, or can't hear sounds that humans normally can.

168

Say, let's call someone who I know has some pretty impressive ears.

169

Hi Sam!

170

Oh, hi Bill!

171

Hi Jesse!

172

Hi Squeaks!

173

I'm helping Bill with a project.

174

I'm making Webb a red hat for his birthday!

175

He's gonna love it whether he wants to or not!

176

What are you two up to?

177

Well, Squeaks and I were talking about how ears work, and I know that you have some- Some pretty amazing ears!

178

Man, I love my ears.

179

Bats like me tend to have really big oracles to funnel sound waves into our ears.

180

But most of us also have really big cochlea for how small our bodies are.

181

And we have extra nerves to help us hear really quiet sounds and really high pitches.

182

That's right, Squeaks!

183

Way higher than Jessie can hear.

184

It's super helpful because a lot of bats use echolocation to get around.

185

We make a very high-pitched noise with our mouth, and after the sound wave travels for a bit, it might hit something, like a tree or a bug, and bounce back to us.

186

When our ears pick up this bounced-back sound wave, we know there's a tree that we don't want to accidentally fly into, or there's a tasty bug to eat.

187

That's super useful, Sam!

188

And Bill, I was curious about something.

189

I know that you don't have oracles like Sam and I do, but do you mind if I ask how birds hear?

190

No problem.

191

Even though we don't have those flappy bits sticking out of our heads, birds still have an auditory canal and eardrum, a middle ear that makes sound waves stronger,

192

and an inner ear with nerves that send information to the brain about those sound waves.

193

Our ear parts look a little different, but they work a lot like yours.

194

Whoa, that's so cool.

195

Thanks!

196

We've got to finish up here, but we'll come visit soon.

197

Bye!

198

Bye!

199

Wow!

200

Different animals have some incredible ways of understanding sound with their ears, and I think I have an idea!

201

This camera can take pictures, but it can also record video, and more importantly, audio!

202

You can use it to help you record all of the awesome sound waves you come across on your trip!

203

And Tiny Jesse might not have real ears, but this will help you to save sounds for me to experience later.

204

Have fun with Squeaks, Tiny Jesse!

205

Oh, hi!

206

Welcome back to the fort!

207

Squeaks is finally going on his trip around the world tomorrow.

208

And while I've been helping him pack, we've been talking about our senses and the body parts we use to gather information from the world around us.

209

While I can't go with him, we've come up with ways that I can experience what he senses during his trip.

210

He's going to use this camera to take pictures to show me what he saw with his eyes, and record audio of the sounds that he used his ears to hear.

211

How else could you share your experiences?

212

Well, we need to figure out things to do that can take the place of your senses.

213

Oh, let's see who's calling.

214

Maybe they can help us.

215

It's Bill and Webb!

216

Hi, Jessie!

217

We need you to settle another argument for us.

218

Yes, after Bill told you about how birds hear, we decided to learn more about all the senses we have.

219

I say there are five senses.

220

Sight, hearing, touch, taste, and spell.

221

And I say there are more than five.

222

Like, what about sense of direction?

223

You know, the one you never seem to have when it's time to go someplace warmer in the winter.

224

That's not a real sense!

225

Hang on a second, guys.

226

Sometimes you'll hear people say, we have the five senses Bill just mentioned.

227

Ha!

228

But there really are more senses than that.

229

What?!

230

First, sensory organs like our eyes have special parts called receptors.

231

A receptor captures a specific kind of information from the outside world, then changes it into a signal that goes to the brain.

232

And once the signal gets to the brain, the brain directs the body what to do to respond.

233

Right!

234

When we talked about the eye, we talked about photoreceptors and how we see.

235

Photoreceptors take in light, then change the light into a signal.

236

The brain makes sense of that signal, so we know what we're looking at.

237

And when we talked about the ear, we covered the receptors called hair cells in the inner ear

238

that change sound waves into signals that our brains use for our sense of hearing.

239

We also have receptors in our tongue, nose, and skin for our senses of taste, smell, and touch.

240

So that's five senses!

241

Well, yes, Bill.

242

But I'm not done yet.

243

Some of the receptors in our skin, like the ones that help us feel if something is soft or bumpy or hard, sense pressure.

244

And different receptors in the skin help us to sense temperature.

245

When we wash our hands before we eat, these receptors sense how warm the water is.

246

But if the water gets too hot, a completely different kind of receptor senses that we might hurt our skin.

247

These are pain receptors, and they can cause the body to take action fast.

248

So we pull our hands out from under the hot water quickly and the skin doesn't get damaged.

249

I don't like what those receptors make me feel. At all.

250

Yeah, pain hurts.

251

It does hurt.

252

But pain receptors are super important because they let us know when something's not right with our bodies.

253

So we can figure out what's going on and hopefully fix it if we need to.

254

Yeah, what about these other senses?

255

Well, for example, we have receptors that give us a sense of balance.

256

If you could see deep inside your ears, you'd see a part that's made of three loops full of liquid.

257

And inside these loops, there are little receptors

258

that can send signals up to the brain that tell it which way your head is facing.

259

This is how we know which way is up, down, left, and right.

260

Without this sense, we couldn't stand or sit upright.

261

I never thought about that before, but that's an important sense.

262

It would be hard to fly without it.

263

Yes, there are other senses too.

264

There's also a really cool one called proprioception.

265

Wow, that's a big word.

266

I think it's a fun length.

267

Proprioception.

268

Way more fun to say than sight or hearing, but But what's it mean?

269

Proprioception is the sense of where our body is in space.

270

I don't get it.

271

Okay, how about this?

272

Close your eyes and think about where the tips of your wings are.

273

Or your fingers, if you have them.

274

Now, touch your bill or nose.

275

Super easy, right?

276

Even though you couldn't see anything, while you were moving your body, you knew where everything was.

277

It's proprioception.

278

Where are the receptors for proprioception?

279

Well, they're found in places like your muscles and joints.

280

This sense of body awareness also helps us figure out how much force we need to use when doing different activities.

281

Like picking up an empty water bottle is going to require a little less oomph than a full one.

282

Speaking of water, what about feeling thirsty?

283

That's gotta be a sense!

284

Nah, that's just part of the sense of taste.

285

No it's not!

286

Quack!

287

Quack!

288

Quack!

289

Remember, to be a sense, there have to be receptors.

290

Our tongues have receptors in them that sense different flavors, like salty or sweet.

291

But there's no thirst receptor.

292

Instead, we feel thirsty when our brain detects the amount of water throughout our body is getting too low.

293

Okay, but what about my sense of the passage of time?

294

Well, that's not a sense at all!

295

Bill, web.

296

Okay, bye guys.

297

You want Tiny Jessie to experience balance and proprioception for me?

298

What else are you going to do on your trip, Squeaks?

299

Dancing?

300

That sounds amazing!

301

Dancing requires both balance and muscle movement.

302

Although, remember, Tiny Jesse doesn't have receptors.

303

That's why you're bringing the camera.

304

So, you know what you can do?

305

You can learn a dance routine from one of the countries you're going to, and then come back and teach me.

306

Then I'll get to experience the movement and balance that you did.

307

All right, it's a plan.

308

And here's the thing.

309

You'll have to use many of your other senses to get that routine to me.

310

You'll have to watch the dancers and listen to the sounds they're dancing to and more.

311

I can't wait until you're back, Squeaks!

312

Although Tiny Jessie will keep you company throughout your journey.

313

Что такое техника Shadowing?

Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
