6
Number 1.
7
Their History The rat terrier dogs have many parent breeds and were developed by a cross between a smooth fox terrier, an old English white terrier, a Manchester terrier, a bull terrier,
8
a whippet, an Italian greyhound and a beagle.
9
They were first bred to the US in the 1890s and were originally bred for rat baiting.
10
The then US president Theodore Roosevelt is said to have given
11
the breed its name after his terrier had successfully eradicated the rat infestation at the White House in the early 1910s.
12
Later, by the 1920s, they became one of the most popular dog breeds in the U.S farms.
13
Finally, the rat terriers gained full recognition from the AKC in 2013.
14
Number 2.
15
Their Personality and Temperament Even though rat terriers were originally bred to work as either farm dogs or hunting dogs, these pooches are now one of the most common household companions.
16
These guys are friendly, affectionate and loyal to their family members.
17
They are humorous, independent, hardworking and lively dogs with a little mischievous personality.
18
If you own one of these dogs, you'll spend most of the time laughing at their playful activities.
19
Number 3.
20
They are Rat-Controlled Dogs As we've mentioned before, Rat Terriers were bred to catch, prey and hunt rats on farms.
21
American farmers preferred these dogs over pesticides and rodenticides because owning a Rat Terrier was much more convenient than using harmful chemicals.
22
Because of their popularity, new lines in the breed were developed from Rat Terriers.
23
For example, in the Midwest, Rat Terriers were bred with Whippets and Italian Greyhounds to produce quick dogs
24
that could help control jackrabbit populations and in central southwest America, they were bred with beagles to improve their hunting skills.
25
Number 4.
26
They are excellent scape artists.
27
These dogs are known to be excellent scape artists, as digging is an inherent trait that they possess.
28
Because of this, your Rat Terrier will spend a great deal of time digging in your yard.
29
Don't panic though, as long as you provide them with the place in your
30
yard where they can dig up to their heart's content under your surveillance, they won't try to escape.
31
But remember, these terriers have high wanderlust potential, meaning that if you are not around to supervise them during their digging sessions, they actually might end up escaping.

Number 5.
35
They need regular exercise.
36
Bred to work all day on the farm, these guys need a lot of exercise and if they don't get it, they'll find ways to amuse themselves by creating a miss in your yard.
37
You can help your rat terrier exercise for at least 40
38
minutes every day in a fenced yard with a lot of room for them to run around.
39
Or you might also want to take them for hiking, cycling, and jogging with you.
40
These dogs have high exercise needs and if you have a busy lifestyle, rat terriers might not be the ones for you.
41
Number 6.
42
They have a high prey drive.
43
Rat terriers are not off-leash dogs because they are bred to hunt
44
and they have an inborn desire to chase and hunt other animals.
45
If you keep them off leash while on a walk, they are likely to attack smaller animals like cats, hamsters, chinchillas and even small dogs.
46
So always remember to keep your dog on a leash while going outdoors.
47
However, if your rat terriers are raised with a cat, bird, chicken or other animals in a household, they'll generally get along as family members.
48
Number 7.
49
They are wary of strangers.
50
These dogs are very wary of strangers.
51
They might give signals to warn you about intrusions in your house.

Rat terriers have a general dislike of strangers.
54
They're absolutely fearless and if not properly socialized, they could be aggressive towards strangers.
55
However, if you welcome visitors to your home, your rat terrier will greet them as guests.
56
But have patience, because bonding with these dogs takes time.
57
Number 8.
58
They're easily provoked.
59
Despite their size, rat terriers are very strong dogs.
60
Aggression in these dogs varies from an individual dog to another that can at times be friendly towards other canines, but it greatly depends upon the behavior of other dogs towards them.
61
Rat Terriers are easily provoked and won't hesitate to take down an aggressor five times their size.
62
Because these dogs are easily provoked, it's highly recommended that you keep them on a leash to avoid them from biting other dogs or even people.
63
Number 9.
64
The grooming needs.
65
Although rat terriers have high exercise needs, they require relatively low maintenance when it comes to grooming.
66
You can brush your rat terrier once per week with a rubber mitt
67
or a soft brush to remove loose hair and debris.
68
Because they have a very short, dense and smooth coat that does not get dirty too soon, you can bathe the Rat Terrier only when needed.
69
Rat Terriers experience heavier shedding during the fall and spring and during heat cycles, so grooming should be much more focused during these times of the year.
70
Number 10.
71
They are prone to improper bites.
72
Rat Terriers are generally healthy, but like all breeds, they're prone to some orthodontic problems like an improper bite.

Maloclucin, or improper bite, is a slightly deformed jaw structure that leaves the jaw misaligned.

這些短語不僅簡潔易懂，同時也幫助學習者在與他人交流時更加流利。通過shadowing site練習，學習者可以模仿影片中的發音和語調，增加對日常短語的掌握。
逐步跟讀指導
為了有效提升您的英語發音，建議採用以下步驟進行跟讀練習：
- 選擇短片段：從影片中選擇一些簡短的句子，比如“這些狗是活潑的”。
- 傾聽與模仿：首先仔細聆聽發音，然後嘗試跟著複述。注意發音的重音和語調。
- 分段練習：可以將句子分成幾個部分，逐步跟讀，確保每個部分都能正確發音。
- 錄音對比：可以錄下自己的聲音，與影片中的音訊進行對比，找出需要改進的地方。
- 不斷重複：通過不斷重複練習，加深記憶，並提高發音的準確性。
通過這種方法，學習者可以在愉快的環境中增強對語言的掌握，同時提升自己的發音能力，特別是在等待雅思口語練習的過程中，跟讀技巧的運用可以極大地幫助您提高英語水平。
影片中的語法
說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：
| 結構 | 影片中的用法 |
|---|---|
| 條件句 if + 從句，will/would + 動詞 — 條件及其結果 | if they don't get it, they'll find |
| 被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的 | were developed · were originally bred · is said |
| 現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事 | we've mentioned · we've come · you've already had |
| 用 “might / may” 表可能 might/may + 動詞 — 有可能但不確定的事 | might end · might also want · might not be |
什麼是跟讀法？
跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
