Squeaks and I have tons of fun when a group of our friends get together here at the Fort.

And that got me thinking.

We have different names for different groups of people.

Like a group of kids that all have the same teacher is called a class.

And the people we're related to, or who we live with, or who take care of each other, Like our parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters, we call them a family.

Well, groups of animals have special names, too.

And I bet you might have even heard some of them.

For example, some groups of animals are called herds.

Most of the time, animals that move in herds have hooves.

This means that their feet have a tough, hard covering to help protect them.

Horses, cattle, and deer all have hooves, and they move in herds.

You might also have heard the word flock.

A big group of birds, especially ones that live or travel or eat together, are called flocks.

So if you see a bunch of geese, ducks, or chickens, then you're looking at a flock.

And you also might know that people aren't the only living things that hang out in schools.

Do you know what kind of animals live in groups called schools?

Good job, Squeaks!

Fish!

Big groups of fish are often called schools.

So you might be wondering where these names come from.

And the answer is that sometimes names come from words in other languages.

For example, the word school comes from a Dutch word that means crowd.

So a school of fish is another way to say a crowd of fish, which makes sense to me.

But sometimes we give groups of animals a name because the name describes something about the animal.

For example, some group names tell us where the animal lives.

A bee's home is called a hive, so a group of bees is sometimes called a hive, too.

Lots of different animals make their homes in nests, so we call these animal groups nests.

Groups of snakes and rabbits are called nests.

And guess what else, Squeaks?

You've got it!

Mice!

That's right, Squeaks!

A lot of groups of animals have more than one name, like rats.

A group of rats is called a colony, pack, swarm, horde, or, my favorite, a mischief.

So let's play a guessing game.

I'll tell you the animal, and you see if you can guess what the group of those animals is called.

Don't worry, I'll give you some hints to help you out.

Clams and oysters live buried in the bottom of the ocean.

These animals don't move around very much.

They do all of their living in one spot, covered up with a blanket of sand.

So do you think a group of oysters or clams is called a bed, an army, or a flock?

If you guessed bed, you're right!

Oysters and clams don't really sleep, but since they're usually buried in a cozy patch of ground, groups of oysters and clams are called beds.

Okay, let's try another.

How about prairie dogs?

These little animals and their families live in burrows, which are long underground tunnels that they use like streets to travel back and forth.

So do you think a group of prairie dogs and where they live is called a herd, a town, or a troop?

Town is correct!

Just like you and I use streets to get around in our city or town, the prairie dogs use burrows to get around in their town.

Okay, let's try one more.

The lion.

Now the name of a group of lions doesn't tell us about where it lives, but it tells us something about how people think about the animal, or what they remind them of.

Here's a hint, sometimes people call this animal the king of the beasts.

Doesn't he look proud of himself?

So do you think a group of lions is called a bed, a swarm, or a pride?

If you guessed pride, you're right!

A long time ago, people thought lions looked like they were very proud of themselves.

So today we call a group of lions a pride.

And these are only a few of the really cool animal groups out there!

So ask a grown-up to help you look up the name of your favorite animals group, and let us know what you learned!

什么是跟读法？

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧，最初开发用于专业口译员的培训，并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大：您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同，跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性，语调，节奏，连读，听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
