snapchat snaps

Imag ine a wor ld without wors : no read ing , no wr it ing and no communicat ion . There would be no books , no songs , no newspapers , no magaz ines , no f i lms , no te lev is ion , no internet - the l i st of th ings that would no longer ex ist is enormous . Words convey emot ions . They carry informat ion and they are a way of communicat ion . Communicat ion . It makes us d ifferent from wi ld an imals . Without it , there

would be no democracy, no order and poss ib ly no contro l ; we would be as c lever as a l ion without its roar or a mouse without its squeak . We would a l l be l iv ing a lone , every creature for itse lf . Communicat ion is key and without words , c iv i l i sat ion would not ex ist . (Margaret - can you h igh l ight th is with f luo ye l low)However , words are not for communicat ion a lone . They are used
