ВEСЬ aнглийский нa 10 стрaницaх
Просто дело в том, что грамматику нужно пoнимать, а не бездумно заучивать правила. Как тoлько вы начнете представлять систему языка в целом и понимать ее механизмы – вот тогда-то самое время оттачивать мастерство в практике и учить правила на случай, если что-то забудется, или подведет интуиция.

Human Body Sounds List in English
Our body makes different sounds. These are called Human Body Sounds. These sounds can tell us a lot about our health and how our body works.
Think about the sound our heart makes. It goes “lub-dub”. This sound means our heart is pumping blood and helping us stay alive. Another common sound is our stomach. Sometimes, after we eat, our stomach makes a gurgling sound. This means our food is being digested.
When we breathe, we can hear ourselves inhale and exhale. This is a sign that our lungs are working and giving our body fresh air. But if our breathing sounds different, it might mean we’re sick or having trouble.
Some sounds can surprise us. Like when we move our fingers and hear a ‘crack’ sound. This sound is made by tiny bubbles in our joints popping. It’s a normal sound, but many people think it’s bad. It’s not.
Our ears can also make sounds. Sometimes, we might hear a ringing sound when it’s very quiet. This is called tinnitus. It can happen if we listen to very loud music or if our ears have a problem.
Our voice is another Human Body Sound. We use our voice to talk, sing, or even whisper. It’s how we communicate and share our feelings.
In short, the Human Body Sounds help us understand our body better. Each sound has a reason, and by listening to them, we can know more about our health and body. So, the next time you hear a sound from your body, remember it’s just your body’s way of talking to you.
