PART B_1

You will read aloud the passage below. I will check your pronunciation and intonation.
(Please send the mispronounced words and expressions to your student.)

PART B_2

It is often thought that when humans first learned how to control fire, one of the major effects was to keep people warm. However, this wrongly implies that our pre-cooking ancestors would have had difficulty staying warm without fire. Chimpanzees can survive nights while exposed to long, cold rainstorms, whereas gorillas sleep uncovered in high, cool mountains. Humans and every other species can maintain body heat without fire. This would mean our ancestors did not first control fire for warmth.

Still, the opportunity to be warmed by fire created many options. Humans are far better than chimpanzees and gorillas at running long distances. The problem with most animals is that they easily overheat when they run. They cannot develop a solution to this problem; animals need something to maintain body heat during rest or sleep, such as a thick coat of hair. They, unlike humans, are unable to remove this after exercise.
