The Elvis system, which is an interface, allows dolphins to answer questions that their trainers make them. They show to the dolphin different figures, which represent a different type of fish, and dolphin choose one of these shapes. The trainer, who waits to answer's Dolphin, gives the food that chooses dolphin. The dolphin named Luna, who is the youngest, learn faster than other dolphins to communicate with this system. It is expected that in the future "Elvis", which is the system with which dolphins communicate, can help them decide which toys they want.

 Final personal reflection 

I think that during this course I learned many things that helped me improve the level of English that I had, also thanks to that seen in this class could improve and correct errors that I had from previous courses. I learned a lot of new vocabulary that helped me understand many things that I read or studied outside of class, plus I think much improvement in pronunciation and over half also got better in the activities we were doing.  Sometimes it was not easy for me to understand some things but the teacher facilitated tools to study the subject which helped me overcome my doubts. I think this was a very good course to improve language.
