We usually say that people have five senses. Senses are the way that we
learn what is happening around us. The five main senses are sight, hearing,
touch, taste and smell.
Each sense depends on a
certain part of the body. This part of the body receives information and then
this information is sent to the brain. For example, we use eyes to see the
things around us. With ears we can hear the sounds. That is to say, eyes
control sighting and ears control hearing. Skin controls touch. Taste depends
on tongue while smell depends on nose. Besides, there are also other falling
