THE HUMAN BODY

The principal parts of the human body are: the
head, the trunk and the limbs.
We have hair on the head. Inside the head, we
have the brain. We think with our brain. Between
the forehead and the eyes, we find the
eyebrowns. We see with our eyes. The principal
parts of the eyes are: the eyelids and the
eyelashes. Between the eyes and the mouth, we
see the nose. We smell with our nose. The
mouth has lips, teeth and tongue. We eat, talk,
drink and smile with our mouth. We kiss with our
lips and chew with our teeth, between the chin
and the eyes, we find the cheeks. On both sides
of the head, we find the ears. We hear with our
ears. The neck joins the head to the trunk.
In our trunk, we have the chest. Inside the chest,
we find the heart and the lungs. The waist
separates the chest from the abdomen. In the
back, there is the backbone.
We have four limbs: two arms and two legs. The
principal parts of the arm are: The shoulder, the
elbow, the wrist and the hand. The hands has
five fingers: The thumb, the fore-finger, the
middle-finger, the ring-finger and the little-finger.
