How reliable our senses are?

P1 Our senses are our primary way of interacting with the world. Long before we have learnt how to use language, or reason, or be anything like in control of our emotions, we are able to make use of our senses. Humans perceive basic sounds of speeches more easily than other sounds. The range of frequency of sound that human beings can receive is 20-20000Hz.

P2 Our brains only see what they want to see – conditioned by evolutionary instincts of survival – no matter what our reason tries to impose on our minds. In other words, what we see may not match up to reality at all.

P3 There are only five confirmed types of true tastes—sour, sweet, salty, bitter, and savory (also known as umami). Scientists found out that only humans and a few mammals have same taste senses. Humans may think of bitterness as things poisonous however some animals may assume them to be good taste.

P4 Smelling sense is an underdeveloped sense for human beings to cater for as our ancestors’ communication mechanism. Only when we sell some certain smelling we may perceive them to be dangerous.  

P5 Touching is a sense that everyone is different and it is the least reliable sense. A scientist conducted an experiment. All subjects are given sugar pills that contain inactive ingredient. They tells Group A they have painkillers and tells Group B what they have will increase their awareness of pain. The results is that Group A happy to switch to maximum pain level and Group B find mild shock intolerable.

Describe a TV series or drama you enjoy watching.

You should say:

What it is

What it’s about

When you first watched it

Why you like watching it.

Okay! I would like to say something about a new movie, the Wonder Woman. It stars Gal Gadot, a former member of the Israeli special force. I gotta say, she is the perfect Wonder Woman material. I mean, when you see her, you will know immediately that she is the incarnation of Wonder Woman in our mortal world. Feel free to check her image online, which is pretty self-explanatory.

The background of the movie is set during the First World War when the fallen God Ares allured mankind into wars. And as the daughter of Zeus, the Wonder Woman with the name of Diana started her journey to defeat Ares and bring back peace to humans. Expectedly, so many wow-moments are included and you just can’t help but, like, write a song about it. I have always been a fan of super heroes and watching this movie is a must.
