 Lesson

4 The Human Body: My Little Tongue

The tongue is your sense of taste. It tells the taste of

things. It helps you in chewing the food. It also helps you
talk.
The tongue identifies a thing by its taste. When you
taste a food, you determine its flavor.
The four primary taste sensations are salty, sour, sweet
and bitter.

Choose five of your favorite foods from the picture.

Can you list down the reasons why these are your
favorites.
