Model Answer Writing I think it is difficult to just choose one. However, if I had to choose only one, I would choose a hawk’s strong sense of sight. A hawk has the best sense of sight in the world. A hawk’s sense of sight is eight times better than a human’s. I think this could benefit humans very much. If a human had a hawk’s sense of sight, it could help them be better drivers. I don’t think there would be as many car accidents. I think people would be more aware of what is around them. Also, people would be able to see cars better when they are walking. I also think that people would be able to see danger coming toward them. Then, they would be able to avoid it. So, if I had to choose only one sense, I would choose a hawk’s strong sense of sight.
