Solution
I can present my case on behalf of the eyes with the help of the following arguments:
- It is because of the eyes that one wears spectacles.
- Spectacles are made to correct one's vision.
- Spectacles aid the eyes to see clearly at all times of the day – be it day or night.
- Spectacles help in reading and in protecting the eyes from strain.
- If the eyes do not need spectacles, it is pointless to wear them.
