Read the following passage carefully and answer the following question (1,2,3) The word hygiene means the practice of keeping ourselves clean. It also means to keep our home and work places clean. It is important for our good health. Hygiene is though to be next to godliness. It is because we cannot achieve anything physically, mentally, spiritually if we are unclean in our body, mind and soul. Nobody likes an unclean man. So we must follow the rules of hygiene. First, we must keep our body clean. We should have a bath every day and wash our hair regularly. This will keep the body and hair free from dirt and bacteria. Secondly, we should wash our clothes regularly. Dirty clothes give off bad smell and invite germs. We should wear shockes and shoes when we go out to protect our feet from dust and germs. It is also important to wash our hands before meals and after using the toilet. We should brush our teeth twice a day, after breakfast and supper. We must also cut our nails regularly. Our drinking water must be pure. We can get pure water by boiling and filtering. Finally, we should keep our surroundings and environment clean. If we follow all the above rules properly, we will be able to lead a happy life.
