Unit-3 : Health and Hygiene
Lesson-3 (A): Hygiene
Seen Passage
Read the text and answer the questions 1 and 2.
The word ‘hygiene’ means the practice of keeping ourselves clean. It also means to keep our home and workplaces clean. It is important for our good health. Hygiene is thought to be next to godliness. It is because we cannot achieve anything physically, mentally or spiritually if we are unclean in our body, mind and soul. Nobody likes an unclean person either. So we must follow the rules of hygiene.
First, we must keep our body clean. We should have a bath everyday 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 a bad smell and invite germs. We should wear socks 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 safe. We can get safe water by boiling and filtering.
Finally, we should keep our surroundings and environment clean.
If we do and follow all the above things properly, we will be able to lead a healthy and happy life.
