a. Washing the ear.
Ears are one of the parts of our bodies. You should clean the outside part of the ears whenever you have a bath. Cleaning inside the ear should be done once or twice within a week.
Our ear has wax. Ear wax help to prevent dust bacteria and other germs from entering and damaging your ears.
Too much wax is dirtiness so you should clean inside.
Materials for cleaning ears

You can use cotton buds when cleaning outside your ears and not inside since it can push the wax inside the ear canal. This will cause deafness or damage to your ear canal and your drum

b. Cutting nails
When cutting nails we use
• Razor blade
• Pair of scissors
• Nail cutter
Nails of both our fingers and toes must be small all the time; long nails are bad because they keep dirt. The dirt keeps germs. Make sure that you cut your nails every week
When you use cutting tools, you should be careful so that you don’t harm yourself by cutting your fingers or toes especially if you use blade.
c. Shaving air
We have to keep our hair smart and attractive. Long hair are not good since they are hard to clean or to comb. You should keep your hair short and clean by shaving.
Shaving is cutting of the hair so that to be smart and neat.
