Short Speech on Cleanliness in English for Students and children

Respected Principal, teachers, and my dear friends.

Good morning to all of you.

Today I am going to speak on the topic- Cleanliness.

Cleanliness is an important aspect of healthy living. It is a state of being clean which means free from dirt and germs. The habit of maintaining cleanliness is as important as consuming food, drinking water and breathing.

This habit should be encouraged right from childhood as cleanliness is considered next to godliness which means maintaining cleanliness is just like devoting yourself to God.

It is considered so important because it helps us prevent many kinds of diseases. When we keep ourselves clean and also our surroundings clean, we protect ourselves from various kinds of viruses and bad bacterias that can make us fall ill.

It not only prevents various diseases but also keeps us and our surroundings look beautiful. A clean place always looks very attractive and neat.

There are ways to maintain cleanliness around us. It is not very difficult. A small effort by all of us can keep us and our surroundings clean. For personal cleanliness, we should take bath daily, wash our hands before and after a meal, brush our teeth twice a day, comb our hair daily, etc.

To keep our surroundings clean, we should always throw garbage in the dust bin, clean our surroundings with the help of a mop and broom, always pick up in case there is a drop on the floor while eating, etc.

Sometimes we focus only on personal hygiene or cleanliness of the house but not of our surroundings. For example, throwing garbage on the road after cleaning the house. This is not the right thing to do.

Maintaining cleanliness in our surroundings is as important as cleanliness in our house. So we should never throw a toffee wrapper or an empty can on the road. In the case of no dust bin nearby, we should wait to dispose of it properly.

It is very easy to create a mess but it takes a lot of effort to clean. We should always take small steps towards maintaining cleanliness and avoid actions that spoil the beauty around us.

Thank you.
