• I live in a terrace house,where I have a small garden. The house is rather big and spacious,and it is quiet as usually there are little people at home.

- Do you think you are a tidy and organised person?

• I think that I am not really a tidy and organised person. I always leave my things on the table or chair and run upstairs to watch television whenever I reached home. Only some of the time,I bothered to pack my stuff and keep my things neat and tidy. Usually,I leave things around and do not bother to keep them. Therefore being an untidy person,I sometimes lose things and cannot find them anywhere.

- How do you keep the house or apartment clean?

• Usually,it is my maid doing the job of keeping the house clean but when I have the time,I always helped her by sweeping or moping the floor. As I hate dust and dirt lying around,I will clean the floor thoroughly so that the floor looks extremely shiny,clean and save from pests. Also,during some public holidays,my whole family cleans the whole house together and clear all the unwanted items in the house. This ensures that there are not too many old things that are unwanted lying around in the house.

- How important do you think hygiene is?

• I think hygiene is extremely important. We need to keep ourselves and the place that we stay clean to prevent spreading of diseases. Hygiene is also very important as it gives us a good impression to others. If we keep ourselves clean,there will be much less harm to us and the others around.

- When might it be difficult to have good hygiene?

• Usually it will be difficult to have good hygiene during periods where there are activitieswhich make us dirty. For example,when we do sports,we get sweaty and dirty after exercising,thus it will be difficult to have good hygiene at that point of time.

- Can you think of any problems with being too hygienic?

• Being too hygienic is really bad as it shows people that you are rather weird. For example,a person being too hygienic will bathe himself at least 6 times a day,will wash his hands after touching anything and clean his house everytime he sees a speck of dust on the floor. These are actually ways that can keep hygienic,but it has gone overboard.
