care of the cleanliness of your body.A god bath with plenty of soap and water once a day is a

must in a hot country like ours. Wearing clean clothes is also important. Nails , hair and teeth

carbohydrates, fat, proteins, vitamins, minerals and roughage. So, our meals must contain food

rest after being active, and one good way of resting is to sleep. We must have enough hours to
sleep to allow our bodies relax.

Many countries around the world have no caves. This is not because there are no hills
or mountains in those places. Some of the world’s biggest mountains have no caves becauses
they are not made of the right sort of stone. But the low, limestone hills of the north of England
and the south of France are full of interesting caves.
For hundred of years, people have enjoyed finding caves ang going inside them. This sport is
called “caving”, and the people who do it are called “caves”. Cave exploration began in Europe
and even today most cavers come home here. That is why we know so much about European
cavers. But in many other parts of the world there are hundreds of caves which few people have
ever visited. For example, there are many caves in Russia and Afghanistan, in Albania and
China, but not many cavers in those countries and it is often very difficult for foreign cavers to
get permission to visit.
