“If we don’t often wash our hands, we can pick up viruses（病毒）form many places and make ourselves ill,” a man from CDC says. Doctors always say every time when you touch your eyes, nose or mouth, you may be ill. In fact, one of the common（平常的） ways of catching a cold is by rubbing（擦拭）their noses or their eyes when there are viruses on their hands. If you don’t often wash your hands, especially when you’re sick, you may spread the viruses to others. You should wash your hands in these situations:
1. After using the washroom
2. After rubbing your nose or coughing.
3. Before eating or making food.
4. After touching animals.
5. After visiting a sick man.
6. When your hands are dirty.
There’re right ways to wash your hands. Follow these things to keep your hands clean:
1. Use warm water (not cold or hot).
2. Wash for 15 seconds.
3. Wash well under warm running water and dry them with a clean towel.
