Please wash your hands often!

親愛的同學、老師及家長，您好！

      最近有許多同學因為腸胃不舒服而請假，因此，衛生組在此提醒您，請您要常洗手，而且要用正確的方式來洗手。

      雖然天氣很冷、水很冰，而且用正確的方式洗手可能要花上整整一分鐘左右，手濕濕的感覺會更冷，但是如果你因為沒有正確洗手，而讓你自己得腸胃炎，反而要花更多的時間來康復，因此在此呼籲大家，一定要用肥皂洗手，而且一定要搓上二十秒，才能夠達到清潔的效果。

      在本頁最後，附上一些網站的連結，您可以在這些網站上面找到許多實用的資訊，並找到正確洗手的方式，請您務必在生活中用正確的方式勤洗手。

       祝福大家這一個冬天都有一個健康的身體喔！

Dear students, teachers and parents, 

      How are you?  

     Recently I found a lot of students suffered from stomach flu.  A lot of students took sick leaves in the past 2 weeks.   Here I would like to remind everyone that "washing your hands often and correctly is very important."  

     I think the cold weather and the iced-cold water are the reasons why everyone doesn't like to wash hands correctly.  It takes time.  However, it takes more time to recover from stomach flu.  Therefore, please do apply the soap to your hands and scrub your hands together at least 20 seconds.  It is one of the best ways to keep germs and bacteria far away from you.  

    I found some webpages talking about washing hands correctly.   You can get more useful information from those websites.  

      Hope everyone can stay healthy in the winter!

Best regards,
