opinion:
We should wash hands frequently everyday. When I was working in the hospital, I had to wash my hands before and after doing anything. It is not only good for myself, but also helpful for my patients. Actually everyone knows how to wash hands, but some of them are lazy. They just rinse their hands without soap, or they think soap is harmful for our hands because of chemical. I think they can change their habit or change their soap. There has another kind of soap without chemical, and it is really good for our hands. To sum up, hand washing is really important for us to keep health.
