Importance of Hand Washing

Importance of Hand Washing is the title of the recording that I listen tonight. The recording use the transcriptions so it made me easy to understand every sentences. Well, I'm trying to make a summary from that recording.

Here's what I got:

The recording says how important hand washing is. Hand washing can prevent us from disease. We need soap and water to do that. One million lives could be save by washing hand with soap and water. It says, there are so many disease that can spread by our hands. It so easy for us to get sick especially when we rub our eyes or nose right after someone has sneezed or coughed. Because there's bacteria in our hands and it can infect ourselves. We need to wash our hands before and after prepared the food, after cleaning the baby, after using the toilet, after touching the animals, and many other activities. It is good if we wash our hands with soap and hot water. The most effective way to wash the hands is to rub all areas of the hands after using soap and water for about 10 or 15 seconds. After that we can dry our hands. We don't need to use any anti-bacterial soap after washing the hands.

So, from the summary above, now we know about how important it is to wash our hands before and after doing an activity. Because we know, we can infect ourselves by rubbing eyes or nose with our hands. From now on, make it as our habit.

How Loneliness can Infect Social Networks

Last week, I've listened to a VOA's report about health in here. I made the summary of that report.


Here's what I can catch from the recording



Loneliness is one of health problems. Loneliness can spread really fast between the close friends; just like the infections. Obesity, happiness and the ability to stop smoking also can spread really fast among the social groups. Study found that loneliness more likely to happen between next-door neighbors who were close friends but now spend less time together. And also, loneliness often occur among women than men. It said that people who have a lonely friend can add several days with lonely feeling in a year. But if they can add some friends, it can decrease the days with lonely feeling. People with loneliness are hard to believe on others. And it make them more difficult to  make friends.
