Global Handwashing Day was used in the fight against Ebola, a very serious disease, with events held in affected (受感染的) African countries.Today, local and national leaders continue to use the day to spread the message about the importance of clean hands.

Withthe development of the Internet， internet friendship has also become very popular. Online friends are those people who have known each other through the Internet. Making internet friends is the same as making pen friends. Many famous websites offer quite warm internet friendship. One can find many people on these websites and they share the same interests. It is difficult to make friends with someone you cant see or feel. That is the main problem of internet friendship. A virtual friendship would not last forever without seeing each other， but it is an advantage for some people because they are afraid to speak in pubic.On the other hand， the chances of cheating(欺骗) are very high in an internet friendship. Some people make friends on the Internet with wrong intentions(企图).So while making friends over the Internet， one has to be very careful. Here are some suggestions for you.Dont give personal information， such as your telephone number， address， location， school name as well as your parents information， to strangers on the Internet.Do not exchange personal photos of you or any family member with people you meet over the Internet.Do not go to meet a person you have just met over the Internet.
