Do you know World Smile Day? It falls on the first Friday of October every year. It is a day to make others smile, and to make sure you have a smile on your face as well.
It is said that Harvey Ball, an artist from the USA, created it. It began as a bright yellow circle with two dots (圆点) and a curved (弯曲的) black line. The two dots are eyes and the curved black line is a smiling mouth. Later, Harvey came up with the idea of the smiling face for World Smile Day to make people devote (奉献) one day each year to smiles and kind acts.
There are a number of things you can do on that day to make people around you smile. You can do little acts of kindness, like buying a stranger a cup of coffee, offering your seat to people in need on the bus, etc. Or you can surprise someone in your family with a gift, by cooking a meal for them, or doing something special for them.
World Smile Day encourages you to do something to bring smiles into the world. If we do this, we can make the world a better place.
