The Spring Festival of this year was an unusual one. The outbreak of virus became the focus. There was no visiting relatives or friends, no New Year's greetings, and no party or celebration.

Every morning, my parents will report the latest information about the virus first. For example, the number of new cases, the cumulative number of confirmed cases, the number of discharged cases, the number of deaths, and which province makes prevention and control measures...... After hearing this, I feel that our country is engaged in a dangerous battle.

Parents said that the prevention and control of the virus is really a war like sniper war, and we must not go out, we must wash our hands, we must learn to be quiet at home, and we must do more exercise, and this is the best support for the battle. So every day I practice being alone in the house. I insist on doing this for an hour and a half a day. Between learning, I also try to corridor pace back and forth in the home, practice basic dance movements in the bedroom, and even practice English songs singing karaoke in the sitting room. I walk into the kitchen to learn how father cooks. After dinner father and I play chin chess. We also watch the "Chinese poetry conference" on TV in the evening. Of course, the thing that makes me happy the most is practicing table tennis. My father teaches me how to start from the ball bouncing, and he makes the ping-pong ball on the paddle bounce so that it will improve my sense of the ball. At first, I couldn't catch the ping-pong ball once it bounced on the paddle. I thought it was too difficult. I wanted to give up after practicing several times. My father encouraged me by saying, "you find it difficult because you don't have the method and you don't practice enough. You need to keep adjusting the angle and force of the ball, so that the ball bounces straight in front of your body, so that you can bounce the ball continuously." I did as my father said with the method of repeated practice, and as expected, there was some progress that happened on me. After I practiced the table tennis for three days, I felt like this was a good practice.

Our family is so full and happy to enjoy this special Spring Festival at home. In order to win the battle against the virus, a large number of medical workers left their families and went to fight against the virus every day and night during the Spring Festival.

And the news reported that these heroes take care of everyone, and are the most lovely and respectable people. I hope they as soon as possible return home to their family reunion, and share the beautiful scenery of spring!

The Best Way To Get Exercises During Quarantine

We have to stay at home every day to protect us during quarantine. We can’t go out and play basketball or soccer or other exercises. That’s not good for health. So what can we do? Here are three exercises. We can do these at home and they are all good for our health. Let’s see.

The first one is the sit-up. It’s easy to do. First, you have to lie on a yoga mat. Then bend your legs and get up. You have to do the sit-up more than twenty times a day. Teenagers have to do it more than fifty times a day. That’s good for health.

The second exercise is Burpee. This is a hard one. Jump up and clap your hands over head, and then do a push-up. Only young people can do this exercise because it will hurt your knees so the old people can’t do this. Push-up requires strength, so it’s hard for kids too. If you feel really tired, you can just clap your hands over head, or just do the push-up. These are all really good exercise.

The third one is yoga. Yoga is a graceful exercise. Everyone can do it. All you need is a yoga mat. You have to hold a position while you are doing yoga. Most of time, yoga is easy to do. So I often do yoga on weekend. Yoga is good for health too.

All in all, we can do these exercises at home during the quarantine. We'd better not go out these days. So exercising at home is a really good choice. Let’s do exercises now!

Studying Music When I Am In Quarantine

Do you like music? I like it. Music is a very important thing in my life. I have been practicing piano since I was five. Piano for me is just like a friend.

I will practice piano every day for about four hours. When I am playing piano, I feel like I am talking to a friend. If you talk with it, it will respond to you with wonderful music. This winter vacation, I play piano every day. When there is no coronavirus, my mother will often take me to concerts. But now, the coronavirus is all around the world; we have to stay home. During the quarantine, I had been dealing with the piano. Every day I have a lot of time to play piano. But I can’t go out to listen to concerts. At home, I often listen to some piano audio myself, or think about how this piece should be played. Every day what I want to do the most is to play the piano; I can play my favorite piano song. When there is no coronavirus, every week, I will go to the teacher’s house for class. If I have a problem in class, the teacher will teach me one by one. Sometimes the teacher will show me how to play. But now, I have to stay home. Sometimes, I will have class online. Having class online is different from having class in teacher’s house. Teacher can’t teach me one by one, but having class online saves a lot of time.

Actually when we were in quarantine at first, I was very scared. Sometimes I felt very irritable. But after that, I slowly calmed down. Every day, I played piano and listened to music. Everything is getting better.

I hope that the epidemic from all over the world will pass soon, so I can teach piano better.

The sudden coming of the virus has caused a great change in people's lives. Now the situation of controlling the virus is getting better day by day. And the data shows that the number of people who are infected by the virus is decreasing every day.

It is really an unusual holiday in this winter holiday, and I planned to travel with my parents to some interesting places originally, and taste the delicious food all over the world. Then we will visit our friends and relatives who we have not seen in a long time... But all these beautiful expectations were ruined by a devil called coronavirus.

Experts say covid-19 was caused by humans eating wild animals. And they said the virus is spread by breathing. Worst thing is the speed of transmission the virus is very fast, and also the affected area of the virus will be wider than you can imagine. And when the person who was infected by the virus will be same as normal people in first twenty days. Last, when you were infected by the virus, the death rate of the virus is high. If you were treated, you were no longer as healthy as the normal people.The situation of preventing the virus is getting more and more tense, and the people in my neighbors, city, and even the country have actively responded to the government's call. So we try our best to not go out. Then there's the question: how do you buy food without going out? How do I pay a New Year call? How do we attend the training classes? Don't worry, remember, we live in a new era of rapid technological development, so please leave it all to the "god" of the Internet platform. As the saying goes, "a machine in hand, life without worry."

Then I will make some summaries about the benefits after the virus comes to our life.

1 . People's awareness of virus prevention has increased fast

The coming of the virus warns us not to trample on wild animals. After the coronavirus affected our life, people's awareness of the virus has been improved. Protective items such as masks and disinfectant water will be stored at home in case of emergency

2. Personal economic impact

A lot of people think it will quickly pass for the coming of coronavirus, when we face the danger of the coronavirus. And there’s no one who had never thought the outbreak would continue for more than a month, but it has not been removed yet. I believe most people do not have too much preparation on the economy; many netizens said they have no money for the net lending, mortgages, or car loans, because the work was not as they planned. After the virus, personal savings will increase. So everyone in the months after the outbreak will be lower than before.

3. Promoting the development of the Internet

During the period of the virus, schools, factory constructions cannot go as scheduled. And people will use the development on the Internet to do the education, and as an online office. They will enter the students' life, and the shortest time for half a month, so it will be famous for everyone to learn online. In the future, the development of online education will become a good job for everyone.

The ways coronavirus has changed something in my life

Now, new coronavirus is spreading all over the world. It has changed the look of the city which I live in. Everyone stays at home. On the street, no one speaks to others. There is a lot less communication between people. The place of life has really changed a lot. Coronavirus changed my life in these two places.

The biggest influence on me is school life; because of coronavirus, we should have been in school, but now we stay at home. We have many classes at home. We can learn it on IPad or Phone. But when you go to school, you can feel everyone is around you, you can hug you friend, you can talk to them. Your teacher, friends are all by your side. When you are in school, we have PE, music, experiment course. We can interact with the teacher. Having classes at home is different. You don’t have a teacher or our friend around you, only one IPad in front of you. You can’t talk with them whenever you want. You can’t touch them or hug them. You can’t have PE, music or experiment course classes on IPad, either. If you have classes at home, you don’t have to get up very early. Having classes at home is more comfortable than school, too.

Because of coronavirus, no one goes out, so there is much less communication between people. When there is no coronavirus, people often talk together and people often go out in groups. Everyone is so friendly and warm. But now everyone is separated because of the virus. On the street, people are afraid of infecting each other, so no one talks to each other. The whole city became very indifferent. Because of the virus, I stay at home every day, so there are fewer opportunities to communicate with others. I feel very bored; the virus has changed a lot in this regard.

Now the virus is serious and is spreading all over the world. I wonder if it has changed your life?

Coronavirus Changed Me

Coronavirus is a global epidemic. It has changed our lives. We can’t play with our friends; when we want to go out, we have to wear a mask, we have to disinfect ourselves and the room with alcohol after doing things, and we have to stay at home and use the online education for study every day. It bothers me. But the coronavirus changed us in some good ways too!

First of all, it is a good habit to disinfect often. The alcohol can kill most of the bacteria or virus. It’s good for our health. If we stay in a room with lots of bacteria or virus, we will get sick easily. So we have to disinfect our room to protect ourselves.

Secondly, we learn how to protect ourselves from infection. When you want to cough, what should you do? Just cough and don’t care about anything? Of course not. You should take a tissue and the cough. What if you didn’t have a tissue? Maybe you will use your hands, but actually that’s not healthy either. You can bend your elbow to your mouth and cover it. That’s the best way.

Thirdly, we use the online education now. That means, we have to stay in front of the computer screen for six hours a day. It’s easy to feel bored during the class because we can’t interact to the teachers, and the class is hard to understand. So it’s hard to pay attention to the class. It’s a challenge of self-discipline to us.

I feel upset when I know we have to stay at home for a long time, and we better not go out. I’m angry about this. Why I can’t go out? I want to play and have fun with my friends. But finally I know, we have to follow some rules. This is the advice of the specialist; they are trying to protect us and cut the route of transmission of the virus. And now I know we have to follow the rules. Although sometimes these rules do not always make you feel free, they will help you.

The coronavirus changed me a lot. Not only because of the prevention measures of the epidemic, it changed my mind too.

Keeping away from the virus

Before the virus came, probably everyone fantasized about spending a good time during NEWYEAR at home! For example, we can sleep until ten am in the morning, watch tv with our families, and have some nice meals. When we really lived such a day, everything was not as good as our imagination.

It is comfortable to stay at home, but when I open my eyes every morning, looking out of the window, looking at the rays of sunshine, I am looking forward to taking off the mask outside, breathing a breath of fresh air that has been waiting for a long time, and I can also run in the outside to release the heart full of the trouble. All this now seems to be such an unbelievable hope. For all this, the only stuff we can do is to protect ourselves away from the virus, so that we can have a healthy, beautiful future.

Staying at home is the best way for us to protect ourselves. But we should not let staying at home becomes my "boring", "wasted" excuse. The first thing that I paid attention to was the daily news and the coverage of the virus on the social media websites. This news let me see the whole country, make concerted efforts to fight against the virus, and it also gave me the power of staying at home.

I decided to do more housework. The coming of virus make our parents got more pressure. For example, they have to make sure kids can stay away from the virus; they also need take care of our meals, they will help kids with some questions, and they also have to find a way to earn enough money for them to survive. To reduce the burden of parents; I will take care of my own study, and not be left behind by other students’ studying. Well virtually that’s not a big deal. We need to make a good virus prevention, just like washing hands, disinfecting, and having to wear a mask when I go out. Do what you can at home, step by step, to keep the virus away from our lives.

Staying at home taught me a new skill, and that’s making a simple disinfectant. First we have to prepare water, ethyl alcohol, essential oils and a clean watering can at home. You need to pour half a cup of medical alcohol into a watering can, then add half a cup of water. Drop in drops of essential oil; essential oil has a very good disinfection effect. Shake and the solution can be used as disinfection spray, spray on the desktop, mesa, door handle, such as the need to disinfect the place, reoccupy a dishcloth or wipe clean. When all sorts of material is tight, one begins to save resources, also to make an "epidemic prevention" contribution! With our own "deployment" of disinfectant in the home spray, keep the home environmental hygiene, so that my family and I are free from the virus, and we can safely stay at home through this period of emergency. I think it’s pretty good.

Staying at home does not hinder us, we try our best at things we can do, we learn some new skills, and it is also a way to prevent the virus, and to make a contribution. So staying at home also lets me have a fulfilling life.
