The spread of the corona virus very quickly certainly caused panic. When this virus
arrived in Indonesia and infected several people, panic immediately hit the Indonesian people,
health supplies such as masks were gone and prices jumped dramatically. Confusing news and
the slow handling by the Indonesian government added to the panic of residents to the rejection
of medical officers everywhere.
This virus spread by human interaction. So the government is trying various things to
break the chain of transmission and save people from becoming infected. they even apply
physical distancing to regional quarantine. but it's all back to yourself. This pandemic can be
overcome if we obey the government and actually carry out physical distancing, not going home
when you work in an area with a red zone status, not leaving the house if you don't really need it.
This virus does not only bring negative things. This virus also carries positive things such
as the ozone layer which is starting to be closed a sign that the earth is improving. the emergence
of animals that are considered extinct. this means he is only hiding from humans. this happens
when humans cannot get out of the house, meaning humans here are problem makers. people
often say that "the earth is sick" but still do things that can hurt the earth. words without deeds is
nothing, it is better to immediately do without saying anything.

Part D: second draft – read your rough draft; review your points/key words; revise and rewrite
(in English!):

This thing happens when humans can't leave their house. In this case, we can say that humans
are problem makers.
People often say that "the earth is sick" but still do things that can hurt the earth. It's time
to reflect on myself, am I a problem maker or problem solver? I know that words without action
are nothing, it's better to do it without saying anything and I want to be a superhero but I don't
have anything, so I think it's time for me to become a superhero. I will stay at home and save
others.
