Due to COVID-19 pandemic, we ought to stay home not only protecting ourselves but also
giving doctors’ a hand by not spreading virus. Therefore, summer vacations may look different
this year. However, many entertainments can be taken into consideration.

time. Nevertheless, you should not spend so much time on video games because they harm your
physical health and mental health, especially your eyes -the window to your soul. Furthermore,
