WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL
Hello to you all!
I am so happy because guess what? …I am back at school. Yes, I know
what you are thinking, but well…I am pleased to see all my friends…
even though it is on line because of the coronavirus! I was happy this
morning to start a new school year.
Let me start from the beginning. My name is Jean, I am 14 years old,
and my brother Jossbell is 28. I also have a younger brother, Laury,
who is 12 years old. My mother, Ally, is 50. She is a doctor, my father,
TENTH COURSE - ENGLISH

Michael, is 49 he is a chef in a restaurant. They are very nice, funny,

but they sometimes get angry when we do stupid things.
Since March, we are stressed because we can’t go back to school
because of the coronavirus. My father lost his job because the
restaurant closed. My mom became our hero because she helped care
for people infected with the coronavirus. When our teachers told us that
we would not have classes, we all jumped for joy, but we never thought
it was going to be that long. We were sad because we couldn’t see our
friends and teachers, but our parents told us it was for our safety.
During this pandemic, we have learned many things. I learned to cook.
I also learned to play with my brothers; we created different games to
entertain ourselves. I enjoyed watching series on TV and reading
books. We learned to be more collaborative at home, and the most
important thing was learning to enjoy family time.

Well, I hope it will be a good year for me and for you too!
