ACTIVTY 2:

Write 2 paragraphs about your pandemic experiences.

The effects of the COVID-19 panic have caused massive changes to our daily

lives, changes that have often happened rapidly and abruptly. Life adjustments often

come with a wide range of experiences and emotions. Sometimes that transition can

feel smooth and other times, that journey to the new normal is choppy or downright

bumpy!

The pandemic also gave me firsthand experience of what it would be like to live

in a quarantine zone. Also, it affected my lifestyle and school significantly. Online

classes do not provide the same environment and interactions as in-person classes.

But, in the end, I am slowly beginning to adapt. As the pandemic is somewhat under

control, the spread of the virus stagnates. We’re now living in the new norm. We no

longer view things the same, the way we did before. Large gatherings and activities that

require large groups to come together are now unimaginable! Distanced learning is

what we know, not to mention the importance of social distancing and having to wear

masks anywhere and everywhere we go. Also, this is the new norm now, and who

knows when and if ever we’ll be able to go back to what we knew before.
