MY TIME CAPSULE

PART 1 (Vladi , Yanay and I)

The Coronavirus is a highly dangerous virus that attacks the lungs, its highly lethal to people with lung problem (asthma) and elderly people above the age of 50. It started in December 2019 The CoronaVirus (now known as COVID-19) . The virus first appeared in Wuhan , China, and allegedly

cross-contaminated because a man ate a bat, which was carrying the virus .

The virus keeps spreading because of 3 key factors :

1. People won’t self-isolate and keep partying .

2. The government isn’t following the same precautions as other countries that have completely eradicated the virus from their land.

3. The virus in itself spreads very easily from country to country and from person to person .

THE SITUATION TODAY – 25.01.2021
The Coronavirus has 99.2M international cases, nearly half of them have recovered from the virus (54.8M) while sadly 2.1M people have passed away from the virus , we currently are in lockdown and are self-isolating , and hopefully , we can return to our normal lives .

In March of 2020 COVID-19 first came to Israel, in the end of March the entire country underwent a nationwide lockdown. Most businesses had to close their store and the economy took a heavy blow. The school department closed all schools and learned from home (ZOOM), most adults couldn’t work and, it was very tough for them and for us because of our economic state, COVID hurt our lives a lot in and we hope to return to normal as soon as possible .

Things I’m looking forward to do when life goes back to normal :

My plans for the day after the Corona consist of three main things I must do  .

1) Fly to Prague – Usually , twice a year , I fly to different places in the world . I really miss walking the streets I have never seen , getting to know new cultures , taking pictures , shopping and spending time with my family .

You’re probably asking why Prague . My answer is tha Prague is the most amazing and beautiful place for me , I like to spend time there , the weather is perfect , the people are nice and the boys are HOT !!

2) Visit my family in Russia – My grandparents , my cousins and many other family members live in Russia . I have not seen them for about 3 years .

Obviously i talk with my family in video chats or Skype but digital communication is not the same as face-to-face meeting , at least for me .

I miss them so much . They will always be in my heart no matter how far they are .

3) Party with my friends – I really like parties , especially parties in open spaces with music . Usually we go on holidays but now we have the Corona virus and that’s not going to happen .

Special events during the corona

The truth is that the holidays this year felt less like holidays to me . We usually celebrate with a full family but this year we celebrated with a close family and it was pretty boring .

Before the Corona , on Saturdays, we used to go for walks , go to restaurants , hang out with our family and have fun . 

But now , we can’t do that .

During the Corona period , Mom, Dad, my brother and I , just eat and watch TV on the holidays . It’s called to celebrate? Definitely not ! I’m really sad that this is how it is but it is not in my power to change it .

My vision of what life after the pandemic will be like 

It’s very difficult to say now what will happen after the corona , but I guess life will not be the same .

I think the corona has changed me a lot , I have learned to appreciate things , organize my time and take responsibility . And that is why I think that when everything is over I will be a better person than before the corona . I’m sure the world will take the idea of ​​distance learning and combine it with frontal learning because why not ? Businesses will open  and the economy will finally return to normal .

I believe we will take off those disgusting masks and stop counting dead people a day . I also think the corona has changed each and every one of us ,  I hope we get out of the corona better people , nicer and most importantly people who know how to appreciate things , because everything can end in a second and the corona is proof of that . 

PART 4 – REFLECTION  FORM 

• I liked the first part where we worked in groups , because working in a group with people you like is a lot more fun than learn alone                                                                        

• I think the least favorite part for me would be to present the work in class because I am shy                                   

• The truth is that the project  was not complicated at all and I enjoyed working on it                                                      

• The writing part was really easy , I just had to express my opinion, what i usually like to do                                                                 

• I believe the project helped me to earich my vocabulary , helped me express my opinion in English better and most importantly it will help my grade in English                                                                                 

• I’m surprised but working in a group with two boys is totally cool , no fights and everyone does their part        

  Yanay and I looked for information and Vladi translated
