Hello everyone!
I hope you are all doing well. School closure due to Coronavirus outbreak is obviously not a holiday, but nevertheless, it has offered us plenty of free time to do things we didn’t have the time to do before. Some people see it as a ‘blessing in disguise’, while others as a curse. How do teens feel about life at home during this quarantine?

Excellent job! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing!!! It really gave me the initiative to create my own material!!
These days are,really, very strange.I am in my home without I have gone out thirty days due to coronavirus.The really is that these days passed very quickly but not creative.Certainly, I would not do it again.Before few days started online lessons.I am very happy for it because now I will have to do something important for me and I will do something creative. On the other hand all my teachers have send several tasks to do and I have not so time to do all these.
Apart from these, I can not stay at home for a long time yet.I am bored, I am not in the mood to do things.I want to go out and I want meet my favourite people.Of course, I understand that this situation become for us.However, it is very difficult.
Dear Mrs Balara,
In these difficult days of isolation and strenuous online teaching your material has been valuable. I’ve been teaching your lesson this week and have created an online padlet where my students will write their thoughts about the difficult situation we are facing and how the feel during the period of self-isolation (your last task). I would be really happy if students from other schools joined our company and wrote to our padlet too. The link is https://padlet.com/dimipol/covid_19
Really glad to have discovered your blog. Keep up the good work!
Kind regards,
Dimitra Politou (a colleague, Senior High School of Filiro, Thessaloniki)
My life at home is not so interesting. Εvery day it is the same thing, for example, i wake up at 12 p
First of all, woke up and i clean the house. when i finish that i put on some music and dance because i love it. Some days i woke up early because i do some homework from the internet so i talk whith my teachers.
Secondly, what is important and i believe that it can help you [to do] when you are in Quarantine at is to do work out at home so you can feel good with your body and have positive psychology
So that’s all about my days at home. It is not something important and i will tell you a secret: i whant to go to school and out of the house.
