ReplyDeleteMy days are very similar to each other, in the morning I wake up to have breakfast and to prepare for the video lessons, while on the weekend I can wake up a little later. For lunch and dinner we are only three as my sisters no longer live with us and we haven't seen each other for several months. In the afternoon I do my homeworks, so that in the evening I can watch a movie or continue the Prison Break series that I have just started.
The part of the day that I prefer is the evening when my family and I make the video call and we can see each other even if in a different way.

ReplyDeleteOur days are quite the same. My sister and I get up early in the morning, have breakfast and then connect with the school for video lessons. In the afternoon we watch TV series or do homework, sometimes we do gymnastic. My parents go to work all week and in the evening we watch a movie all together, but sometimes only with my mon if dad doesn't come back. On the weekend we got up later, we have lunch and in the afternoon, sometimes, my sister and I cook some dessert or something to eat for dinner and then we connect with the family.

ReplyDeleteDuring the quarantine I wake up at 8.45 am, have breakfast and follow the video lessons I have during the day.
Then have lunch and for an hour I relax on social media and listen to music.
Then I train, help my parents, prepare some recipes and do all the homework I have to do.
The positive thing that has given me this period is when we put on the music and we all sing and dance; this moment gives a few minutes of lightheartedness in this bad period.
In the evening, after having dinner, I watch a good movie.

ReplyDeleteMy days are very similar to each other. In the morning I get up early, have breakfast and prepare for video lessons, while on the weekend I can wake up a little later. For lunch, we always wait for my mom to come home from work so that we can all eat together. In the afternoon I usually do my homework or study, sometimes I do gymnastics, or play cards with my family. The evening is the moment of the day that I prefer most because I make video calls with my grandparents and so we can see each other anyway.
I hope that we return to normal soon and to see again soon our loved ones!

ReplyDeleteThis period of lockdown drastically changed my and my family's routine. Everyday I have lunch alone because my mother work and the only moment that we're together is the evening when we have dinner and when we sit on the sofa to watch the tv. In the morning I wake up early to follow the lessons of the day and then, if I still have time, I keep watching a TV series. During the afternoon I have a lot of free time. To start, I do my homework, then I put my room in order and I do some household chores and at the end I go out on the veranda to sunbathe. Sometimes I do physical activity. I think that, even if this period is very boring, it is protecting us to the virus.

ReplyDeleteDuring this difficult period my family and I have to changed a lot our routines.
Every morning I woke up early, I have breakfast and I take part in my online lessons but fortunately I can sleep more at the weekend.
I usually have lunch at 13 o'clock and in the afternoon I do more or less always the same things: I do my homework, I play with my sister and I watch tv series.
My mather instead works every day so I often prepare lunch for me and my sister, but in the evening we are alway all three together.

During my days, I wake up almost every day at 8:30 am because I have lessons at 9:00 am, I teach all morning, I have lunch and I take a few hours of rest. In the afternoon, I do my homework or study and when I'm done
I usually do cakes or physical exercises, sometimes it happens to help my sister with homework or my mom with the housework. I spend the evening with my family watching movies, talking or playing board games.

Sometimes me and my sister after the lesson prepare lunch and do some house chores. In the afternoon I do my homeworks, study and play with my dog. In the afternoon I watch films with my family or do videocalls with my friends, I miss them very much.
I can't wait to go out again with my friends and get some fresh air.

ReplyDeleteDuring this situation I'm trying to spend more time with my family, instead of staying in my bedroom with my mobile phone or with my laptop. I’m having really good time with them, ad our relationship is consolidating. Unfortunately my mother has to go to work, so I during the day I stay with my father. We do different things like playing cards, or watching films together every evening, we are writing down all the films we are watching and then we give them a mark. When my mother is at home I’m cooking with her, for example today we did the icecream

ReplyDeleteIn my family’s routine the days are similar to each other.
During the week I wake up early for the video lessons, then I have lunch and I do my homework. At 6.00 pm I do workout to relax me, then I have a shower and dinner too. In the evening I play board games with my family or I play video games with my friends online. Later, before sleeping, I watch tv series. My mom always cooks, my dad does some chores for the home and my two brothers help him. My sister feels better than everyone: she’s in quarantine in Tenerife!

ReplyDeletemy days are all the same, both for me and my family, except for my father, he is in Latvia on a military mission, so his days are quite different :). I get up in the morning, I give lessons online, now I appreciate them much more since they keep me busy. only lunch and dinner we are all together, during the day everyone stays in their own room, so as not to go crazy ... once I was a sportsman, now the desire to run has passed, I stay in bed all day watching netflix (even if there's nothing to watch) and hope that this quarantine will end.

ReplyDeleteDuring this time we have all changed our lifestyle habits. Every day I try to do and learn new things in a completely new situation.
During the week I don't get up late because we have videolessons.
In the afternoon I do my homework and in the evening I watch tv series or I play video games with my friends.
During the weekend I do small works in the garden such as cutting the grass. I also discovered that I like
to cook. During this day I tried to cook different cake and biscuits.
I hope to back to my real life soon, for playing football with my team and going holiday with my friends.

ReplyDeleteDuring this quarantine, unfortunately, I can’t do many things.
I spend these days playing with my family, taking care of my dog and making some cake.
Luckily I have a sister, so I'm always in company. In the afternoon, after lessons, I do my homework and some physical activity with my sister.
I have watched many tv series and many movies on netflix and I have read some books. I've always enjoyed reading, but I've never had much time because I was busy with school. In this quarantine I read two novels by Jamie McGuire and "pride and prejudice" by Jane Austen.

ReplyDeleteSince 9 March, I have been closed at home with my family.
My days, compared to a few months ago, have changed a lot.
During the week, I wake up early and get ready to do the video lessons and I no longer have the serious concern of losing the bus.
The rest of the day is spent with my family, with whom I do many jobs at home; to play the harp; to do my homework and look after my horse which I am lucky enough to be able to visit.
Instead, I spend the evening watching funny movies with the family or playing with them.
This period has distanced me a lot from my friends whom I have the opportunity to see only in video calls, but despite everything I try to have fun and not be bored, hoping that everything will end very soon.

ReplyDeleteI’m spending this period of quarantine with my mom, it’s me and her at home for almost two months, while my brother just before the quarantine began went to live alone. I'm spending this period with positivity, trying to enjoy this period to be with my mom. During these days, in the morning I get up around 8:30, to attend all the online lessons of the day (while on the weekend I sleep a little more)
After lunch I do my homework for the following days and study for a couple of hours. After, I start my workout, when the weather is fine I do it in my garden. When I’m bored I try to do constructive things, I am following an acting course, I follow videos to strengthen the use of languages, I read many books, I listen to music. After dinner I usually watch Netflix.
