ReplyDeleteMy family and I do a lot of things during this lockdown to have fun all together.I have a brother who is almost two years old and every night to pass the time, we all go to the salon, turn on the music and dance. We have a lot of fun, especially my brother, another activity we do to not get bored is to play board games or just dance on the PlayStation and at that moment real competitions begin and whoever loses must do a penance. . Another thing we all do together lately is to watch a movie together in the evening and every day we change genres. I have a lot of fun with my family and I have excellent relationships with all of them so I will pass this lockdown to the fullest.

ReplyDeleteThanks to quarantine, I really started spending a lot of time with my family, doing a lot of things.
My brother and I have a few years of difference but, in spite this, we have managed to find some activities to do to spend time and especially boredom.
For example, we convinced our mother to buy some table and card games, and we spent every night playing all together, challenging ourselves.
We also reactivated XBOX 360 after years and finished the tombole matches. We had a good time dancing on just dance or playing sports games (such as bowling, tennis, volleyball...)

ReplyDeleteDuring this lockdown my family and I spend a lot of time together and this makes me happy because I love them and we have a very nice relationship.
We manage time by doing many things together such as watching movies, taking cooking classes online, playing board games, cleaning the house, playing with our pets
walks in the open air and practice physical activity, obviously with all precautions.
Sometimes we make video calls with our relatives, not being able to see them
We try to do always different things so as not to get bored and to overcome this bad period united.

ReplyDeleteDuring the quarantine me and my family spent a lot of time together. In our free time, for example, my brother and I trained because we couldn't go to play football, or sometimes with the whole family we made homemade pasta and agnolotti. I also often played PlayStation with my brother and with my friends. Then of course I watched many movies and many TV series to let that bad time pass. Unfortunately now we will probably have to relive that period due to this situation which is worse than that of April.

ReplyDeleteThe march/april's lockdown strengthened the relationship with my family, and I learned what it means to truly be a family.
Me and my family have fun like when i was a child, especially with my brother, who riminded me of my childhood.
During the lockdown we do a lot of things, like knead the pizza, make puff pastries and cakes and we often videocalled my grandma to don't make her feel alone.
In short, the lockdown served to love and appreciate my family.
Alessia L.During this quarantine, my mother, my sister and I came much closer than in March.
ReplyDeleteDuring the March quarantine I established a good relationship with my sister, that’s why during this quarantine, my sister and I found more things to do together.
For example we started playing wii again and doing competitions on just dance, or when we go to bed we go to watch movies or TV series on Disney that we watched when we were little.
With my mom very often we play cards, watch movies or just open up with her talking.
On Saturdays we often cook and make homemade pizza, spaghetti or gnocchi.

ReplyDeleteI find it very difficult to write this text, because I find it one of the most touching topics of recent times, we are living in a period that will go down in history ... They have closed all public places, as well as schools, and we have come to online lessons connected directly with the professors ... it is no coincidence, in fact, I am here in front of the computer writing these words. In this lookdown, as in the past one, my family and I try to defeat boredom in every way but it is very difficult for us, we no longer know what to invent. We start making sweets, table games and talking hours and hours about everything. I hope that all this can end quickly because unfortunately this unpleasant situation has taken away the happiness, energy and freedom of everyone, without exception.

ReplyDeleteDuring this period of lockdown I stay most of the time at home with my mum, when she’s not working, while my dad and my brother work all day.
During school days I wake up at 8:00 a.m., I have breakfast and I get ready for the video lessons. After Finishing the lessons, I have lunch with my brother and I sleep for two hours every day.
In the afternoon I go for a walk with my dog, Oliver.
On Saturday, for dinner, my mum cooks pizza, on Sunday she cooks homemade pasta for example the gnocchi or lasagne.
Before going to sleep, in my free freetime, my mum and I watch a movie or TV series on Netflix.

ReplyDeleteThis lock down, fortunately, is less boring than the first one that took place in March because there are more things to do like following the video lessons, studying and doing homework every day while in the first one there were only video lessons from one or two hours a day and therefore there was less material to study. The time that is not occupied by the studio I spend watching movies, exercising, listening to a lot of music and walking dog or sometimes I go out for walks in the fresh air to change my routine a bit.Late in the evening, when my mother or father comes home from work, I spend some time talking to them and we watch something on TV and we relax for a while on the sofa, before they go to sleep.

Deleteduring this block I had the opportunity to spend more time with my family. my sister and I have bonded a lot more and usually play cards, board games or train together. My parents arrive from work around 7 and we spend most of the evening talking or watching TV, then when I go to my room I make video calls with my friends. This block is not difficult to deal with because I have video lessons to follow and in the afternoon I have to study, that's why it's going by very fast except the weekend that I would like to have fun with my friends, but I help my mother to cook, clean and study for the week that arrives.

ReplyDeleteDuring this lockdown I was very sad ‘cause I couldn’t see my friend and I couldn’t go out. It has been very boring but I tried to have fun with my family I cooked, I drew, I rode the bike and I watched lots of TV series. Thanks to this quarantine I spent lots of time with my mum and I reinforced the relationship with her. I lernt to getting alone with my brother , I played and I cooked with him everyday, while my father was shortly home because he worked for delivering medical devices.
We also have been very busy because my dogs had 9 puppies, we had to take care of them for 5 months. It was a beautiful experience but very hard.

ReplyDeleteIn this lockdown I am getting bored. I wake up every day at 8 to take lessons, I wash myself, I have breakfast and I start the video lessons. After school I eat lunch and I watch TV and I often fall asleep. As soon as I wake up I do my homework and study for the lessons. In this period to pass the time I exercise and spend a lot of time on the phone with my friends I can't wait to be able to go out, I feel I will go crazy soon. to people without fear and being able to be without a mask.

ReplyDeleteIn the March lockdown that lasted until May at first it was an incredible total boredom,but later I decided to go under with my workouts in the gym made by buying a bench,dumbbells and barbell.I worked out six times a week,two hours for training.It was a routine that went on for months,remote lessons in the morning and training in the afternoon.For me and my girlfriend they have been difficult months,just as I thought it was difficult to live every hour of the day with mum instead everything went for the best.

ReplyDeleteI don't spend much time in solitary lockdown with my family because they work and my brother goes to school so I spend time alone at home. I am alone from early morning until 4 when my brother arrives and then my parents arrive around 6 pm. when i'm just studying or watching tv series i read books, i play the piano. as soon as my brother arrives, I stay with him for a while and play cards or play stations. I spend time with my parents on weekends. On Saturday we make pizza all together and we make it with different tastes and shapes, and then we watch a movie on Sky or on Netflix. And on Sunday mornings I play sports with my mother. The short time I spend with my parents makes me happy.

ReplyDeleteDuring the quarantine I didn't do many activities with my family. This rarely happened, during lunch or dinner or rarely when we watched TV all together. In this period I watched many TV series, cooked and ate a lot but above all I spent a lot of time and played with my two cats. Having animals helped me a lot because they kept me a lot of company and distracted me from bad thoughts born in the quarantine. I also often cleaned the house and especially my room but it helped me to see things in a positive way.

ReplyDeleteDuring this second lockdown, I haven't spent a lot of time with my family,because my mother and my sister always going to work. Well, at the evening and at the weeked, we had fun and we ate a lot of particular things. Usually, I like the atmosphere in my house, but I prefer to ride my bike, outside.
