How I spent lockdown

2020 what to write about this year, millions of people got infected and many died, for it was the rise of Coronavirus, one of the worst viruses ever. In this whole year, people were so scared and they stayed in their houses But this time was good as well. People got to stay with their families. Many famous people also got Covid like the president of the UK, Boris Johnson, Amitabh Bachchan, and Abhishek Bachchan. People were terrified of Covid back then. But now people aren’t as scared as they were before because the Covid vaccine is released.

Like all the people, I spent 2020 at home only. At the start of 2020,I was going to school as usual, and at that time I was in 3 grade, it was online on Microsoft teams. Before I wasn’t comfortable

I started my 4th grade with distance learning, but after a few months till now, I am comfortable with it because it has been a long time since it started.

In this period only, one day, my friend told me if I could join his Zoom meeting and I agreed with him. I learned to install few apps from him and he even has his own YouTube channel where he puts stuff like that. I used to play with him most of the time. Then I introduced him to my best friend who is in my class. I liked playing with both of them. I made lots of friends through the digital platform, which means I got friends whom I didn’t know before and I got to meet them online. I also got to learn about many software programs and websites like scratch, where you could make games, Thunkable,where you could make apps, make beliefs comix where I made some games, an app, and few interesting comics. I participated in the fun-filled and knowledgeableADNOC Summer Camp and learned about different things that are useful in day-to-day life as well as in studies. It was very interesting.

Coincidentally this year my grandparents also visited me and that was the best part. I had a great time with them and I loved it. I taught them how to play some board games and about mobile apps also to some extent. Because of Covid 19, all the flights were closed and my grandparents stayed with me in Abu Dhabi for 4 months instead of planned 1 month as they were on a short visit. That was a treasured moment for me.

Then my school started again. We had a lot of new interesting lessons and our teachers worked very hard for us. After school many times I used to call my friend and chat with him. We even created a group in which we would randomly chat on random topics. We had a group on Zoom and Whatsapp. We learned many things from each other. It was a lot of fun playing and chatting with them.

Then after a few months came July and my birthday. In that I invited some of my friends and the ones I couldn’t invite, I called them in a Zoom meeting. It included some of my family members and my friends. All my classmates had sent their birthday wishes to me in the form of a video and my relatives also wished me in the same way. That was a big surprise for me.

In July we had our summer holidays and we always go to India to meet our family and friends. But not in 2020. We had to stay in Abu Dhabi only. I missed my India tour badly. So after the summer holidays, our school started again. It was so much fun to learn about new things and gain knowledge.

Then a few months later there was a big surprise for everyone: the Covad vaccine was finally found which gave a big sigh of relief to the world. Even though the Covid vaccine is released, we shouldn’t underestimate it and should still take necessary precautions to be safe.

Now let’s talk about a few precautions we need to take care of to be safe from Corona:

⮚ We should always wear a mask and gloves while going outside.

⮚ We shouldn’t go to crowded places.

⮚ We should maintain social distancing of at least 2 meters.

⮚ Whenever we come from outside, we should always wash our hands for a minimm of 20seconds.

⮚ If we want to be safe, then we shouldn’t go outside at all unless it’s very important.

So this was all about Covid-19 and how I spent lockdown last year. It was a fun year but it was so much troubling as well. It is a year that we shouldn’t remember any time and I am sure that people in the future will understand how

painful this year was.
