範文一:
Since the end of 2019, COVID-19 has changed many aspects of our lives, including the way we work, eat, and learn. My school, like many others, had to adopt online teaching when the alert level was raised to three. To be honest, I found it stressful to learn this way. One of the biggest challenges was to focus on the screen for long periods of time because I got easily distracted by social media sites. Moreover, I felt lonely because I could barely interact with my classmates and teachers face to face. This sense of isolation often bored me to tears.
To deal with the challenges of online learning, I blocked all social media sites to concentrate on my lessons. I made it a rule to only browse other websites during break time after completing a 50-minute class. As for relieving the sense of boredom and isolation, I usually played online games with my friends for an hour before I went to bed. Little by little, I became used to a life of online learning, even though I still missed being in the classroom.
範文二:
COVID-19 has impacted almost every sector of the economy, as well as the way people conduct their daily lives. When the pandemic was at its peak, many countries around the world responded by imposing partial lockdowns or placing restrictions on traveling. In Taiwan, the government implemented soft lockdown measures by closing leisure and entertainment venues, such as bars, gyms, and movie theaters. Taiwan also banned eating at restaurants and convenience stores during the Level-3 alert period. They asked all citizens to wear face masks and practice social distancing when out in public. During this period, I rarely ventured outside and began using food delivery services when I needed to eat.
I felt tired of eating delivery food because it lacked variety, and the food all seemed to taste the same. I began to take an interest in cooking after I watched a cooking show on YouTube. By reading my mother’s cookbooks and practicing in the kitchen, my new skills progressed by leaps and bounds. I often shared the photos of the dishes I made with friends on social media platforms. If this pandemic ever ends, I think I’ll keep learning new cooking skills so I can become a chef in the future.
