5. Hello to you all!
I am so happy because guess what? ….I am back at school. Yes, I know what you are thinking, but well…….I’m pleased to see
all my friends…even though it´s on line because of the coronavirus! I was happy this morning to start a new school year.
Let me start from the beginning. My name is Alison and I’m 12 years old and my brother John
is 15. I also have a younger brother, Steve, who is 8 years old. My mother, Sara, is 46. She
is a doctor. My father, Michael, is 47, he is a chef in a restaurant. They are very nice,
funny, but they sometimes get angry when we do stupid things.
Since March, we are stressed because we can’t go back to school because of the coronavirus.
My father lost his job because the restaurant closed. My mom became our hero because she helped care for people infected
with the coronavirus. When our teachers told us that we would not have classes, we all jumped for joy, but we never though
it was going to be that long. We were sad because we couldn’t see our friends and teachers, but our parents told us it was fo
our safety. During this pandemic, we have learned things. I learned to cook. I also learned to play with my brothers; we
created different games to entertain ourselves. I enjoyed watching series on TV and reading books. We learned to be more
collaborative at home, and the most important thing was learning to enjoy family time.
This is a new school year where will continue taking online classes, but we are happy because thank
God we are healthy. I hope to return to school to spend time with my friends and teachers face-to-face
very soon.
Well, I hope it will be a good year for me and for you too!
6. • BIENVENIDO DE NUEVO AL COLEGIO
Hola a todos!
Estoy tan feliz porque ¿adivina qué? ... Estoy de vuelta en la escuela. Sí, sé lo que estás pensando,
pero bueno ... estoy contento de ver a todos mis amigos ... ¡aunque esté en línea por el
coronavirus! Esta mañana estaba feliz de comenzar un nuevo año escolar.
Déjame empezar desde el principio. Mi nombre es Alison y tengo 12 años y mi hermano John tiene 15. También tengo un
hermano menor, Steve, que tiene 8 años. Mi madre, Sara, tiene 46 años. Ella es doctora. Mi padre, Michael, tiene 47 años, es chef
en un restaurante. Son muy agradables, divertidos, pero a veces se enojan cuando hacemos cosas tontas.
Desde marzo, estamos estresados porque no podemos volver a la escuela debido al coronavirus. Mi papá perdió su trabajo porque
el restaurante cerró. Mi mamá se convirtió en nuestra heroína porque ayudó a cuidar a las personas infectadas con el coronavirus.
Cuando nuestros maestros nos dijeron que no tendríamos clases, todos saltamos de alegría, pero nunca pensamos que iba a ser
tanto tiempo. Estábamos tristes porque no podíamos ver a nuestros amigos y maestros, pero nuestros padres nos dijeron que era
por nuestra seguridad. Durante esta pandemia, hemos aprendido cosas. Aprendí a cocinar. También aprendí a jugar con mis
hermanos; Creamos diferentes juegos para entretenernos. Disfruté viendo series en la televisión y leyendo libros. Aprendimos a
ser más colaborativos en casa, y lo más importante fue aprender a disfrutar el tiempo en familia.
Este es un nuevo año escolar donde continuaremos tomando clases en línea, pero estamos contentos porque gracias a Dios
estamos sanos . Espero volver a la escuela para pasar tiempo con mis amigos y maestros cara a cara muy pronto.
Bueno, ¡espero que sea un buen año para mí y para ti también!
