The covid-19 epidemic broke out in the year 2020.At that time, I was facing my A/L examination with many barriers because of this epidemic situation.After facing my exam,I went back to my favorite hobby ; reading sinhala novels.I really enjoy reading novels and it gives me a great pleasure.I borrowed novels from the library which is situated near to my home.Through my hobby,I gained the knowledge about how to live in the society with people wearing different masks.My favorite author is Imesha Madhawi Mallawarachchi.Reading novels is  the only medicine that recover my mind.

I would like to say how I spent my time during the pandemic.
The pandemic started in 2020 in Sri Lanka. Those days I was studying for my a/l s. I started to go to online classes in the first time and did self  studies.
After my a/l s I improved my English knowledge, technical knowledge and cooking ability.
I will be able to spent lots of time with my parents and I went to my cousin sister's home. She lives in near to my house. I had a lot of time to spent with her in those days. We watched a lot of dramas together.
Not only that but also I have a pet. She is a cat. I played with her and she cuddled with me.

When the Covid - 19 pandemic starting, I was studying for my A/L examination. Because of the sudden pandemic my studies and the classes got interrupted. Because of that we had to use online methods to study that we hadn't use before. Like 'Zoom' application. At first place, I am so grateful for my parents and the teachers for facilitating me to helping me for my studies to keep going. I should not forget about the contribution of medical officers, doctors and army for handling this tough situation bravely. At the meantime, I founded a business opportunity. It was to do the typing and designing to make tutes for teachers. I am so grateful for my brother to helping me out in that case. And again I am so grateful for my parents for encouraging me even though I was preparing for A/L s. Now me and my brother improved that idea to a online typing and designing institution. And we were able to make around 250k until now. We are looking to give a good service for our customers for valuable price at good quality in this challenging time. We are so happy to help the people that who need our service during the travel restrictions and lockdowns.
Thank You!

In 2020, we started our new year with lot of expectations and goals. But unexpected thing happened. New virus variant called "Covid - 19" spreaded all over the world. During this pandemic situation we have faced a lot of difficulties such as financial, mental and physical health. After facing many covid waves we passed nearly two years. But still we are struggling to recover from pandemic situation. In this pandemic situation, I am truly grateful for two things. First one is my family and other one is technology. In this present competitive world, we are always running to achieve our goals. Therefore we can not spend a lot of time with our family members. Due to this pandemic we were able to spend more time with our family members. When lockdowns and travel restrictions were lifting technology played a big role to maintain communication, education and many services.

During the pandemic period there is quarantine because Covid 19 spread everywhere hugely.
Therefore my whole family is in the home. I grateful for it because I had a chance to spend more time with my family. Not only that I got a chance to improve my other skills other than studying everyday.
I learnt to make different foods. I grow plants such as flowers, vegetables. In addition, I made new hobbies. Such as, listening music, learning new languages, watching movies as well as reading books.
Furthermore I spend many time with my pets. Before the pandemic I haven't time for that due to the busy schedule.
I started online education. It is not better than physical learning. But it is good in different ways.
There are many difficulties during the pandemic period but I tried in my best to make these difficulties easy. Because of that I grateful for during the pandemic.

i am Kalpani Malsha ,undergraduate student of university of colombo. talking about this pandemic situation it's affected me differenterly. Actually there are some advantages and disadvantages. At first if i am talking about advantages. Due to pandemic situations i can able to stay at my home and i can able to do my study at home through the online , i can able to spend more time with family but there are some big cons in that case , because as an university student i have to face so many difficulties.if i describe it further more , i can't able to go university physically and can't able to associate with university friends , can't able to join phisycal extra university activity and when i do study in online i have to face some technical issues due to powercut programme. As a conclusion i don't prefer this situations. Rightnow All the people in our country faced so many economic and social crisess . The Government should be given fast solutions to people and they should be taken responsiblity for what they have done past .

This pandemic was very hard for all of us. But there were many things that we can appreciate during the pandemic. I had the chance to escape from my busy lifestyle and spent more time with my loved ones. I had the opportunity to do my studies online and my technical knowledge also improved during this period. I focused more on good health habits. I started working on my home garden and learned more things through it. I also started exercising to maintain my health. I was also able to devote more time to my education.

It was a very challenging time to whole world. But however I got a chance to spend more time with my family and also I did so many activities on that period. I had the opportunity to refresh my childhood memories with my parents and sisters. In addition to that i did my studies online so I got more free time. In that time I read many books, watched movies, tv series and also I helped to Amma’s gardening. And I tried and practiced to cook some dishes with help of my mother and elder sister. In addition to that mainly I got a chance to realize who I am and what I have done in the past years.

The COVID-19 pandemic began in 2020 in China. Although many people have died from the pandemic, however  there is a positive side of the epidemic. During this sudden holiday I did my studies through online. Due to the  lockdown  of the country we had time to enjoy with our  family members . At that time I started gardening with my family members and planted many vegetable and flower plants. In the morning I watered them. Not only that I played many games with my brother and helped his school works. In addition to that I did drawings and read many books .

During this pandemic,there were isolated and lockdown some areas of our country. Sometimes it was particular areas and sometimes it was whole country. In this period,most of people stayed at home. It given an opportunity also me to live together with my family members. Because, due to this busy lifestyle,we couldn't stay with them together. So this pandemic period allowed time to do it. As well as,the another good thing which I did in this period is gardening. I germinated some vegetables,fruits and varaity of flower plants in my garden. Now I am obtaining harvest from that cultivation and it causes to make me happy now. Not only that,I made some beautiful creations and those are affected to improve my creativeness. In addition to that,I learnt to cook some dishes from my mother and watching youtube videos. So I think I was able to identify my abilities and improve them within this period. So I can say that,I spent this pandemic period effectively.

I know 2020 is an extremely difficult year for all of us across the world. Normally we focus on the negative, but fortunately, there were glimpses of positivity during the pandemic. The lockdown has helped many of us appreciate the privilege of family and the value of good friends. I am truly grateful to my family and friends for being with me through all my ups and downs. And I can continue to stay in digital contact with my friends. I am grateful to have had more time to connect with nature. Nature and everyone around the world is enjoying the break from pollution during this pandemic. I learned to enjoy my own company.

Because of our tight schedules, we didn't had much time to gather with our family. But during the pandemic period, we had a chance to talk and enjoy our life with our family. Of course, there were some limited things to do with them because most of the time we cannot go outside. Also, we had a chance to do our office work from home, therefore, we could save our time.

There are many pros and cons regarding the pandemic.
When it comes to the daytoday activities of the people, most of the office related works are reduced by people and stood in their home with the family members. So the love and affection among family members increased. The bond between parents and children strengthened due to this.
