This year, 2020, was definitely a year with major events happening in this world.

Before Covid, I used to simply wake up, get ready, go to school, do homework, eat, sleep and repeat. I went out with friends sometimes, and went to many fun places with my parents on the weekends. I also traveled to Ukraine in the summers, and sometimes to Eilat and Dead Sea during autumn. Now I wake up, get ready, either open my phone/laptop and join lessons and then study and do assignments. It's really sad we can't go out anymore, and we always have to wear masks and keep our distance. Many people lost their jobs due to covid, and were either left homeless or getting jobs online.

On the flip side though... lockdowns all around the world have given an opportunity for people to start finding out their passions, their true goals in life. For example, I found out my fashion and music sense, and I also found out what I love doing the most. For others, they might have redecorated their rooms or homes, some might have lost weight or gained it, got into working out, learned to cook, for even learned how to use the internet properly and work without stepping out of the house.  Another thing, the pandemic has made people more hygienic and more careful of their surroundings, by washing their hands more often and trying to be more healthy.

This seemingly post-apocalyptic, devastating year is finally over, and meanwhile covid is not gone and the pandemic is ongoing, this year taught us something about appreciating every moment you have, and being overall a more hygienic person. I hope 2021 will be a good year for all of us, and for the pandemic to ease and calm down in the second half (-June) and we will all return to more normal lives, however for now, we will live in the present and focus on ourselves for now.

2020 for sure was one of the most difficult years in history, alot of bad things happened in it, it helped with alot of things.

Before Covid everything was normal, you wake up, get ready, go to school, come back from school, do your homework, going out with your friends, going to sleep and repeat.
Now its diffrent, you wake up, open your computer, waiting for the teacher to send the link and when you're done you're going to sleep because you cant go out.
Its really depressing because i used to go out every day, and when you're not allowed to see your friends it's hard because this situation is hard anyways and now you can't go out either.
On the other hand you get to spend more time with your family and I can say I'm way closer to my family then I've been before.
The distance learning is harder then the actual school but I can manage to learn even though my grades went down but I can get why.
It's hard to get used to the new reality but we are in this together, I'm sure we will get through this and everything is going to be fine.

2020 was a good year (even though a lot of bad things happened).  It was a year full of ups and downs.

During the lockdown I did a lot of things, for example: spending time with family, drawing, do it your self-projects and more. My biggest fear was that I would lose my mind because I was home most of the time and didn’t talk with other people in person.

Distant learning was also hard because I couldn't concentrate and had a hard time waking up in the morning.

Overall, 2020 was not a bad year for me and I am glad that it finally past.

For me , 2020 was full of good memories (despite the bad ones) , full of opportunities for self – investment , learning , spending time with family and finally learn to appreciate more because everything can end in one moment .

Thanks 2020! , for showing me that sometimes it's okay that not everything goes as the way we want , that there are things that we can't change and , sometimes just accept everything as it is and move on – the best solution .

I think that this year was a great opportunity to lose weight , gain weight learn , read books and be better day by day .

2020 , over all , you were not that bad for me and I'm glad I've finally passed you !

In the year 2020 a lot of bad things happened, but the worst thing was the Coronavirus. The virus spread all over the world and caused death, and a lot of damage to everyone.

Before the Coronavirus, we used to go to school everyday and meet our friends.

Now, we can't go to school anymore, because we are learning remotely and can't go outside.

Me and my friends used to hangout and go to restaurants all the time. Now, we spend our time together on discord and play video games all day because there is nothing else to do.

In conclusion it has been a very difficult time, due to the reasons above. On the other hand, it brought many advantages to my life and helped me to evolve as a person.

2020. This year will remain in the future history books. Everything changed. From the way we study to how we hang out with our friends. Let me take you on a journey from the beginning of the pandemic to where we are now.

In March, we heard about a deadly virus in China. We thought it was nothing serious, until it got to Israel. When it got here, we started our first lockdown.

During the lockdown, we were learning through “Zoom” and I couldn’t meet my friends and family. At least I got to learn some new hobbies, such as drawing and filming.

In conclusion, living in 2020 was pretty hard, but I learned a lot of new things and hobbies. The only bad thing about it was staying at home all of the time.

The time of Corona
2020 was a challenging year.Our lives changed within 3 months. I don’t think that  anyone would want to remember this year.However, there are some memories that everyone wants to keep.

Before Corona  people worked, we went to school, we didn’t wear masks and the economy was good . We took everything for granted,but it doesn’t work like this. The Corona came and everything was locked down.

The first and the second lockdowns didn’t disturb me and I even enjoyed them. During the lockdowns ,we were staying at home instead of going to school.I spent time with my family. I learned to bake cookies and cakes!However,the third lockdown was already too much for me.I couldn’t focus on Zoom lessons anymore. I miss my friends because I didn’t see them for more than 2 months.

In conclusion,I hope that 2021 will be better than 2020 and everything will come back like it was before the Corona.

2020 was hard for all of us. everything from the US-Iran conflict to Covid-19. I Didn't enjoy 2020, although I have made some friends, picked up new hobbies I would not want to remember this year, for all the tragedy and chaos that happened this year. This year was a bad year. Most fun I had this year was on new years eve where me and my family gathered round and we celebrated the most we can out of this year. We all hope 2021 will be a lot better, Wish everyone a happy new year

2020 was a difficult year for everyone, but I liked it, because you don't need to get hung up on problems, but look for charms in the little things. And I was in Belovusi. it was fun there. I also had fun in Israel. And I learned Hebrew a little better, although I still can't understand Hebrew properly and it's difficult for me to study. Quarantine was also difficult for everyone, but for me it was not. I've had a lot of quarantine. Although it's hard for me to learn in zoom ... But I try. I celebrated the New Year wonderfully and I had a lot of fun. First we celebrated it with my family, and then with a friend. But still, I hope 2021 is better and COVID-19 ends. Arseny Firsov

2020 was a hard year. no one wanted to remember her, but she is over and she Is the past, so what are we remember ?

Before the corona everything was normal. People go to work, students go to school, we don't wear masks and we don't learn from home!

Before the corona I was so busy, I had a lot of things suffixe to do.

I was in a singing band, we started rehearsing for a special musical that never came up, We learned a lot of new songs and dances that we will not be performing with any time soon. I liked so much to be in this group with all the people I like performing with so sad that we had not met for over a year.

In conclusion, I just wait for this moment that the Corona virus will disappear from the world and from the people so we can return to our normal lives.

orona. 

Before the corona we went to school we no masks on our face and we met the friends and the teachers.
When the corona started we didn't believe its that disease is so dangerous.
We thought its going to end very soon.
But than the government decided to do lockdown. 

The first and the second lockdowns were not that bad and it was actually fun, I was a lot of time with my sister at home and it was really easy to stay at home instead the school.  
The third lockdown was just too much, we didn't go to school for like 2 month, its getting harder to be focused on the lessons.

I hope we are going to back to school very soon because I am tired of being home so much time.

At the beginning of the 2020 year we lived our simple lives, no one knew how difficult and challenging will be this year. I didn’t know and understand before corona pandemic how hard it’s can be.

In March, when  the pandemic started i was in Russia, all people were scared about this situation, all shops were empty, there was no one on the streets. It seemed like apocalypse.

My life during the corona pandemic has changed dramatically. I started to worked more with computer at my home, because we faced with distant learning. I understood that I should be very responsible towards yourself and others, so I began to take all precautions. I also began to think how i can change my life during pandemic for the better way.

Corona pandemic not over yet, but now in my opinion it is easier for us. Now I can see how I, my life and my mind have changed. This year was hard for me and for all of us. I experienced many different feelings, it’s related with being at home during lockdowns, but if you have familiar people nearby, you can survive this period. The year 2020 will forever be synonymous with coronavirus.

Everyone in the world today is aware of something called "corona", the tantalizing plague that has caused our entire lives to stop

Before the Corona our lives were quite different, and even very, the most basic things changed
Going to school is no longer the same, we used to go without masks and without keeping distance, today there are those who are afraid to come to school because it puts them in danger of death
Once we could go out with friends to a restaurant or a movie theater or a mall or just go out to some park, today most places are closed
Most hobbies and classes can no longer be realized given the fact that it is impossible to congregate or be as we were our previous reality

My conclusion from recent times is simply that one should enjoy life as long as possible, it is impossible to know when the next closure will be or when we will have to go into isolation or when a farm in Corona

It was hard to get used to the new reality, all of a sudden our whole life has changed, but it is a once in a lifetime experience

2020 was a rough year for everybody, we had a global pandemic, 3 lockdowns, race war in the us and many more bad things.

But to me it wasn’t that bad, I got to wake up later and didn’t have to go to school, I got to play more video games and stay up later, I got to watch more movies and tv shows and I didn’t have to leave my house.

And don’t forget about our cats and dogs who probably had the best year of their lives always being near the people they love and trust.

Over all 2020 was a once in a life time experience but I don’t think that it was a good year because so many people died, lost their jobs and not so many video games came out.

The year 2020 is over, this year was hard on all of us, but there are memories that we don’t want to forget. What was the thing that you will never forget?

Before the Corona it was regular year, all the people was worked, I walked to school, the students go to school without wearing a mask, know this things are impossible We have to wear a mask, and we don't go to school we stay at home and learning on Zoom.

During 2020 was very hard. This was the first time that  Israel and the whole world went into an emergency situation, it was Stressful but I know that I need  to continue and don’t stop. At first it was hard to get used to the situation ,but over time, I realized that you have to give more effort and everything will work.

I'm finishing 2020 and I'm proud of myself and everything I've given this year. I hope that 2021 will be better than 2020. And wish everyone good luck in the new year.

If you are alive in 2020 and you are not an animal or robot then you probably all know about this thing called corona.

Before corona we didn’t social distant, wore masks, we meet up with friends and family, we went to party and to events and the cinema. But when corona started all of that needed to change so we all could still be alive.

There were some stressful stuff like you can have corona without knowing it and it can transfer it to someone which might kill them, also some hard things like not seeing your family for a long period of time, not doing the things you like, like going out with friends, going to any other place that you love.

In conclusion, it was the worst year for me because I didn’t saw my family and friends for a long time, I didn’t get to enjoy the things I love to do and a lot

People died.

2020 was very interesting year for everyone, our lives changed within 3 months.

Before quarantine we studied in school, but at this point the corona started, so we studied at home.

Learning at home in Zoom is very difficult, you must understand the material and take the tests in Zoom.

In quarantine we had to stay home, and I could not meet my friends at that time.

But we talked on the phones to each other on FaceTime.

Before Corona I was kind of a quiet person.

But after the quarantine I changed my personality for the better.

For example: I started to be more open to people, and now I understand that in our world if you want to be in some company first of all show people who you are and do not be afraid of it at all!  Because if you continue to be closed to people you will have a very hard time integrating into any company.

Just think about it.

In conclusion maybe the corona isn’t as bad as I thought.

I understood a lot of important things about me and I don’t think this year is a meaningless year for me.

The corona is not a easy thing to survive but with the help of hospitals people do so.
The first lockdown wasn’t the worst thing of all even though it was hard all the other lockdowns didn’t made any sense.
So we were locked down by the government , there were still busses going and there were stores that were active and didn’t close but here is not the problem , there were people that didn’t gave any attention to the rules never used masks and literally didn’t help anybody.

At quarantine we had to stay at home and learn threw zoom which was for me harder than regular school and I really hated it but now I’m ok with it .

There were lots of stressing stuff at the quarantine and after it because it was a very hard time for some people but I had to get over the feeling of outside.

In conclusion
Corona and lockdown changed the lives of all of us and it will be annoying for some time but I hope it will end soon enough

During 2020, before the Corona, I was more able to go outside and have fun with my family, friends and more. During the quarantines the lives of many people changed meaningfully, but mine have not so much. During this time at home, I could do the things I love to do and not worry about the situation. Seldom I wore a mask but I kept hygiene. I was able to do a lot of things in these quarantines, I have fun with my family at home and outside and also Engage in hobbies.
The downside to quarantine is distance learning. Although it's nice not to go to school, distance learning gives a lot of tasks, more than school. After a while, distance learning becomes tiring and there is no desire to complete tasks and listen in class.
What I enjoyed most this year was that I had more time to engage in what I love to do.

The corona started before a few month ago, since corona the world has changed.
We were at 3 lockdowns because of the corona.

Before the corona we went to school we no masks on our face and we met the friends and the teachers.
When the corona started we didn't believe its that disease is so dangerous.
We thought its going to end very soon.
But than the government decided to do lockdown.

The first and the second lockdowns were not that bad and it was actually fun, I was a lot of time with my sister at home and it was really easy to stay at home instead the school.
The third lockdown was just too much, we didn't go to school for like 2 month, its getting harder to be focused on the lessons.

I hope we are going to back to school very soon because I am tired of being home so much time.

before the pandemic, we lived normal lives.  We didn't wear masks, we didn't study from home.  We lived as people lived 10 years ago and 100 years ago.  But in December 2019, Covid appeared in China.  We went into quarantine on March 13, 2020. In the beginning it was very unusual and not convenient, but now we are already used to it and it is more comfortable for us to study at home.  It is not yet known when we will be able to walk without masks and live a normal life.  But we are all waiting for this!

First lockdown, was very happy actually, did many things and had tones of time to do what I want. Even when I had to join zoom classes, I have still played many games with many friends, watched many videos and did things while I'm in a middle of the lesson. That was pretty unsmart.

Second lockdown, I knew I had to study more and listen to the teachers in the online classes, But no, I couldn't, and it's not because I  didn't want, it's because I found out I can't. I'm not focused and I have not enough Concentration to study new things.

Third lockdown, I want to go back to school, seriously, I just can't take it anymore. I need to study from school or everything I've learnt from last year is going to the dump. I'm trying to study and learn by myself but I can't, as I said before, I can't focus and have enough Concentration to do it.

I was feeling pretty bad for myself, I knew that If none of that has happened, I wouldn't need to catch up with the new topics we learnt in Math, Physics, Biology and Chemistry.
