I think that this period is very difficult for everyone and we all feel tired of doing videolessons and having to endure these days, we would just like to return to normal. I personally don’t play sports or don’t have a particular hobby often I don’t find anything to do but I try to go out for what we can, fortunately the Christmas holidays are coming where we could take a break from school.

In this period I'm quite happy because Cristhmas is coming but also we have to stay at home for our safely, and I can't visit my parent's in Bosnia and also my sister. We are still doing video-lessons and I hate them because you can't learn good somethings on a computer and i can't also see my classmates. It's also hard this period because I have to study a lot but soon there are holidays.
Usually in the evening I take a ride on my scooter with my friend and it's wonderful ride in the city illuminated by Christmas lights.
I am happy for the winter coming because I like when it's cold outside and I love the snow.
I hope to have a nice Christmas despite this complicated situation

I think a lot of people in this period are sad and I am one of them. Until the first lock down I   really loved being at home, but after that period I can't stay home for long time,and in this period we have to stay at home a lot.The other thing that makes me sad is  that, i can 't play basketball.the basketball trainig was the only time when i can use all my energy ,and now that i can't do it i found myself full of energy before going to bed ,and this make me impossible falling a sleep.

My life in this period is a mix of happiness and sadness.
I'm sad because I don't like video lessons at all and I can't do everything I want.
But I'm happy because Christmas is coming and I love it. I really like snow and presents, but also food.
Also in a few days I will go to buy my new motorcycle and I am very happy for that.
In this period I am having a lot of fun helping my mother to cook and choosing christmas presents for friends and relatives.

Personally I am very well in this period. I'm one of the few people who likes to be at home on video lessons, even if I actually miss my friends. The only thing that makes me up is Christmas and I can't wait to spend all day watching Christmas movies in my pajamas and eating popcoarn.              See you soon                 Linda

In my opinion this is a very stressfull period  because of the many tests. Stand 6 hours a day in the morning in front of a computer makes things even more difficult and in the afternoons I can't study very well because I'm so tired. Luckily next week will begin Christmas holidays and so I'll take a break from the school to rest and spend time with my family.

My life in this period is so difficult for the video lessons and tests, boring because we are in a period of a global pandemic and I can't go out with my friends. But I'm happy because Christmas holidays are coming and I really like this period.
see you soon

This period is so boring because we cant hang out so much and we have not so much to do. Also is difficult to study and hard to concentrate because we have a lot of usless distractions.

My life, in this period, is very difficult and boring, because we are in a period of global pandemic, but the christmas is coming, and i’m very happy. In this period I helpd my mum in the kitchen, and my father in the garden, I made the Christmas tree with my brother, and we went to buy some decorations. In this period I don’t have much free time, and i can’t see my friends often. But I am positive, and I hope to return to school, to see my classmates and my teachers again. See you soon, Domenico.

I don’t like my life during this pandemic period. Italy has locked its population and I feel lonely because my freedom is limited. I love going out and shopping, staying with people, socializing and travelling. I wish I were in London right now.

Although I don’t like this period, there are some positive aspects: I’m spending more time with my parents and I’m focusing on my hobbies like reading, drawing and cooking (I’m great at baking).

As you’ve already seen, I’ve decorated my Christmas tree with a lot of different hearts and I’m in the Christmas mood.

I chose some Christmas gifts for my family and friends but I still have to buy some.

Unfortunately my relatives live in Lombardy, so they won’t be able to come here for the holidays.

I really hope to go back to school in January and to get my everyday life back.

You're lucky you have so many interests and hobbies, Clarissa. This is important when we have to stay indoors. I started my baking period too - i usually bake a huge quantity of biscuits to give away to friends and relatives. Cute cat!

we would just like to return to normal I think i can stay more time with my parents or i can go out with my friends more than now. I do often some videocall with my friends who are from calabria or with my cousins. In fact there are more good things than bad or that is what i think. I also thing we focus on the negative rather than the positive  but it is for mistakes that we can grow. i've just tell a sad thing and i now who i have to speak like the surfaces and tell: "feeling good"
see you soon
Andrea
Thanks Andrea for your reflections. Your words are very meaningful!

It's very difficult my life now. I live in a house and I've got a garden and this is very important to me because I could stay outside in the lockdown and I could play with my dog.
Now the school employ a lot of time, we must stay six hour in front of a computer and the teachers  give us too many homework in my opinion.
In my typical afternoon, I do my homework and study.
Luckily I continue my artistic gymnastics training three times a week and I'm preparing for the February race.
I love the Christmas period, I decorated my house with the Christmas tree and with another decoration but I'm sad because I will not see my grandparents this Christmas.
I can't wait to back to school in January.
See you soon

Alessia

It's good if you can still go out and do sport. Homework...yes, maybe teachers tend to give too much. We need to think about it!

This is a sad period, I don't like video lessons and the school is a little bit difficult. I can’t go out with my friends very often and I hope to see them soon. Christmas is coming. I did the Christmas tree whit my sisters and I went to buy some Christmas presents.
See you soon, Emanuel

This is a very strange period for me, too. I’m often sad and tired because we have a lot of restrictions. I don’t like very much video lessons and I hope we will go to school again in January. Fortunately I’m not always at home: I do my athletics training and at the weekends I often hang out with friends in Gorizia’s center. Christmas is coming, I put some decorations in my house like the Christmas tree, some beautiful puppets on the furnishings and some lights in my garden. Staying with people and decorating my house help me to be happier! We have to stay positive!
See you on Wednesday, have a nice weekend!

It's an hard time for anyone, but I'm happy because Christmas holidays are coming. It's also my favourite time of the year beacuse I don't like hot weather, I prefer cold. In this period I don't have much free time, but I can see my friends at the weekend and I'm very happy with it. I haven't put any Christmas decoration yet, but I will soon.

This period is difficult but I'm positive! Christmas is coming and I'm happy. I have decorated my home with the christmas tree, little lights, a fireplace and a crib. I hope you like it! See you tomorrow! Amelia

What a nice and festive corner, Amelia!

It's a very busy time because we have a lot of tests and homework and I don't have a lot of free time.  I would like to go out for my basketball trainings but I must stay at home cause of the pandemic.
I'm happy because the Christmas holidays are very close and I hope to go out soon with my friends. Pietro

Yes, so many tests and things to do! Same for me. Hope you will be able to start your basketball training soon!

I live in an apartment, without garden, and for me is quite hard living indoors for so long. Fortunately my dad has a home in San Floriano and at the weekends we usually go there, only if they’re sunny days. The home is a little old inside, because it was my grandparents’ one, but it stills amazing. It has a big, big garden with two orchards and a vegetable garden. My sister and I usually play with ball or help our parents in some house works. We often stay there for lunch and my dad makes very good barbecues. Usually I hang out with my friends too or I stay home doing homework. Some days I have a lot of school work to do, other days less. In this period school isn’t very easy. We must stay six hours on the computer doing not very easy lessons, sometimes with poor connection. I don’t like this very much because I can’t see my friends as frequently as before and sometimes I can’t concentrate. But I think I like this a little because I can get up late. Now we are getting closer and closer to Christmas holidays and even if I will celebrate them differently I’ll have fun anyway. Hope to see you soon, Alice.

Good if you can manage to go out a little bit. Hope to see you soon too!

My life in this period is hard because this virus. I don't like distance learning very much, so the school is very tiring. I prefer go to school. At home I'm bored after a while, I don't know what to do anymore. Luckily there's Christmas! It's wonderful to decorate the house, so the time passes and there are the holidays where I can relax me.

It's a very strange time for me too but I'm trying to adapt,
but it's not very simple. I spend every day studying and doing homework and
I only go out to go to athletics and an English course. At athletics is also the only time I see my friends .Now I can't wait for Christmas because it's my favorite holiday.
ELIA

Very strange is the right word, Elia. We are like in a bubble and we don't know yet much about the future. But we are healthy, and now this is the most important thing. I l love athletics!

It’s so hard beeing a teenager in this period because we are not allowed to go out as much as we would like to. We just have to stay home, and it’s boring sometimes! It’s bad too that we  started new school during pandemic because we can’t appreciate complitely this new experience. By the way, I’m spending such a good time with my family and  videochatting with friends plenty of hours :). I can't wait to go back to school! I whis next will be a better year
Emma

I know, Emma. When you are used to going out often and have no limitations to your routine it really is hard! Keep being optimistic and soon you 'll manage to appreciate school ...at school.

In this period I have more free time so, I decided to cook. Every afternoon, after my homework, I go to the kitchen and I start taking out the pots and preparing dinner. Every time, I add a special touch born from my inventiveness to the dishes to make them more succulent and delicious. The beaver you see in the photo is my assistant cook who always accompanies me when I'm in the kitchen.

In this period i'm getting bored because i can't go out and meet my friends. I am bored because after studying I don't know what to do. one thing that consoles me, however, is the arrival of Christmas.

This a strange and very busy period. I keep working all day long, preparing lessons, teaching and marking tests and assignments. I can't complain anyway: I am fine and Christmas preparations are on the go!
