Then, when the pandemic was progressing and you could go out to work or to do necessary things, I felt alone at home because my parents were going to work and I still did not have school yet. Besides, being without seeing your friends for so long is hard because you have always been able to hug them whenever you wanted, have them close… But in those moments you could not.

Finally, when the government said that we were not in a state of alarm and that we could leave our house regularly, i felt much better. But apart from that at the moment we were not as good as I would like, because all over the world there are still cases and deaths.

Secondly, the speech locution asymptomatic for me has been an important lexeme since all this started. It makes me feel bewildered, considering that you can have the virus and give it to people that can die if they get  infected.

Finally, the concept case fatality rate has made me feel frustrated and sad for so many days during these months. This rate has been so high; since this pandemic started 32.225 people have died. Listening everyday how many people have died and that you can't  do anything to help has been very frustrating for me.

In conclusion, this situation is so difficult for everyone. All of us are confused due to not knowing what to do. Despite that, we have to  be positive and follow the instructions that the government gives us, because if we go all together we are going to escape from this challenging situation.

EMOJI

    During this situation I have missed this emoji. It consists of an emoji of the balloon of the world that is surrounded by some proteins, that simulated the proteins that the coronavirus has.  It show us that this is a 

global problem. It does not depend on where you live, how much money you have… In conclusion we have to be all together and help others all we can, because we can be in the same situation tomorrow. 

Apart from that, I think that the Covid-19 is the worst thing that has ever happened in the world. The students had to do work from home and in that way we couldn’t learn well. When the government said we could go out, we had to wear face masks and I was so uncomfortable with it. Now, we have to wear those things in class and one day I am going to die because sometimes I’m hot and I can’t take it off.

I ride horses, and when we finally went to the equestrian place, everything was different. At all times, the people who work there have to disinfect all the things that people would touch. 

We have to be responsible because if we aren’t, everything is going to get worse and I can’t be all my life with the fear that I am going to infect my family or the fear to infect myself. 

This is the picture I have chosen to represent my quarantine
On the one hand, the anxiety I felt because I didn´t  know how to manage the situation, also  uncertainly I think it´s been something we´ve all felt at some moment because it´s been a new situation. On the other hand, social distance is a very important word because when they started letting us go for a walk it took me 2-3 weeks to get out again because I didn´t feel comfortable walking with people around me,.Fortunately loneliness hasn´t been something that I personally felt but I have thought a lot about it and what it has supposed to people who live alone or old people that couldn´t see their family. Finally the desperation that  all the  health staff might have felt I just can´t imagine that feeling. That´s why I wanted to include that word.

During this time, we have created a new language for coronavirus and through this hard situation, it has helped people laugh and commiserate. Many of the newly popular terms are used to remind us of the social distance such as, ‘virtual happy hour’, ‘covideo party’ and ‘quarantine and chill’ and most of it applies the “corona” prefix. 

On the other hand, apart from funny statements, some lexicologists are trying to create new formal expressions so as to keep up with the changes the pandemic has brought. For instance, “Covid-19”. Moreover, there are some other words or expressions which existed before but because of the situation gained another meaning, including “natural disaster” and “perfect storms”, They can create the impression that the pandemic was unavoidable and inevitable. 

As well as these expressions, some terms have been put into practice and obtained more importance than before, for example, “antibody”, “lockdown”, “contagious”, “disinfectant”, quarantine”, “face mask”, etc. 

To sum up, in my opinion, and in my own experience, the five words which somehow represent the pandemic are face mask, coronavirus,  immune, infected and physical distance.  The reason why is that when I am with my friends, we use them as a way to make jokes and make the situation more bearable. 

   At the beginning, the situation was very strange and it was a bit scary to see how the numbers of infected and mortality rate were rising faster and faster. It was necessary to take measures and decisions very quickly, that is why I have chosen this photo, I think it represents very well the effort that we all had and have to do, especially the doctors and nurses to fight the coronavirus as quickly as possible. 

   Thanks to the face masks and the hand sanitizer, little by little we have achieved to get out of the chaos of the beginning, and the number of infections has been progressively decreasing, that is why their proper use is so important. The truth is that it is a bit stifling to have to wear the mask, especially at school and at work, and not knowing how long we will have to be in this situation, is stressful and frightening. But for now it is the only thing we can do and I think we will get used to it. 

We are returning to a strange normality, where we have to be everywhere with the face mask, wash our hands with hand sanitizer at all hours, keeping physical distances and many other hygiene and safety measures. 

I don't want to go back to the situation we were in a few months ago, therefore it seems necessary to maintain these security measures and be responsible. Together we will be able to end this pandemic and little by little return to normality. Together we are stronger!
