Topic 1 : How Coronavirus affects our lives
Due to the Corona Virus pandemic, many things have changed in our lives. First, the global economy massively decreased because of the lack of trade, businesses, and the production of goods. This caused the imbalance between supply and demand. Second, on a social level, people are now taking more care of their hygiene and health. The pandemic has taught us that protection is better than seeking a cure. People now are washing their hands on a regular basis, and keeping a distance from each other. Finally, on a personal level, a lot of people learned numerous useful things during the quarantine. As a result, they became different persons. For example, some of them learned a new language or new skills, and others read many books. To conclude, we can say that despite the negative effects of COVID-19, it also has positively changed several aspects of our lives.
Topic 2 : The role of citizenship in fighting against COVID-19
The value of citizenship played an important role in stopping the outbreak of the Corona Virus epidemic. First, citizens respected the new laws initiated by the World Health Organization. People stayed at their home and maintained social distancing when going out. Also, many doctors, nurses, and people involved in medicine engaged in voluntary work. They spent the whole nights and days rescuing those in need. Lastly, citizens donated some of their money to the government. The donations were used to help poor families and equip hospitals. To sum up, in addition to science, citizenship was one of the powerful weapons used against the epidemic of COVID-19.
Topic 3 : Paragraph on Distant Learning during Coronavirus
A few months ago, Morocco declared national lockdown due to COVID-19. However, that did not stop students from continuing their studies, through the experience of distant learning. First, the National Ministry of Education used local TV channels as a platform to broadcast lessons. Those channels were accessible by anyone who owns a TV. Secondly, the Ministry made use of a new online platform called Tilmidtice that contains a lot of educational videos. This website could be reached by any student who had an education account. In addition, many teachers came up with special ways to communicate with students. Some of them used Whatsapp groups, or Facebook groups, or both. Other teachers created their Youtube channels to upload their lessons. In conclusion, distance learning was a great experience for many students. However, in the future, we need to improve online teaching and learning, since this feature has become a necessity in the 21st century.

Subject : my advice concerning Coronavirus
Hello James,
Thank you for your last email. I am happy to give you some advice concerning the epidemic of Coronavirus.
Firstly, you should regularly clean your hands and wash them. It is a proven way to kill viruses. Secondly, you ought to never leave your house unless there is an emergency. If so, I advise you to keep distance from people. Thirdly, you’d better wear your mask and never touch your face, because hands touch many surfaces and they can pick up the virus. Lastly, if you have a fever or breathing difficulties, seek medical help, and follow the instructions of your local health authorities.
I want to tell you that I’ve missed you; and I hope you stay safe so we can meet soon.
All the best,
Ahmed
Topic 5 : Article on Coronavirus
Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus.
The best way to prevent and slow down the transmission is be well informed about the COVID-19 virus, the disease it causes and how it spreads. Protect yourself and others from infection by washing your hands or using an alcohol-based sanitizer frequently and not touching your face
When possible, maintain at least a one-meter distance between yourself and others. This is especially important if you are standing by someone who is coughing or sneezing.
The COVID-19 virus spreads primarily though droplets of saliva or discharge from the nose when an infected person coughs or sneezes; that’s why it’s also important to practice the infection prevention measures, such as coughing into a flexed elbow.
At this time, there are no specific vaccines or treatments for COVID-19. However, there are many ongoing clinical trials evaluating potential treatments. WHO will continue to provide updated information as soon as the clinical findings become available.
Topic 6 : Telling a story (A funny incident during the quarantine)
During quarantine, many funny things happened to me. However, the most hilarious one is when I and my family decided to prank my father, and convince him that I caught the coronavirus. I thought of the idea when I watched a video on Youtube of the same joke. Then, I told my mother and brother about it, and they liked it. At the beginning, we waited for my father to get back home. Afterwards, my mother told him that I am not feeling well. My father came to my room to check on me. It was then when I started to cough and pretend that I had breathing difficulties. My father was really confused, and he called my brother who told him that he heard me sneezing during the whole morning. A few moments later, my father tried to call the local health authorities but my mother stopped him. My father did not know what to do, and he kept telling everyone not get near me. At the end, he decided to lock me in my own room for two weeks. Finally, we told him the truth and everyone started to laugh. It was a very nice moment that made us forget about the global issue for a while.
