More and more computers and smart-phones are used by teenagers. They spend too much time on the Internet playing or chatting.

My First School Day after the Long Vacation

After the longest vacation I ever had, I was back to school at last. But we had to wear our masks. And before we entered the school gate, our teachers took our temperature seriously. We couldn’t walk with our friends. Instead, we kept one metre away from each other. Our school was trying its best to protect us from the COVID-19.

Even though the life has changed a lot, we still believe our life will be better in the future.
