The fires that occurred in Australia were a destruction of all the forests and habitats of animals or people's houses, but there were many animals affected, especially the koalas that predominate in Australia and many of the koalas that lived in Australia and there were fires, many were they burned and died, but hundreds of koalas were rescued and housed in a zoo. There are some who came with burns or with mental difficulties that made balls, it was not good what these koalas have gone through but 10 months after treatment and care, the time has come to release them back to their habitat and this is the best thing for them. it could happen to the koalas
ResponderEliminarI,m sure that this it is going to end not in much time, when I sow on TV that we nearly have the solution for this problem I became too happy, I think now the most of the people wish to finish all this virus, so when all this would end we will value more the people that is with us and the lucky that we are been were we are now, knowing that much of people has stayed by the way. I what to go to visit my grandma and give a big hug, and go with my friend with out mask and been as close as we want, it will be fantastic, but we need to endure a little bit more.

I think this is not going to last much longer, when I found out that a way to end this had been discovered, I was very happy, everyone wants this to end, I think when this is over people will appreciate how lucky they are. knowing that many people have not been able to overcome all this. The first thing I will do is visit all the relatives whom I have not been able to hug in all this time, I will be able to go wherever I want without having to worry about security measures, but there is still little left.
ResponderEliminarMIRIAM NAZARET POZO MANCILLA 4ºA
I think this virus will end soon, when I heard there was a solution for this I was very happy. Everybody wants this virus to end and I think after this, people will appreciate the people they love more.
ResponderEliminarWhen this problem is over, I would like to go visit my family who is quite far away and my friends that I haven't seen them for a long time.
But for now we have to wait a little longer and continue to take security measures.
LARA QUESADA SOSA 4ºA
I hope and I think that this will all end soon.
ResponderEliminarBut now more than ever we have to respect security measures because we are in the final stretch, and it would be useless to do things wrong now, since we have been struggling with this for many months.
When all this improves, the first thing I am going to do is go see my family that I have far from me and I really want to see them.

ResponderEliminarI don't think it takes more than a year for the virus to go away, in my opinion we have to be optimistic but at the same time realistic because it´s a very serious problem where many people are dying.
EliminarI´m very happy to know that progress is being made but it´s really sad to hear that there are still people who take this as a joke and continue having parties, going out with their mask down, not respecting safety regulations in general.
I hope this situation doesn`t last much longer and I can spend time with my family again and go out wherever I want as before

The fires produced in Australia did a great damage and a high number of damages and imperfect in the Australian co0ntinent, the most important and serious damages were damages in forests and animal habitats and even even people's houses were damaged and the residents in each one of them evicted and now they are in their homes because the flames of the fire have destroyed them. There was a large number of damages but the most affected were wild animals such as koalas, which is a very predominant animal in the Australian continent.
ResponderEliminarA large number of koalas died burned by the flames of the fires but others were also rescued as they walked through the streets after not being able to be in their habitats because they were burned or were seriously burned or something else happened because of the fires, even so when rescued they have been cared for and housed in zoos.
Antonio Carrascosa 4ºA
I think all this will end soon, but until it is over, we have to respect the security measures. Very soon there will be a vaccine for the virus and then we will return to normal little by little. When I heard this I was very happy.
ResponderEliminarWhen this ends, I would like to visit my grandparents because I have not seen them for a long time, but we all have to be patient and above all be careful with the elderly so that they do not get infected.

Álvaro Molina Martín 4ºA
i really hope this virus thing is over now, i wish everything would go back to normal because this situation is quite stressful and i want to go back to enjoying it like before, but we need to eliminate the virus first because until it is eliminated we will not be able to be 100% sure.
ResponderEliminarWe are all trying to make a big effort to get back to our family friends etc...
The health service is making a great effort to get the vaccine out and we can enjoy ourselves. I want to play football and do my old activities but until the vaccine is out and working we will have to wait as long as possible
I think the virus will not last much since I have seen that we are getting closer and closer to have a cure.
ResponderEliminarThis virus is killing many people and it makes me angry to know that there are people who think it is a lie and go out without the mask or continue having parties.
I am being lucky and I am grateful that no of my family has had this virus.
When the virus ends I want to visit my family because I have not seen them for a long time and I miss them.
Denisa Andreea Tomoroga 4ºA
In my opinion koalas are a hallmark of Australia, every time I think of Australia I get the image of tall eucalyptus trees and koalas hanging from them, I think that we ourselves are extinguishing other species due to our bad behavior, the idea that in that zoo raise or rescue koalas and then return them to nature seems very good so that the species does not become extinct and repopulate with vegetation and animals everything that was burned.

ResponderEliminarRight now we are in a difficult situation because a virus is attacking our planet and many people are dying every day because of it. But fortunately there is less left for this to end and we return to normality to be able to be with our family and friends without having to have a mask.
ResponderEliminarBut it is what we have to do to defeat the virus and for everything to be as before.
Victor Peñalver Dominguez 4ºA
I think that this situation will finish sooner than we think, because we were with the coronavirus a lot of time. I saw on the television that there are scientists saying that there is a possible vaccine for the next year, 2021.
ResponderEliminarEverybody wish this finishes soon, but we must comply with the rules and continue as we have done during the quarantine if we want this to happen.
When this situation finishes I would like to visit my family, and spend weeks with them.

This situation is so difficult , but we can defeat Covid-19 . On these days in the highschool there are very stirct rules but I support that . I don't konw when the good vaccine comes , because the first one is provisional . The vaccine is in two dosis , one to circulate in the body and the second one to activate the vaccine . The second one makes our body's system not react badly to the vaccine .
ResponderEliminarJavier Rivas López 2ºA
We are in a very complicated situation for the global pandemic, we have to be responsible, and try not to infect people at high risk, and it is better to prevent that from happening because for them it can mean death, we need to be patient until they make a vaccine make the virus disappear

ResponderEliminarI think this video is right because right now on our planet we are living a very bad situation since hundreds of people are dying from a virus and as technology helps us in many situations it could also help us in health, although it already does, yes what the video says is true, it would be much easier to detect viruses and prevent people from infecting it so quickly and we would not even have to be so scared.

ResponderEliminarI believe that this is a big problem, animals and nature have a bad time because of the fires, in this case the most affected are the hundreds of koalas that die and their habitats are destroyed. Luckily now we have technology and people to fight fires but that is not why there will be no more fires.
about covid 19 I want this to end soon because it is insupportable and people have a very bad time I really want to go back to being with my friends in a normal way and without a mask

We are in perhaps one of the worst situations in the past five years. This year many catastrophes have happened, and now we are in, as I have said, one of the worst situations. All this for this damn virus.
ResponderEliminarWe can't see our grandparents. In my case, I have not seen my grandfather for four months. And for two months I have not seen my grandmother who lives on the same street as me. The truth is that I am afraid that something bad will happen to them, and I am very sad that I cannot see them.
On the other hand, at least now we can go to the high eschool to study. For many people it is bad, but for me it is the best thing that has happened in this period of time, because for me teleworking is not comfortable or reliable at all. Going to school in person and being able to have personal contact with the teachers, (maintaining safety distances) is more comfortable, and you can maintain a continuous work.
I am hopeful that this situation will end soon, and we can see our families and friends. I hope I can get rid of all the masks and the damn hydrogel ASAP.

Still, I can feel lucky regarding my personal situation, there are many people who are worse.

The koalas are very beautiful, very funny and very small. The koalas is danger of extinction now, because the hunters, in the past, they hunt them a lot of koalas for they have got their body. Now, the koalas are very friendly and not hunt them more, because is the best for the koalas. The koalas are the best animals for me and sure for all, the koala can't disappear right now, we need them.
ResponderEliminarJose Antonio Sabio Prados 2ºESO A
The koalas are in danger of extinction, because in the past and now, a lot of hunters hunt the koalas in the jungle and in the country, in his house. We must are responsability because the koalas and other species how the tigers, the elefants, the rhinos, the platypus. The koalas are friendly, they are very clever, they are very beautiful, they are very funny.
ResponderEliminarRuben Sabio Prados 2º ESO A
It is very sad to know that so many koalas and other species of animals are dying because of the fires in Australia. In my opinion, Koalas, together with kangaroos, are the most representative animals in Australia, and they are in danger of extinction. I think it is a very good idea that people who live in the area do volunteer to help the animals centers to be able to rescue as many of them as possible, and keep them in a safe place and then take them back to nature that It is where they should be and there they will be truly happy.
ResponderEliminarIf I lived there I would try to help as much as possible, since it would be a shame to see the place where I live in that situation
Alba Arellano Mingotance 4ºA
I think koalas are an icon of Australia, every time I think of Australia I mainly imagine many eucalyptus trees with koalas sleeping in them, I am sorry that humans are extinguishing so many species and it scares me to think that we will continue like this if people do not change their behavior against them, the idea that koalas are raised or rescued in that zoo and then returned to nature seems great to me so that the species does not become extinct and repopulate with vegetation and animals everything that was burned.

This year everyone said it was going to be a good year but today I think it has been the worst year compared to past years, many people at the beginning of the year had summer trips planned, I was one of them and for the virus we could not make the trip.
ResponderEliminarThis year has been quite different since we have had to give classes by computer, we cannot hug the people we want or we cannot visit our families, at first it was very difficult for me like everyone else. The good thing that can be learned from all this is that now we value more being able to see our family, our friends, that health comes first and many more things.
I think that I have been very lucky to be able to do a bachelor's degree in face-to-face class, because online it would be much more difficult and I would learn nothing, I also think that I have been lucky to be able to teach every day although it is a bit tiring to get up early every day, because There are institutes that children of my age and older go one week if and not another, with that I believe that you do not learn the same as being there every day, although it also has its good part and that with that form they do not have exams every week.
I hope that all this passes quickly and that in a few years we can remove our masks and we can see our families and friends.
The fire in Australia was a complete disaster, animals, plants, trees ... were completely destroyed. They rescued many koalas and more animals, but unfortunately many other animals died. I hope everything recovers soon the flora of the place and animals.

The situation is so difficult. I hope that pandemic finish as soon as possible. I want to visit my family and my friends . I always miss my grandparents. I haven’t seen to them for two months, because they live far from me.

Little by little there is less for all this to end with the virus. I hope this will end as soon as possible, because the situation is becoming really oppressive. I want to visit all my relatives and go out with my friends all afternoon, but first, We have to end the virus.
ResponderEliminarStill, I can feel lucky with regard to my personal situation.There are a lot of people who are worse.
I can remember when I went out without the mask, it was incredible. Now we have to respect all the measures if we want to defeat the virus and go back to normality. There is still a long way to go to normality but we have to be patient.
RAÚL GARCÍA JIMÉNEZ 4ºA
I hope this virus ends because nothing can be done or go out with friends or families or make any plans with them every day the situation passes at least I see that it does not improve although there are already vaccines and many people are already vaccinated But there are still many who refused or who could not get vaccinated for some reason, they are people very harmed by this, but there is if little by little things are improving and we finally left the step
