Could 2021 be the year when we bounce back ( We must be ready to bounce back (QUARANTINE: DAY 22) ) and recover form the Covid-19 pandemic??
Well, we'll give it a go! At least we started the New Year with our beloved Radetzky march-2021 in Vien with no public, but wih applause!!!

ResponderEliminarI believe that with the new vaccine the issue of the coronavirus will be fixed little by little and the economies of some countries will also stabilize.
I really hope that this year will go better than the previous one since 2020 has been a disaster, since it has been full of conflicts between countries, wars against racism in the United States, fires all over the world, especially in the Amazon and In Australia, it is also a year that has been under the threat of the coronavirus and we were in quarantine for a long time, in summary this year is not that it has been very good.
Hopefully this year is much better than the previous one and that there are not so many catastrophes
After a whole year with Covid-19, I find it a bit strange that in that short time they have gotten the vaccine so quickly, which I do not see is very effective since they put on the news that a nurse got the vaccine and after three days he tested positive for Coronavirus. They also said by the news that they see very strange that a year they have already taken the vaccine when, for example, for the flu vaccine it took much longer. Perhaps thanks to the vaccine, the Covid disappears, but seeing the circumstances the situation is a bit difficult. And another thing to be I forgot to comment: Happy New Year.

ResponderEliminarThe year 2020 has been a bit of a disaster and catastrophic, I hope that with the new vaccine the situation of the coronavirus will improve little by little, such as the decrease in infections and the decline in hospitals and the economies of some countries will also stabilize. This new year will be better than the previous one. Although we are still in the first day of the year and I hope soon to think about how the year will progress.
ResponderEliminarAlways at the beginning of the year I organize several resolutions to fulfill throughout the year and I propose to achieve them. Last year, I decided to save money to buy an iPhone, to organize the hours in the afternoons, to get up early on weekends to organize my room Since during the week I did not have time to order it at the institute. In the end they quarantined us in March and I had enough time to tidy my room every day, also since I could not leave home I had organized afternoons. And I have also managed Horre to buy the iPhone, I bought it on Black Friday since the prices fell, in the end I achieved all the purposes I set for myself.
The purposes of this new year are to make comments, and the tasks of the English books for the course just have to study and do exercises and have an organized and orderly desk since I always have it messy and I have all the sheets and folios mixed .
I hope that this year 2021 will be much better and that it progresses well and there are no catastrophes. I hope that with the vaccine the situation will progress well and soon we can return to a normal life such as without a mask and be able to meet all of us.
I hope that this new year will be much better than last year, since last year was very difficult for me, since we were locked in our homes for a long time, without being able to see our families, friends or being able to go to high school, at first I said at least we have not had to go to high school and we have had more "vacations", but starting this course has been very difficult for me since we have not studied for a long time, and I am already in a course that is difficult and that you have to study a lot to have a good future, it was also difficult for me because I had a family problem and it became much more difficult for me because of the covid I could not go to visit him, but hey all this Christmas I have been studying to make it easier for the other quarters.
ResponderEliminarEvery year I set goals and some I end up achieving but for this year my only goal is to get this year and the one that comes with a good note, get the B1 and next summer the B2 and I hope that after having taken the vaccine and everything will improve and that not so many people die, nor are there families without money for the reason that they have to close.
Everyone says that this year is going to be very good, I hope it will be, but I think it will be only a little better since now the consequences of last year will come in the economic issue, but well, we will get out of this as we have left all.

ResponderEliminarI sincerely hope this new year is better than the last one. We will have the vaccine early and I think that this will improve the situation a lot. Or at least I hope so! Although it is still too early to decide how the year will advance...
ResponderEliminarI always try to set my goals easy to accomplish. If they are a few, I try to achieve all of them. Last year, I decided to save money to buy a new computer, do more sport and watch film classics. I achieved to save a lot of money and as I was in quarantine I had a lot of free time at home, so I did a lot of sport and I watched an average of 3 films a week, so I managed to fulfil my 2020 goals.
This year my New Year's goals are to be more organized because I always have my room like a mess and also my wardrobe. I started the year tidying it, so I hope it lasts the whole year tidy. I also want to read more, because I have some new books that I haven´t read yet. I have also wanted to get the B2, so I will work very hard to achieve it.
I think this year will be much better. Little by little, we are making great progress, and I am not just referring to the coronavirus... In Argentina misbirth in hospitals has been legalized and that is something really positive for feminism. Also, from 1st of January 2021, both parents will have the same time of parental leave, specifically 16 weeks, for the birth of a child. They are very good advances that we have already made for 2021. And I trust that we will advance much more!!
The New Year begins on the 31st at 12 at night. It is a tradition to eat 12 grapes, one for each bell on the night of 31st December (they symbolize the 12 months of the year), supposedly eating them brings good luck to the year. Every year I go out with my friends but because of the pandemic and the curfew, I have not been able to go out. This end of the year I have celebrated with my parents and my sister for the circumstances we living. I hope this year is better than last year. Thanks to the vaccine I hope the situation improves.

I hope this year is better in all aspects than the previous year, especially health.
ResponderEliminarWith the vaccine I hope that we can return to normality as before, although that I think is going to be quite difficult if not impossible.
Last year I had as a New Year's resolution to do more exercise, and when we went into lockdown I achieved it, I also tried to save money, but I never succeeded.
I trust that this year everything will work out better and we can move forward with the Covid.

ResponderEliminarWithout a doubt, 2020 has been the but year without a doubt in the history of the world with this covid-19 I hope that 2021 is a good year and that the covid-19 will go away because the masks are annoying in my opinion, and you can hardly hear it When you are finally speaking I hope you have a good year.

We start a new year, and we finally end last year, the damned 2020, in which lots of bad things happened, the pandemic that we still have, all the fires in Australia, floods in Indonesia, or the volcano eruptions. Finally, 2020 came to an endand we started a new year,2021.
ResponderEliminarIn this new year I hope that all will get better, especially the condition of the pandemic that we have, I hope that all the vaccines that scientists are making and that all the nurses are injecting to all the elderly people, will do their effect to the condition and we can return to the normality that we had before, I hope that we will be able to go out without face-mask, that we will visit all our family, and that we will go to any place that we want.
With the new year all the people do New Year's wishes and all the years these New Year's resolutions used to be related to money, or finding a good job and some people used to ask for health, but last week I saw the wishes for the new year of some people on a TV programme and all the wishes were that the pandemic ended. Almost everybody asked for health, and none of them asked for money, as it used to be, but we can understand this, we only need to know what the situation is like nowadays.
In my opinion, this year will be also a very difficult year, because it will be a recovery year, but it will be a better year than last one, I hope that at least we can be freer during this summer time, and this way we can enjoy the summer.

ResponderEliminarThis past year 2020 has been from my point of view the worst year for me and for many people. It has been a year in which our lives have changed in a huge way, in the pandemic with the collapse of the hospitals in our country, the downturn in the economy of all countries is going to make the whole world go through a crisis situation.
ResponderEliminarEvery year I like to propose new goals and new purposes when a new year begins. Last year, due to everything that happened with the covid-19 pandemic, I could not achieve some of my objectives and this made me propose them again in this new year along with different ones.
I hope that this 2021 is better for everyone and that we get out of this as soon as possible and we can return to a new normal quickly which is what we all want right now but it always has to be possible with everyone's help because If this help is not there, we will not get anything.

We start a new year, and we finally end last year, the damned 2020, in which lots of bad things happened, the pandemic of Covid, that we still have, all the fires in Australia, the pests of deadly insects in Africa and parts of Spain. Finally, 2020 came to an endand we started a new year,2021.
ResponderEliminarIn this new yaer I hope that this year are better than the last year, above all respect the situation of the pandemic of Covid-19, that doesn't seem to improve, if not that it's getting worse. I hope that the vaccines that the scientist have created work well and do effect, and that we can return to the normality as fast as possible. I that really want to for this new year is that the experts find the best vaccine and that they create a new medicament that neutralize the Covid.
I hope this for this new yaer, but for now this isn't being fulfilled, because in the little time that we have of this 2021, the pandemic have worsed and in this time, there have already been multiple episodes of misfortune as can are the assault on the capitol, the Brexit, the storm Filomena with the snow that has paralyzed the whole country and now the earthquakes of Granada.
I hope that this 2021 finish redirecting and that this year is the best.
I hope that 2021 will be phenomenal, at least better than last year, they are announcing that they have the vaccine, but I don't think this will work, basically because people keep having illegal parties, they have no distance, they refuse to put on the mask, etc. . They say that the vaccine is not 100% reliable, so even if they give me the vaccine, I will continue to wear the mask even if it is not necessary, especially in shopping centers, high schools, etc.
ResponderEliminarThe year has not started very well, a storm called Filomena came, this storm brought snow and rain, I was in Madrid while the storm was there and I couldn't go home because all the roads were full of snow.
I hope this year is better and happy year.

When we started 2020 we did not imagine everything that was going to happen a few months later. I think it has been a horrible year and many people have had a very bad time, because of the covid and because many have lost their jobs. We were all looking forward to 2020 ending and starting 2021 from scratch and forgetting everything, but I think 2021 is being just as bad as the previous year.
ResponderEliminarI hope to achieve this year the objectives that I did not meet last year.

The year 2020 was very bad for everyone.
ResponderEliminarMany people have died and others people have lost their jobs and they haven’t any money to eat.
Doctors have been collapsed.
In my opinion 2020 has been the worst year.
I hope that 2021 they will release the effective vaccine and I can achieve purposes.

ResponderEliminarMany people at the beginning of the new year set a series of objectives and resolutions for the whole year. Some of them have hopes about their material goods, such as money, clothes, parties, friends... Some others are hopeful about their health, their well-being, their work, their studies... However in this new year 2021 what most of us have wished for is a calmer and safer year that past year with the Coronavirus.
EliminarThree months have passed since we started the New Year, and the truth is that despite being in a very difficult situation, we are half-controlling the situation. Last month there were many cases of coronavirus and many people were dying. For example, in a particular case my cousins were in the hospital very ill from the virus. But this month the situation is calmer, there are fewer cases of coronavirus and people are recovering.
However, there are still very irresponsible people and they are still very selfish. There are some people who don’t comply with the regulations and skip the limitations between provinces and continue travelling, and visiting people at risk. For example, a few weeks ago when the exits of my province closed, many people came to my town to the beach and to the bars, without taking into account the precautions that had to be observed.
From my point of view, although there are irresponsible people who don’t comply with the regulations, most of us are behaving in a responsible way and we are knowing how to control the situation. Also, the arrival of vaccines is being of great help to reassure people. I hope the year continues like this and we will not find ourselves in the same situation as last year.

Nobody would have thought about everything that happened in 2020. In my opinion, in general it has been a bad year for most because of the covid. Hopefully,2021 will be better than 2020.
ResponderEliminarWe have started this new year a little badly due to the third wave of covid but it does not mean that 2021 is going to be a bad year.
I hope this year we can go back to normal or at least be better than 2020.

We are currently living in a pandemic of the COVID 19 disease that causes breathing problems in people. It family. We have to careful because we can catch it. Step by step people are getting vaccinated and it might finish soon. What will happen next?
ResponderEliminarThe best thing is that the diase will be over and this will be an important change in the life of the whole world. We will be able to meet people we haven`t seen for a long time. We will finally be able to travel to other countries, go to the cinema, bars, football...
And we will do all this without wearing a mask. The worst thing is that we have lost a lot of time while we were locked up. Because of the disease we have to remenber the people who have died. Many families will think about money because their businesses will be closed. The weedings and funerals that we didin`t go we will always remenber. People will always be afraid that this will happen again. In conclusion, we will have learned to make a better life and more the use tecnology. Anyway there will be bad things in life when the pandemic is over.
