Because of the coronavirus, we couldn’t go back to school. But I tried to make my life at home exciting during the holiday.
I often listened to music after finishing my schoolwork. Because of this, I learned about a lot of new songs and excellent singers. Listening to music can make me relaxed and keep my mood light.
I watched the news every night. It can help me understand the world. The news tells me the strength of our motherland and the difficulties some parts of the world face. From this, I learned that peace is important.
On weekends, I sometimes watched movies, such as The Shawshank Redemption 《肖申克的救赎》and Forrest Gump《阿甘正传》. These movies are very educational. They taught me not to give up. I like them very much.
Even if I couldn’t go out, I still played sports. Sometimes I went to the gym（健身房）downstairs. I ran and did strength training. I think exercise is the best way to relax my mind and body, so I’m still exercising.
I also developed a new hobby—I planted a pot of flowers. Because of my care, it is growing very well now. I think growing flowers can cultivate（培养）my sense of responsibility.
During this period of time, I learned a lot and felt a lot. It was a colorful and meaningful time.
