The novel coronavirus (新冠病毒) made this year’s Spring Festival holiday very different for most of us. Many places in China began a first-level emergency (突发事件) response to the virus in mid-January, calling for people to stay at home. Following these rules, most people gave up family gatherings during the Spring Festival and canceled any festive celebrations. “It’s the quietest Chinese New Year I’ve ever had,” Xin Jingrong, a 14-year-old student from Nanning, Guangxi told TEENS.

The control measures not only separate many families, but also make daily life inconvenient. Many shops are closed, delivery services are slow, and wearing masks in public has become a must.

In this difficult time, when one gets sick, many others could be affected.”

Apart from simply following the rules, some people have done amazing things to help fight the outbreak. On Feb 3, Zhao Junyan, a Junior 2 student from Shanghai, brought 15,000 masks from Indonesia back to China, People’s Daily reported. Zhao, while traveling in Jakarta, collected the masks with his uncle, who works in the city. The 15-year-old donated (捐赠) all of the masks to Cangnan, Zhejiang, his hometown. “When a country is in trouble, everyone is responsible to help,” Zhao said to the media. “What I have done is what an ordinary Chinese person can possibly do.”

Our school doesn’t have many parties, but this year Ms Cipriano said we could have one. The fourth grade wanted the theme to be “Under the Sea”, but the fifth grade wanted it to be “Outer Space”. After a long discussion, it was decided to be the former one.

Everyone had to be on a team, and everyone had to help do something. My team was in charge of special effects. Gary came up with a great idea. He got two big, old fishing nets which were once used by his father when he went fishing on the sea. Gary, Jemma, and I used ropes to tie the nets to the ceiling of the dining hall, and it looked really great. Then we cut out fish shapes from colored paper and stuck them on the nets.

Everyone seemed to go to the party in one of three costumes: some kind of fish, a mermaid, or Neptune — the “King of the Sea”.

Lidong came on November 8 this year. It is the Chinese word for one of the 24 solar terms (节气). It means the beginning of winter.

As the weather gets colder and there is less sunlight, people are more likely to get sick. Adults in the US usually have two to four colds each year. Young children suffer from six to eight colds per year, especially in winter months, according to the American Lung Association. One of the best ways to keep healthy during winter is to stay warm.

There are many ways to stay warm. A living room should be around 18-21 C, and you can also use a hot water bottle or at least 16 C. blanket to keep warm while in bed. Getting plenty of exercise is always a good idea. Take a walk on a sunny afternoon, do a long distance run or skip rope. These things keep your blood moving and your metabolism (新陈代谢) fired up. Food gives us energy and helps to warm us from the inside. High-protein (高蛋白的) foods, like fish and meat, provide a lot of energy. Add some things to your winter dishes, such as ginger, pepper and garlic. These things can make you warm. A winter coat warms you up from the outside. Add several layers of thin clothing, for example, a shirt and a thin sweater, to stay even warmer. Clothes made from wool are usually very warm.

How to make winter days colorful? Is it too cold to play outside? Don’t worry. Here are some tips for having fun at home. Give it a try!

■ Enjoy a movie with your parents. There are a lot of choices, such as Spy Kids. You can also talk about the movie with your parents after it’s over.

■ Cook a meal with your parents. You can cook some simple dishes, such as scrambled eggs with tomato. You may need your mother’s help for the first time.

■ Clean your bedroom. You need to sweep the floor, tidy your desk and make your bed. By doing this, you really help your mother a lot.

■ Read your favorite book. Reading is not only helpful for your writing ability, but can also help to build your character.

1. According to the passage, we can ___________ to have fun at home in winter days.
