📖 題組：
At a personal level, the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced individuals of all ages. The first and foremost is change in social life. Social life of youngsters and youths has been greatly compromised when school learning moved online. Rather than meeting up with others in class and studying jointly as a cohort, most students have been taking classes remotely in a home environment. It is quite concerning to think about how virtual learning might impact students’ socialization and development. Amid the practice of social distancing, curfews, and lockdowns, it is very difficult for ordinary people to stay mentally sane and physically fit. In some cities, seated dining is an exception rather than the norm, home parties are discouraged or banned altogether, and group gatherings are prohibited. Mandatory mask wearing may impede the drive to communicate, and the constant fear of contagion may lead to social isolation. Nonetheless, most people have tapped into their ingenuity and creativity to maintain a decent social life during the trying times. In fact, new understanding has been reached as a result of the impact of the pandemic. While there has been a huge drop in work and household travel overseas, people have come to realize the fun and beauty of domestic outings. While people have shuttled back and forth attending meetings, they are now participating in numerous meetings via online platforms with more efficiency and effectiveness. Indeed, in this ongoing war against the pandemic, we have seen the resilience and power of mankind.
