We have already learned the specific vocabulary we need to talk about the Coronavirus disease, and what we should do to stay safe. We had the chance to reflect on maybe, the underlying meaning of it, and learned what is right now the only vaccine for it.

Now, we need music! Music can help us a lot to go through this difficult time.

“One day we’ll remember the hardest of times when distance meant love and it kept us alive ” We are living scary times. Amid the Covid-19 pandemic “Andrà Tutto Bene” is a message of hope and courage for everyone around the globe. To the doctors, nurses, those who are out there fighting for us and to those that stay home protecting their loved ones. Composed and performed by Cristóvam and with a video concept created and directed by Pedro Varela.

Please try to write down and work on the lyrics! The message is so beautiful and you’re going to see vocabulary like verbs, phrasal verbs, prepositions, and a lot of the things we talk about in class…

Thank you, Coronavirus

We learned the vocabulary to talk about the Coronavirus disease outbreak, and we learned how you can talk to the people around you so that you and they stay safe.

So today the message is different. Take advantage of this unique time when we are all kept in quarantine, and listen and think carefully about this message…

Be grateful

Stay aware

Things will never be the same again

And don’t forget…

Stay safe

A couple of days ago, at the time of the novel Coronavirus outbreak in Brazil, we learned the vocabulary we need to talk about this disease that became a pandemic.

So, by now, I think I can safely assume that you know everything about the Coronavirus, and you know how important it is to…

And…

In the above sentences the form of the verbs are in the imperative. The imperative expresses an order.

For example, in the order ‘come here’, ‘come’ is in the imperative.

Now use these sentences to keep you and the people around you safe! 😉

What do you know about the novel Coronavirus that is causing a health emergency?

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV).

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19)  or novel coronavirus (nCoV), is a new strain that was discovered in 2019 and has not been previously identified in humans.

Common signs of infection include respiratory symptoms, fever, cough, shortness of breath and breathing difficulties. In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome, kidney failure and even death. 

Standard recommendations to prevent infection spread include regular hand washing, covering mouth and nose when coughing and sneezing, thoroughly cooking meat and eggs. Avoid close contact with anyone showing symptoms of respiratory illness such as coughing and sneezing.
