Dear class,
How are you? How is your quarantine going? What are you doing at home? Watching any series? Playing videogames? Learning something new?
Task 1: Write a short note (80 words) on how you are doing with the quarantine. Use different adjectives to describe your day and leave it in the comments (with your name) or send it to my email.
Are you bored at home or are you boring? What's the difference between these two? Let's see that again.
Compare these two examples:- The movie was boring.
- I got bored during the movie.
Adjectives that end in -ed (e.g. bored, interested) and adjectives that end in -ing (e.g. boring, interesting) are often confused.

Adjectives that end in -ed generally describe emotions – they tell us how people feel.I was so bored in that lesson, I almost fell asleep.
He was surprised to see Anne after all those years.
She was really tired and went to bed early.

I could listen to her for hours. She's so interesting.

Well I do not know how to start, but I was leaving my Dad's house and I was notice to come inside again. I did not understand it at first instance but well, Chile is in quarantine and there is nothing to do about it. The first day of quarantine i thought: "this is going to be fun because I am not going to school". So, then I realized that we are on the twenty one century and it exists the "Aula Virtual" so is not that fun as I thought it would be. Anyways, before all the teachers send material to work on, I was focused on winning tournaments on FIFA,playing fortnite and sleeping, now I have plenty of work to do so i will have to wait till' weekend. If you think about it is weird to be at your home and have to practically attend to class and do work of every assignature, but I think I am getting used to it.
Thanks for reading this. i hope everyone is doing ok.
Best, Amanda Hermansen.
