Little 6TH GRADERS,
This is my dedicated message to YOU!
Don't be afraid because ...
...you are HERO (INE) (S) now!
How's that?
https://youtu.be/Rv4Mmkokexc
The French government, the medical specialists and all the caregivers
(nurses, assistant nurses,(emergency) doctors,
anasthetists) asked you to
STAY HOME
to protect
EVERYONE
(not only the Elderly, but also all the people or adults around like me!)
from the Wicked Virus
Covid-19.
YOU

our GOOD SAVIOURS!

our GUARDIAN ANGELS!
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/guardian%20angel
Right,
I reckon it is hard to be locked down,
not to be able to go out freely and happily,
not to be able to play joyfully,
not to be able to practice your favourite sport,
not to be able to meet your friends
and your beloved relatives
like your GrandMa or Grandpa!
I know
I understand
I feel it
I
THANK
YOU
for
STAYING SAFE
for
KEEPING EVERYBODY SAFE
for
PROTECTING
each of us
all of us
for
SAVING
(our) lives
You don't need to be afraid because ...
...you are HERO (INE) (S) now!
https://youtu.be/TrFwSjJafeA
How's that?
YOU ARE A HERO (INE)
because
YOU know WHAT TO DO
1
STAY AT HOME
2
WASH YOUR HANDS FOR 20 SECONDS
at least
https://youtu.be/a1IWWXZkHzY
3
SNEEZE IN YOUR ELBOW
4
USE A SINGLE TISSUE
5
STAY 1 METER APART
at least
if you go out
BE A HERO (INE)
That's
YOUR JOB
the best job in the world!
