Deborah: Welcome back to Teen Talk. This week, we're talking about COVID-19. It's 
affected students around the world and we've asked our listeners for their stories. Here's 
Donald, a Grade Eleven student from the USA. 
Donald: My school moved our classes online during the pandemic. In the beginning, I 
found it difficult to focus on my classes. My internet was slow and my microphone didn't 
always work, so it wasn't easy to join in. After a few weeks, things got better. Our class 
had some really interesting lessons, and I think my IT skills have improved a lot. 
Deborah: Dorothy, another Grade Eleven student, also got in touch. 
Dorothy: I really missed my friends during the pandemic. I spoke to them every day on 
social media, but it's not the same as seeing each other face-to-face. I missed the little 
things, you know? Like buying snacks during break, or waiting for the bus with my 
friend, Betty. I felt sad a lot and stayed in my bedroom. I was so lonely-I thought I'd 
never go back to school! My teacher noticed that something was wrong. She was really 
great. We had a short chat twice a week to talk about my feelings. It helped a lot, and 
soon I felt better. She actually gave me the idea for my future job. I want to help young 
people with emotional problems, too
