There have been a lot of changes this year due to the Coronavirus pandemic, but there have been some good moments too. Think about your 2020 and write a blog post about your year. You should give the blog post the title “My 2020”.

If you are struggling to remember what has happened, think about one month at a time: How did you celebrate New Year 2020? How was your January? Your February? …You can also look through your pictures in your phone to help you remember.
