Ever since COVID-19 began, it has stopped most people from leaving their homes, including students. Most schools across China have moved to online classes since Feb 17. Through livestreaming (直播课), many students have been able to go back to school online.

To me, the biggest headache about studying online is the connection of the Internet. Sometimes, I can't hear my English teacher's voice and I have to connect again. It wasted lots of time. Since then, I have checked my network before class every day and asked other family members not to use the internet while I'm having a class.

Studying at home has made it hard for me to plan my schedule at first. Planning ahead and creating a study calendar is important. You need to know how much time each task will take, such as reviewing your lessons, asking questions, taking notes, and making a to-do list for your homework. These are all good ways to help us learn better online.

Disturbing (打扰) me while I'm studying. A quiet room and clean desk can help us.
