【答案】Dear Peter,

I am very sorry to hear that you had to stay at home to prevent COVID-19 spreading. It is frustrating and hard to adapt to such a situation. Here are some suggestions I want to offer you.

To begin with, I strongly suggest that you choose some books you really want to read because reading can teach you some wisdom and broaden your horizons. In addition, it is also a good idea to find some hands-on activities, for example, cooking food for your family or do some painting, which will certainly strengthen your family bond and arouse your creativity. Most importantly, you are supposed to take a positive attitude to life and believe everything will pick up soon.

I sincerely hope my suggestions are of some help to you.

Yours,

Li Hua
