Is 2020 A Bad Year?

Since the first day of 2020, this year has continued to surprise us, starting with almost a world war 3 to large fires, in some parts of the world to a global pandemic. leaving people without jobs and large companies and businesses forced to close and also putting people without having many things to do and putting them in quarantine but despite that many people have taken the positive side since they have had more time to appreciate the company of their relatives. In my opinion, this year has left us with much to learn. This year has taught us to value more the things we have and the things that surround us.

  • Good topic choice and good job replying back to students Jackson! I do think your summary is a bit brief. Expand more on what made 2020 such a struggle.

  • Personally, I think that this year has been terrible for some people and not so good for others. For example, if you have had Covid-19 or have had someone that you know that has had Covid-19 and possibly has died from it this would be a terrible year. But for some students who hate school and haven't had Covid-19 then this year hasn't been that bad.

  • In my opinion this year is terrible with the pandemic, wild fires, tension between countries, and unemployment.  But it cannot be all bad, for example the wild fires will put nutrients back into the earth to help regrow the forests. I think the year will have more in store for us and it will probably be more bad things but I am sure good things will happen too.

  • My opinion is that the year has gone terribly for almost everyone but in a way the pandemic actually helped our environment. For instance, without people driving a lot the world cut down emissions by a large amount and animals were starting to come back to places they once lived in. I am sure there will be more bad news to come in 2020. Every month has had its own amount of craziness and I;m sure the next months will have bad things.

    • I agree it been terrible but it has actually helped the environment a lot less car contamination and animals coming back to places that used to be their homes like the dolphins. and hopefully, the next months are not that bad. 

  • I think this year has been a crazy one. However, bad things happen, and all these accidents just happen to fall in this year. Also, they're bad events that happen every year. There's a pandemic, and they happen every so often. It was going to happen sometime. I believe this year is just another crazy year, and we're going to have plenty more. 

    • I agree that it is a bit strange that all those bad things happen to be  in 2020, and of course there are bad things that happen every year but 2020 definitely is going too far.

    • definitely this year has left us many lessons in general and hopefully also the government to treat people better And if we hope for the best then it may happen.

  • My opinion on this year is that it has been an eye opener. It has taught us how to have patience, and how to have appreciation for what we have because it can be taken away any day. I think there is no way to tell if the rest of the 2020 year is going to be bad or good. However, I hope we can finish this year off decent.

    • Yes, this year definitely has taught us a lot of things as you said has taught us to be more patient about things and also taught us to appreciate more the things we have around.
