Because of COVID﹣19（新冠肺炎），I can′t go home， but you don't need to worry about me．I am safe here． Yesterday I（4） （have） a birthday party with Lihua's family． Lihua's mom made a big chocolate birthday cake for me， and she made much Chinese food that I loved best．We couldn't go out， （5） we enjoyed ourselves at home．
Lihua and I have been busy with our studies since this Monday． We have been having online（6） （class） for several days． Sometimes， when I felt a little upset， Lihua always told some jokes （7） （make） me happy or taught me how to make Chinese dishes．
Now people here are living a （8） （peace） life． On one hand， they stay away from others，and on the other hand， they try to help those in trouble， including us foreigners．（9） kind Chinese people are! This is a country full of love．
