Susana –Conciertos(Concerts)
One of the things I've missed the most since the pandemic started is going to concerts. But not only do I miss seeing my favorite artists singing live in front of my very eyes, but also the whole atmosphere around the concerts. I miss getting up early to catch a train or plane to go to the city of the concert, queuing up to buy merchandise, having a leisurely breakfast later in a nearby coffee shop to rest my feet, seeing friends who have already come from their respective cities – the ones that I can only see when there is a concert. And of course the concert itself: listening to my favorite songs live, singing in unison with thousands of other fans, breathing the same air as my favorite singers. And after the concert, commenting on everything that happened with my friends while we have dinner or share it on social networks so that other fans who have not been able to attend the event can also enjoy it.
Lamentablemente todo esto ha
desaparecido a causa del coronavirus, y probablemente este tipo de eventos
multitudinarios tardarán bastante tiempo en volver a la normalidad. Pero
afortunadamente, gracias a las nuevas tecnologías ahora tenemos la oportunidad
de disfrutar de conciertos sin público a través de internet. Aunque no es lo
mismo que estar en un estadio rodeados de otros fans cantando, gritando,
saltando y bailando al ritmo de la música, es una buena alternativa de manera
temporal, y una buena manera de apoyar económicamente a nuestros artistas
favoritos, a los que la pandemia también está afectando gravemente.
Unfortunately,
all this has disappeared because of the coronavirus, and these type of mass
events will probably take a long time to return to normal. But fortunately,
thanks to new technologies, we now have the opportunity to enjoy concerts
without an audience through the internet. Although it is not the same as being
in a stadium surrounded by other fans singing, shouting, jumping and dancing to
the rhythm of the music, it is a good temporary alternative, and a good way to
financially support our favorite artists, whom the pandemic is also seriously
affecting.
Las nuevas tecnologías
también han propiciado el aumento de las clases online, lo cual nos permite
tomar lecciones de cosas diversas sin tener que preocuparnos del lugar donde
vivimos. Pienso que esta época en la que pasamos tanto tiempo en casa debido al
distanciamiento social es un buen momento para aprender cosas nuevas y
mejorarnos a nosotros mismos. Por supuesto, aprender idiomas a través de
internet es muy buena idea, pero también se pueden aprende
r otras cosas como
dulces japoneses, yoga, manualidades, o incluso se pueden tomar clases de
estudios universitarios más serios por internet, como un máster, por ejemplo.
¡Nunca es tarde para empezar a aprender algo nuevo! Así que mucho ánimo a
todos. Aprovechemos este tiempo en casa de la mejor manera posible.
New
technologies have also led to an increase in online classes, which allows us to
take lessons on different things without having to worry about where we live. I
think this time, when we spend so many hours at home due to social distancing,
is a good moment to learn new things and improve ourselves. Of course, learning
languages through the internet is a very good idea, but you can also learn
other things such as Japanese sweets, yoga, crafts, or you can even take more
serious classes of university studies online, such as a Master's degree, for
example. It is never too late to start learning something new! So come on
everyone. Let's make the best of this time at home.
