What are some tips you would offer fellow students to stay healthy?

As all of you know, the outbreak of this new influenza is very serious. Here are some precautions that will help you keep yourself fit and healthy.
I would most probably advice them to maintain a healthy diet, eat food that contains vitamins and minerals to fend off the ongoing virus. Avoid crowded places as you can get infected or even infect others. Sleep early so that your body could grow well and maybe a better immunity system. Wash your hand regularly following the seven steps of washing hand and of course using the hand sanitizer, these two steps get rid of the germs and not let them infect your food.
H1n1 virus has caused many people to fall ill. As our school has reminded us, I will like to remind all of my fellow students. Those who are ill, please visit the doctor and do not go to school and wait till your MC is over. If you are feeling unwell in the morning, do not go to school too. Going to school when you are ill is not a sign of hardworking it is rather a bad sign of you showing that you have no social responsibility. You also should hydrate yourself regularly.

What are your thoughts about home learning? Is it more effective than learning in school?

My thought about this e-learning is quite frustrating sometimes as along with this e-learning there is no class or any ccas. I feel that conducting e-learning lessons separates friends from meeting up, socializing, and thus one might feel bored. Although one good reason of this e-learning is to prevent this influenza from spreading, and one might feel that he is “imprisoned” as one Is alone and just facing the sceen of the computer.
Though, many might prefer e-learning due to reasons like one does not need to go to school or any ep3s, however, I prefer going to school having normal lessons as I feel that it is more effective to learn while the teacher is teaching and not when one is using the computer. Teachers are human and thus there are more interactive not like a computer that is controlled by a human instead. In conclusion, I prefer normal lessons and teaching is more effective when it is the teacher that is teaching and not the computer.
