Today is a special edition of 'Colloquial Short Stories'

In today's episode, I'm going to make a short story using

Adverbs of manner

some very key terms you may have heard in the news lately

and this will help you understand them better

and then explain the terms in basic English

Ok so the first term 'flattening the curve'

You may have seen this graph in the news quite often

When the news asks us to flatten the curve

And stay away from other people for awhile

This will help flatten the curve in general

will help prevent hospitals from being overwhelmed

Another key word you may have heard quite often

And this will help prevent the spread of coronavirus

I decided to self quarantine for two weeks

If you self quarantine, you can help stop the spread of coronavirus

That just means you stay at least a few feet away form everyone

So even if you are practicing self quarantining

You still need to go out and get food and water

But if you do that, you still want to stay at least a few feet away

And this will also help prevent the spread of coronavirus

Alright, we only talked about a few terms

And here's a quick quiz to help you remember

I hope today's video helped you learn some important

But doing these things can help save our lives

And the lives of others that you may have not even seen

Don't worry we'll get to regular videos next week
