1 . The COVID-19 pandemic has changed many of our daily habits. These changes have developed to limit the spread of the pandemic. What habits or customs will remain after the pandemic ends?

    1    If you saw someone wearing a mask in public, you might think they were sick or even strange. Today, however, wearing a mask to prevent the spread of COVID-19 is common for many people.

The custom of shaking another person’s hand is likely to become less common in the years to come.     2    

One lasting effect could be that people pay more attention to cleanliness. Some good habits like frequent hand washing and cleaning surfaces are likely to stay.    3     Another good result is that people know more about the spread of some diseases.

    4    This is especially true of public services such as restaurants and stores. There are fewer paper receipts(收据)to sign when shopping.

Another effect of the pandemic could be that more people will stay at home when sick. If people are not feeling well, they can simply work from home.
