我英文不是很好，但是我想嘗試說出來
(用我的方法表達，文法方面可能會很多錯誤)

Q1: If you’re currently a tenant, how much is your rent per month?
Please describe the place where you live and if you like it or not.

A:18000/1 month(3房1廳還有陽台!) . Although I don’t like it, our family doesn’t own a house

Q2: Has COVID-19 affected your life or job? If so, please tell us how.

A:When the COVID-19 started, I quit my job in China and I found a new job in Singapore.
But who knows...Singapore also came after the virus closed the city and stopped issuing work visas...QQ

我算是在這波疫情中換工作的勇者吧XD 還好我是從事醫療相關產業，影響相對算小還找的到工作 (但我面試的外商都人事凍結了QQ)
在美國的親友就沒這麼幸運了，有人在家工作一陣子後被裁員，暫時也不容易找新工作。
BTW這波全球性的疫情讓我有兩個感想:
1. 覺得很開心家人朋友都平平安安，住在台灣真好QQ
2. 這次疫情對產業的衝擊，未來的生活工作型態應該會真的都不一樣了~ 要好好思考一下未來要怎麼謀生阿~
P.S. Ken喵換照片啦~
