ESSAY:

The occurrence of an epidemic is something no one wants and it is really necessary

and precious for everyone to work together to protect and restore the city to its former
state. What people really need to relieve stress from the epidemic is to adjust their own
thoughts, attitudes and behaviors.

The first key to being able to do anything well is to have a positive mindset,
towards the common good of society. If people think and understand that their attitudes
and actions will greatly affect the city, they will know how to refrain from bad behaviors,
making the epidemic worse. The expression for that is shown in the fact that some places
in the city such as District 7, Cu Chi district have successfully controlled the epidemic
thanks to great contributions from the people. They understand that it is necessary to stay
at home at that time, and act as soon as there are signs of disease. And as a result, these
two districts have been considered green zones. This is a really necessary result to
encourage others to follow and do their best for a healthy community.

Next, what is indispensable and always accompanies thoughts, in my personal

opinion is attitude. If you have a good mindset, but have a negative or uncooperative
attitude, the results won't be as effective. Some people understand that the disease is
dangerous and have orders to lock down their homes. But because of the uncooperative
attitude, they snuck out and the result was that the whole area they lived in and the places
those people passed through were infected. Only when we have both positive thoughts
and attitudes, not only will the epidemic be controlled, the medical staff will also be able
to reduce work pressure, everyone in the family will be healthy, and will lead a positive
and healthy lifestyle. more during this pandemic.

Just having thoughts and attitudes is not enough, we also need action.  As a good
citizen, what we should do is strictly abide by the regulations, directives and policies
issued by the government to build a healthy city. Only go out when absolutely necessary.
More than anyone else, we must know how to protect ourselves and remind those around
us to take precautions, equipping us with the necessary knowledge to be able to use if we
are unfortunately infected with Covid. If all the people work together, the day when the
number of cases decreases, people go on with their lives, the city is bustling again and
will not be far away.

With the above in mind, these can be effective ways that with the help of we as
citizens of the city can work together to restore the city's condition as formerly.
