Why?  3) How are your parents coping in lockdown? And what about your brothers, sisters and grandparents? 4) What's the one thing you think we should all do to beat this coronavirus once and for all? 5) Close your eyes and imagine the one place you'd rather be right now instead of in lockdown ... where is it? What To Do: Get a big person in your house to sit down and record the questions and your answers on a smart device (a phone or tablet, for example). Try to do it somewhere quiet! And remember to make sure when you speak, you're nice and close to the microphone! Then email the audio file to [email protected] - and listen all this week to see if you've been featured!
