I. INTRODUCTION
1. Background:
Coronavirus Pandemic came suddenly in the year 2019, which reversed the
normal life of billions of people all around the world. Coronavirus as known as
COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which existed
since 2002 in China. The virus can spread through the air from the infected people
when they speak, breathe or cough... Because the way it swells to society is extremely
easy so as of 15th November, 2021 nearly 255 million people were affected and more
than 5 million deaths worldwide (statistics by Worldometer). Besides the damage of
humans, there are countless impairments can not be reckoned by any numbers or
words. A long-obscured and terrifying truth has been ripped away by the coronavirus:
economies were unconsciously weak, assisted by low-wage employment, and human
health services were tissue-thin. Numerous employees lost their jobs and students in
many countries could not go to school for months included Vietnamese students. The
surprising pandemic has made people transform their studies from in-class lessons to
online-class. During Covid time, many habits have been altered and students have to
deal with many more problems with lockdown protocols.
2. Statement of the problem:
Because of the modifications during the Covid-19 Pandemic, I decided to do
research for the target is that sum up all the issues that young people have to deal with.
There are many changes in lifestyles and problems when students have to modify from
direct studying to study applications, get used to new schedules and control time of
themselves...

3. Research purpose
First and foremost, I would like to share the difficulties with all my IBD friends
and discuss them together. As the result of the modifications during the Covid-19
pandemic, I decided to try to groundwork for the target to sum up all the problems
about individuals’ time management and education that teens need to deal with.
Moreover, the mark that I aim for is to raise the awareness of self-protected from the
Coronavirus, remind IBD students of self-educated and find out the most effective way
to control timetable during the pandemic.
4. Research Questions
1. What did you feel about the challenges of lockdown protocols?
2. What are the benefits and drawbacks of staying at home for a long time?
3. How should IBD students arrange their schedules to balance their learning and
relaxing time?

II. LITERATURE REVIEW:
1. Status of quarantine:
Because of the infection, Viet Nam’s government decided to promulgate
“Movement Restrictions” rules. All citizens of all provinces and cities of Viet Nam
have not been allowed to move to other places and stay in their homes until the
restrictions are being loosened. Hence, every student can not go to school or university
for a long period includes IBD s8 students.
2. Advantages and disadvantages of restrictions:
Advantages:
 Got safe by staying distance from society
 Help the country to against COVID
 Having more time with families
 Time to improve personal skills and change bad habits
 Saving transportation fees
Disadvantages:
 Modifying from direct taught to online lessons
 Lost connections with relatives, friends, lovers...
 Hard to adapt to university as freshmen
 Cause laziness, tediousness
 Became obese ( lack of physical activities,...)
 Stress with living expenses when parents can not go to work

A. Participants:
The respondents to this survey are NEU IBD Intake 17 class S8 students. I chose
this group because they are my classmates and we are all freshmen who have the same
difficulties thus they will give me suitable answers. Moreover, due to the quarantine, I
have not had a chance to communicate with other friends in different classes so my
classmates are fit for my investigations.
B. Research tools:
1. Primary research
I have designed questionnaires on Microsoft Forms and sent them to all the
participants. Their answers will be recorded to supply figures and opinions to the
research, therefore I will summarize them by using charts and analyzing figures.
2. Secondary research
I will organize all the data with the statistics that I have collected from the
participants and consult information from different resources such as newspapers,
blogs, e-books,... Therefore I will write a report concludes my perspective.

IV. ANALYSIS AND MAJOR FINDING
1. Do s8 students find that it was difficult to adapt to changes throughout quarantine?
Very difficult
11%
Difficlult
44%
Normal
44%
Percentage of s8 students base
on their atti tude with changes
Very difficult Difficlult Normal Easy Very easy
The pie chart demonstrates the scale of IBD s8 students’ attitudes with the
impact of lockdown protocols. Overall, there is no student in s8 class who has a
positive posture with modifications during quarantine.
It is clearly witnessed that the proportion of students who felt neutral and the
one who found tough are approximately the same with 44% for the former and 45% for
the latter. The rest of the students (11%) assessed that the alteration was extremely
hard. According to the OECD, 188 countries have imposed countrywide school
closures, affecting more than 1.5 billion children and youth, the sudden changes made
many students must take a long time to adapt to.
