Greymouth Star interview


                            COVID-19 interview on Marlene 65-year-old
                            21/4/2020

Today this article is about an interview with the Marlene Trounsen dealing with COVID-19. We asked Marlene lots of questions about how she is going during in self-isolation and how she is surviving while stuck at home. Marlene has been stuck at home longer than most of us due to her age. She is staying in self-isolation with her husband Cedric.

Marlene Trousen has said that she gets occasionally bored because she can't go and visit friends and she also can't go to public places. Marlene entertains her self by playing lots of board games, cleaning, making jewellery and also play on the computer so she doesn't get as bored. During this self-isolation, she tries to eat a lot of healthy food so she stays healthy and fit. Unfortunately, Marlene has not learnt any new hobbies although she has been doing her biggest hobby, making jewellery. Marlene tries to communicate with friends and family by telephone so that they can talk and catch up with the news. Marlene has claimed that after all this self-isolation the first person she would like to see would be her best friend Tony! 

Thank you for catching up on the Greymouth Star Newspaper and catching up on what has been happening during quarantine!






This week for literacy one of our activities is to write a News article on us interviewing an elderly to catch up on how the quarantine has been going. I really enjoyed writing this because It was fun and It actually felt like you were writing a real news article. I found this really hard because at some bits it was hard to put all the words together so that it made sense and so it sounded professional.

  1. Wow Clara! A great newspaper article. I like how you have explained what Marlene has been doing but also added extra details. I wonder what kinds of healthy foods Marlene and Cedric have been making? Keep up the amazing work!
