In basically, my country controlled the pandemic for now. So I can go out to work, therefore I can meet new people every day.

The pandemic has changed lives. I meet new people hardly ever. Because I study online and rarely go anywhere.

I often meet new people at my job. When I need to evaluate a platform, I work with the provider (local and external) for 2 or 3 months. We organize proofs of concept for all platforms. I really know a lot of people on these projects. These projects are usually every 6 months.

Now I don't meet new people because in Italy for Covid's situation we can't go anywhere.

Every week because my work in company

I meet new people not often, but it is so interesting for me, though, we visit sauna every month and my friend Vladimir invite new people.

I hardly meet new people these days due to the pandemic. before that, I met new people several times in a month. I really miss that days. meeting new people is fun and sometimes it change the life more interesting.

This assignament, is a good task for the Pre-A1 level students.

Usually, when I go out with my daughter I meet new people, others parents for sure.

I think sometimes a meet new people with more frequency but in this days or few months ago because of the covid I couldn't meet new people personally but actually i found new friends through instagram or other app. In this days or months ( when the covid is more level) i met and i meeting with a new people (thanks to my friends) because when i meeting with them, they carried his friends or we go to bars and there we meet new people and now friends
