    Hi @Michele.Barbagli

    Oh my goodness, that is a big change indeed. What are the implications of the increase in online meetings for you? I’m curious if you feel more or less productive?!

    Notes:

    Have a look at the corrections below:

    1. you need to use the article here; the pandemic, a physical meeting, an online meeting

    Alternatively, you could make meetings plural: From my experience, physical meetings are …. / online meetings are definitely ….

    (I recommend you do the section called ‘Articles’ in the advanced unit in the grammar course. I’ll be sending out the access to this course later today)

    2. This is a tricky phrase. We should make “disrupting event” a noun: disruption and we can make the sentence less wordy (remember in English, less is more 😅)

    so: The pandemic has been a disruption to/on our daily routine.

    3. Here you need to use the present perfect: I’ve switched from … (The present perfect continuous focuses on the duration of something, so we don’t tend to use it with verbs (like switch, fix etc) that don’t have a continuous state.

    (There is a present perfect section in the upper intermediate unit that you’ll find useful)

    👍
