Coronavirus pandemic
2020/03/18 I will remember this day forever. This has been absolutely one of the most weird days of my life.
When I woke up, my cellphone kept vibrating. I received lots of messages asking will I go back to Taiwan or not, is it enough food there…and so on. Everyone ask the same questions. My family and friends think the situation in Europe could not be worse.
Indeed, more and more people in Germany have been tested for the coronavirus nationwide. The sport facilities and libraries were closed from last Friday.I can not buy the noodles I used to eat so I take the other one. Lots of inconveniences caused by coronavirus. However, it seems that another virus is spreading in Taiwan.
I read some articles about international students in England return home for refugee. Almost every news written in Chinese use the same eye-catching picture. About 12 people wear hand sanitizers, face masks and protective clothing sitting together in the airplane. I think that is why my family want me back. Sensational titles and striking pictures make people create their miserable story.
The influence of this news not just that. People in Taiwan believed that the people from Europe will put everyone at risk. Therefore, the aisles and aisles of empty store shelves give the appearance in Taiwan, improbably and alarmingly, is running out of food. The food supply chain, they say, remains intact and has been ramping up to meet the unprecedented stockpiling brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.Still, the fear is palpable. The more empty shelves people see, the more panic-buying ensues, the more food is out of stock.
The terrible news make people hopeless. To take back control of their life, all they can do is to buy more things to feel safe. Hope it will end as soon as possible.

Coronavirus pandemic
2020/03/18 I will remember this day forever. This has been absolutely one of the most weird weirdest days of my life.
When I woke up, my cellphone kept was vibrating (when we have two actions in the past, the background action needs the Past Continuous, whereas the action interrupting the background one needs the Past Simple). I had received lots of messages asking "Will I go back to Taiwan or not?" or "is it there enough food there?" and so on. Everyone ask was asking the same questions. My family and friends think the situation in Europe could not be any worse.
Indeed, more and more people in Germany have been tested for the coronavirus nationwide. The sport facilities and libraries were have been closed from since last Friday (this action started in the past and continues in the present and future, so it requires the Present Perfect Continuous). I can not cannot buy the noodles I used to eat, so I take the other ones. Lots of inconveniences caused by coronavirus. However, it seems that another virus is spreading in Taiwan.
I read some articles about international students in England return going back home for as refugee. Almost every news written in Chinese use the same eye-catching picture.

Sensational titles and striking pictures make people create their miserable story.
The influence of this news is not just that. People in Taiwan believed that the people from Europe will would put (we call this "future in the past". To create it, we use the Present Conditional when talking about a future action in the past) everyone at risk. Therefore, the aisles and aisles of empty store shelves give the appearance in that Taiwan, improbably and alarmingly, is running out of food. The food supply chain, they say, remains intact and has been ramping up to meet the unprecedented stockpiling brought on by the coronavirus pandemic. Still, the fear is palpable. The more empty shelves people see, the more panic-buying ensues, the more food is out of stock.

Your way of writing is remarkable! Good job!
Just pay attention at tenses, which are like Maths most of the time: there is a specific rule for each of them.
