Life without COVID

The good news!

After a long holiday past the number of infected people still getting less.

Our life may become normal again?

BUT! For some people this may not be good news.

1 ME

The last whole year my job was so relaxed.

My colleague told me the work load could be twice much, in the “normal” situation.

2 My Friend

She is part time lecturer.

She usually teaches 2 class in one day.

Because now the school is using “zoom” instead a real class.

Therefore, she can manage have 3 class within a day.

That is 50% increase of her income.

If school allows student comes back and take class.

So, what about in your case?

Life without COVID

The good news!

After a long holiday past the number of infected people still getting less, the infection rate is continuing to decrease.

"The number of infected people" is perfectly ok, however just in the news I think you to tend to hear them refer to it as the "infection rate"; the rate at which the virus is spreading.

Our life may become normal again?

BUT!HOWEVER

When adding emphasis block capitals is perfectly fine also, however an exclamation mark makes it more slang, and is more generally used at the end of a dramatic statement, whereas you go on to say more, hence "HOWEVER", I think is the most appropriate phrase in this case.

For some people this may not be good news.

The last wholeFor the whole of last year, my job was soincredibly relaxed.

There are various different phrases that can be used to talk about extended time periods; in this case I think "For the whole of" is most fitting to describe "last year" because this is the "most recent extended time period" you can talk about, so the word "for" implies whichever conditions you are describing have been fixed and unchanging throughout this period.

My colleague told me the work load could be twice as much, in the “normal” situaunder "normal" conditions.

You should say "twice as much", also the word "situation" I think is more often used to refer to a single event, we more generally use the phrase "under (a certain set of) conditions" to describe something that is in place over a longer period.

She is a part time lecturer.

When talking about people's jobs or careers (including your own) you should use the definite article "a(n)" before whatever the job title is, unless you are describing what their job involves, to give another example you would say "He is a firefighter" but "He puts out fires".

She usually teaches 2two class in onees per day.

There is more than one class, so the plural form is required. Also we generally write out smaller numbers in words, for larger numbers this becomes more problematic, so they are usually written in numbers, while you're not wrong, we do sometimes write smaller numbers using simply the number itself, I chose to "correct" this, just to try and give you a different perspective. We can use the word "per" to describe a rate at which something happens, or how something is distributed in relation to another factor, like for example we talk about "miles per hour" in terms of speed "I am travelling at 50 miles per hour" for example, there are also other phrases which can be more appropriate to describe different scenarios.

Because now the school is using “zoom” instead a reWith "zoom" being used to deliver lessons, instead of the actual class.,

Often teachers of formal English advise against starting a sentence with "because", nevertheless, you still see many, many instance of sentences that do start with it. When contrasting two different things you should generally use "instead of" however you can have just "instead" on its own at the end of a sentence. I think this sentence and the one after it should be concatenated into one sentence.

Therefore, she can manage have 3 class withinthis allows her to give three classes a day.

We also often simply say "a" instead of "per" when referring to one thing/item, simply because it's easier to say and comes more naturally I think.

That is 50%is increase ofs her income. by 50%.

The overall structure of your sentence is not wrong at all, just we usually use this structure "That's a 50% increase in her income" when we talk about only the topic of income, and not the reasons why the income is changing, however since you described beforehand why her income changed, I think this sentence structure is more appropriate.

If the school allows it, students can comes back and take clasin order to take lessons.

Did you mean "retake"? I didn't want to alter the meaning of your writing, so I left it as it is, I did wonder if you meant "retake" however.

So, what about in your casehow's the situation for you?

Your structure is not wrong, I just altered it to make it sound more like a native speaker, I hope this is ok.
