Lesson 3 Please send me a card


Postcards always spoil my holidays. Last summer, I went to Italy. I

visited museums and sat in public gardens. A friendly waiter taught me

a few words of Italian. Then he lent me a book. I read a few lines, but

I did not understand a word. Every day I thought about postcards. My

holidays passed quickly, but I did not send any cards to my friends. On

the last day I made a big decision. I got up early and bought thirty-

seven cards. I spent the whole day in my room, but I did not write a

single card!
