03 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. Everyday I thought about postcards. My holidays passed quickly, but I did not send 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!
明信片总是搅得我假日不得安宁。去年夏天,我去了意大利。 我参观了博物馆,还去了公园。 一位好客的服务员教了我几句意大利语,之后还借给我一本书。 我读了几行,但一个字也不懂。 我每天都想着明信片的事。假期过得真快,可我还没有给我的朋友们寄过一张明信片。 到了最后一天,我作出了一项重大决定。我早早起了床,买来了37张明信片。 我在房间里关了整整一天,却连一张明信片也没写成!
