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!

明信片总搅得我假

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

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。然而竟
连一张明信片也没写成！
