Lesson 3 Please send me a card 請給我寄一張明信片

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!

明信片總攪得我假日不得安寧。去年夏天，我去了意大利。我參觀了博物館，還去了公園。一位好客的服務(wù)員教了我?guī)拙湟獯罄Z，之后還借給我一本書。我讀了幾行，但一個字也不懂。我每天都想著明信片的事。假期過得真快，可我還沒有給我的朋友們寄過一張明信片。到了最后一天，我作出了一項重大決定。我早早起了床，買來了37張明信片。我在房間里關(guān)了整整一天。然而竟連一張明信片也沒寫成！
