Lesson 3



Please send me a card



First listen and then answer the question.



How many cards did the writer send?



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!
