Lesson 22



A glass envelope



First listen and then answer the question.



How did Jane receive a letter from a stranger?



My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland.



Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle.



She threw the bottle into the sea.



She never thought of it again,



but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland.



Both girls write to each other regularly now.



However, they have decided to use the post office.



Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.
