Lesson 3 Please send me a card

Text

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 holiday pasted quickly,but I didn't 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, I did not write a single card!
