Lesson 3 Please send me a card 请给我寄一张明信片
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. Every day 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!
参考译文
明信片总搅得我假日不得安宁。

去年夏天，我去了意大利。

我参观了博物馆，还去了公园。

一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。

我每天都想着明信片的事。
