Essay
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 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.
