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 ward.
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!
