请给我寄一张明信片
First listen and then answer the question.
听录音，然后回答以下问题。
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. Everyday 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。假期过得真快，可我还没有给我的朋友们寄过一张明信片。到了最后一天，我作出了一项重大决定。我早早起了床，买来了37张明信片。我在房间里关了整整一天。然而竟连一张明信片也没写成！
Lesson 3 Please send me a card
★New words and expressions
☆send v.寄
寄信：send a letter
用法：send sth to sb/send sb sth
类似的用法还有give,take,pass,read,sell...
send/take children to school
区别：take：强调某人亲自送；
send则是通过第三人去送，如美国的校车
本课重点：双宾语
双宾语指直接宾语（表示动作结果）和间接宾语（表示动作目标）
如在give sb sth中，sb是间接宾语，sth是直接宾语
如果不是为了以后讲语法，不用分清什么是间接宾语，什么是直接宾语，只需把用法记住即可。
间接宾语在后面时，其前必须加to（对……而做，翻译为“给”）或for（为……而做，翻译为“替”）
可以翻译为“给”，“替”，“为”的，就用for；如果只能翻译为“给”就以用to
give a book to me;I buy a book for you.
总结：用for的词：buy,order,make,find
Do me a favor please.=Do a favor for me.
☆postcard n.明信片
[注意]/t/和/k/前者失去爆破音
简写为card，由此引申出：
namecard/visiting card:名片
ID card:身份证
credit card:信用卡
cash card
☆spoil(spoiled or spoilt) v.使索然无味，损坏(重点词）
几种破坏：
打破玻璃用break；
damage:破坏，但是程度不一定很重；
destroy：破坏，彻底摧毁；
以上三个是指物理上的破坏，而spoil主要指精神上
spoil:把东西的质量变得不好了；生活中不顺心的事。
1.宠坏。His parents spoiled the boy.
2.毁了某人心情。His arrival spoiled my holiday.
☆museum n.博物馆
那么多博物馆一定要记住我们的Palace Museum(故宫）哦
☆public adj.公共的
这个词我们在第一课见过了，基本用法和private一起记。下面再说两点：
1.public house简称pub：酒吧
2.in public:公开的；in private:私下里的
☆friendly adj.友好的
以-ly结尾是形容词，同样的还有lovely
friendly单独用，一般做宾语来用
作为状语表示这个人做什么事情很友好，用短语in a friendly way
☆waiter n.服务员，招待员
waiter(男服务员），waitress（女服务员），只出现在餐馆里
领班：chief waiter
商店里的店员：shop assistant
其他公共场所的服务员:attendant
☆lend v.借给 lend to
借进：borrow borrow from
☆decision n.决定
make a big/great decision
v.decide
☆whole adj.整个的
the whole...
all the...
all of后面如果加代词，代词前面不需要修饰词
一旦要加名词，前面一定要加the
all of us;all of the students

☆语言不可数，所以要用a little Italian或a few words of Italian
☆think about/of 考虑，思考，think of还可指想到
think over:仔细考虑
What do you think of the weather today?
冷：cold,chilly（凛冽），freeze:I'll freeze.（冻僵）
☆last summer里的last表示“上一个”
the last day里的last表示“最后一个”，表示“最后一个”时要加冠词the，这时前面要加介词
☆spend+时间+地点
eg:I spent three hours in the sea.
I spend a lot of time in traffic jam.(交通堵塞）
