My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle into the sea. She never thought of it again, but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland. Both girls write to each other regularly now. However, they have decided to use the post office. Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.

My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland. Last year, we were travelling across the Channel and Jane put a piece of paper with her name and address on it into a bottle. She threw the bottle into the sea.

我女儿简从没想过，会收到荷兰一位同龄女孩的来信。 去年，我们乘船横渡英吉利海峡。简把一张写着姓名和地址的纸放进瓶子，扔进了海里。 她后来就把这件事忘了，可十个月后，她竟收到了一位荷兰女孩的来信。 现在，两个女孩经常互相写信。 不过，她们决定还是通过邮局寄信。虽然要多花一点邮费，但信肯定能送得更快。
学完这一课
先沿这条线复述《玻璃信封》：没想到会有回信 → 把地址扔进海里 → 十个月后的惊喜 → 成了固定笔友 → 改用邮局通信。再借一个结构讲自己的事：从本课挑一个活动，把它放进 I enjoy…，再换成自己真正喜欢做的事。
