New Concept English II - 22 (12/20/08)

A glass envelope


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.
