羽琛's Semester End Update (Postcrossing 2014)－菜老師的英文教室

Time flies. It has been three months since I first got on the website of Postcrossing.

In these few months, I have sent eleven postcards and received five other ones. As a matter of fact, I was very nervous after a month of starting this project because the first one I sent traveled more than one month and I was worried about having lost it. Fortunately, I got my first postcard from Moscow after one and half month of sending my first postcard, and it was unbelievable! Even though she did not write a lot on the postcard, I felt so exciting that I could not help thinking about it all the time only because it was from a country far from mine.

The day after that, I got my second postcard from China. This card was quite special for me on account that the owner of it was a high school student who wanted to travel to Taiwan after graduating. Getting a postcard from a person at my age was great. That made me feel I have more in common with her, and even with the world.

The most important of all, I would like to talk about a cute postcard, which is my favorite one so far. The back of it is a dog wearing a tie and a pair of glasses as well as gloves. Actually, I don’t like dogs. I am even a little afraid of dogs, but this postcard makes me think about keeping a cute dog. This card looks funny and I smile at it every time when I see it, even now. The owner of this card likes to write quotes, and what she wrote was “Dance as though no one is watching. Love as though you’ve never been hurt. Sing as though no one can hurt you. Live as though haven is on earth.” I consider this quote as a very positive one and I am glad to get such a cute postcard from such a positive person!

I think I will continue sending and getting postcards through this platform after I finish my homework. It is so interesting that I can not stop doing it even though my mom always ask my why I have to use the Internet so frequently. Keep going and happy postcrossing!
