Postcrossing(2014/6/23)

        Before I wsa a member of postcrossing, I had never thought I would receive letters from someone that I didn’t know. However, I have joined postcrossing for more than three months. I’ ve sent seven postcards to foreigners and received eight other ones from all over the world. This activity actually added many unforgettable memories to my life.

        In the beginning, I thought sent postcards was a trouble because it would take up my time, but when I sent the first one, I started to enjoy it. After that, I continue writing more postcards and liked waiting for other one’s reply. I was curious about what kinds of postcards I would get. I expected it everyday.

        I always took delight in receiving postcards. I had a lot of academic pressure, but the postcards from other countries always could reduce my stress and comfort me. Furthermore, I also could learn grammer and vocabulary from them. Once, a Singaporean girl written a long word which was‘‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’’ in the letter and let me guess what it means. I searched the answer on the Internet and finally knew it means‘‘unbelievable’’. How interesting it was! Sometimes I thought the content of postcards were so funny and let me learn more things.

        I was very lucky to learn the website of postcrossing. Because of it, my life was filled with expectation and fun. I could saw many beautiful pictures from evey colorful  postcard. I will continue to write more postcards in the future because this activity is so meaningful.

    I dropped my first postcard into wrong mailbox and didn't glue enough postage on it. Finally the postman sent it back my home.
