[00:00.760]--- Lesson 22 A glass envelope
[00:06.440]--- First listen and then answer the question.
[00:12.720]--- How did Jane receive a letter from a stranger?
[00:19.560]My daughter, Jane, never dreamed of receiving a letter from a girl of her own age in Holland.
[00:29.000]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.
[00:40.640]She threw the bottle into the sea.
[00:45.000]She never thought of it again,
[00:47.840]but ten months later, she received a letter from a girl in Holland.
[00:54.720]Both girls write to each other regularly now.
[00:59.000]However, they have decided to use the post office.
[01:03.920]Letters will cost a little more, but they will certainly travel faster.
