Imagine being ill and receiving millions of greetings cards from people all over the world. This is what happened to nine-year-old Craig Shergold when he got cancer in 1989. Craig got into the Guinness World Records after receiving 19 million cards in a year – the most greetings cards sent to a single person.
The tradition of sending greetings cards began in Ancient China and Egypt. The Chinese sent New Year’s cards and the Egyptians wrote messages on papyrus. Europeans didn’t send greetings cards until centuries later. In the early 1400s, for example, the Germans sent notes to each other on New Year’s Day. In addition, in the middle of the 15th century, Europeans began making paper cards to send on Valentine’s Day. These cards were individually made and were often brought by messenger, because there weren’t organised postal services. This process often took a long time and wasn’t cheap. Then, in the 19th century, new machines and organised postal services made it easier and cheaper to produce and send cards. This was the beginning of the greetings card industry.
People still buy greetings cards in shops. They are a great way to keep in touch with family and friends. There are many different types of greetings cards. They may have messages like “Merry Christmas”, “Happy Birthday” or “Congratulations”. Sometimes, there is a poem included in the card and people often write personal messages, too.
Today, however, many people choose greetings cards from Internet websites. These cards are often free and don’t cost money to send. Some are animated and many have got songs as well. If you’re worried about the environment, an online card saves paper, too!
Despite the advantages of Internet cards, paper greetings cards probably won’t disappear. Perhaps we won’t be buying quite as many cards, but there will always be people who prefer paper cards. The next time you want to send a greetings card, will you buy a paper card or use the Internet?
1. Find the following information.
1. the type of illness Craig had …………………
2. the number of cards he received in one year …………………
3. the two countries which had the first greetings cards ………………… ,
…………………
4. two examples of messages on greetings cards ……………………… ,
………………………
5. how much it costs to send cards on the Internet …………………

2. Answer the questions.

1. What record did Craig break?
2. Why were the European cards expensive?
3. Why was it cheaper to send cards in the 1800s?
3. What are four advantages of online greetings cards?

4. Find words or phrases in the text to match the definitions below.
1.entered (lines 1-4)
2.one individual (lines 1-4)
3.a thick paper-like material (lines 5-14)
4.someone who delivers a message (lines 4-14)
5.a piece of writing, often with rhythm or rhyme (lines 15-18)
