Original Prompt

what is a postcard

A postcard is a unique card designed for sending messages through the mail without an envelope. The front features eye-catching images such as photographs of landmarks or artistic illustrations, which visually convey a story or memory. The back is divided into two sections: the left side is dedicated for a personal message, while the right side is reserved for the recipient's address and postage. People often send postcards during vacations, for holidays, or simply to keep in touch. This resource not only explains the components of a postcard but also encourages imaginative writing by prompting readers to compose their own postcard message.
