Unit 2. Part 11. At the post office.

Dialogue 1.

W: I would like to send this package to the US.

M: Do you want to send it by sea or air?

W: How long will it take by sea?

M: About 2 to 3 months.

W: Oh, I will send it by air then.

Dialogue 2.

W: I want to send this package by first class mail.

M: Do you want it insured?

W: Yes, for 50 dollars, please. I’d also like some stamps.

M: You will have to get those at the stamp window over there next to general delivery.

W: Can I get money orders there, too?

M: No, that’s to the left.

Dialogue 3.

W: I’d like to mail this letter to China by certified mail.

M: You can’t send a letter overseas by certified mail. If you want you can register it.

W: How much does it cost to mail a registered letter to China?

M: It’s 6 dollars.

W: It will take longer for a registered letter to arrive at its destination. Is that right?

M: That’s correct.

W: Well, to be on the safe side I guess I will register it.

M: All right. Fill out this form, please.

Dialogue 4.

W: I want to send this package parcel post registered.

M: What does it contain?

W: There are books and manuscripts.

M: That will be 40 cents. Here are your stamps.

W: Thanks.

M: Wait a second, Miss.

W: Yes?

M: You forgot to put the return address on the package.

W: Oh, sorry. I will put it on right now.

M: Now, here is your receipt.
