Every town in the United States has a post office. Some are very smalll, and you may find one in the corner
of a shop.Others are large buildings. They are open five days a week from Monday through Friday. They are
usually open from 8:30am to 4:30 pm.
if you know how much the postage (邮资) is for your letter, you can buy stamps at any window. In some
post offices you can buy stamps from machines. Stamps are sold at many different prices. From one cent to
many dollars. If you are not sure how much postage (邮资) is for your letter, you may ask the man or the
woman in the post office for help.He or she will give you the stamps you need. If you are sending your letters
far away, you shall use airmail envelopes (航空信封). Remember that postage (邮资) will be more expensive for
a letter to be sent outside the country.
At a post office you can also buy postcards. A postcard is cheaper than a letter. Usually the price of postage
(邮资) for a postcard is about half that of a letter. The postcards, however, are not to be sent outside the
country.
Letters are an easy and cheap way to keep in touch with people in many different countries.
