Amber goes to the Post Office to buy stamps for the letter she has just written. It’s really not so different from what she is used to back home! Clerk: Good afternoon, miss. How can I help you? Amber: Good afternoon. I’d like to send a letter to China. How much does it cost? Clerk: We’ll need to weigh it first. (Weighs the letter) It would be $2.10. Would you like insurance on the contents of your letter? Amber: No, this letter is nothing special. Just a letter to my mom. Here’s a 5. (Hands the clerk the money) About how long do you think it’ll take to get to China? Clerk: About a week. Your change is $2.90. Amber: thank you very much. Clerk: Thank you for choosing the United States Postal Service. Have a nice day. Amber刚写完一封信,她来到邮局买了些邮票准备把信寄出去。这和她所习惯的中国邮寄方式并没有太大的区别。 Clerk:下午好,小姐,我可以帮助你吗? Amber:下午好,我想寄封信到中国要多少钱?
