5:04Everything went well.
5:06Now I'm going back home.
5:08Thank you for learning with me.
5:11See you in the next lesson.
5:13Goodbye.
5:17>> Now let's practice the English from
5:21today's post office lesson.
5:24Imagine that you have a package at home.
5:28You want to send it to a friend.
5:32You ride your bicycle to the post
5:34office, speak with a postal worker, ask
5:39a few questions, fill out a form,
5:43pay for the shipping, and get a tracking
5:47number.
5:48Today, we are going to practice the most
5:52useful English for this situation.
5:56Listen carefully. I will speak slowly.
6:01After each sentence, take a short pause
6:05and repeat it aloud.
6:07Do not worry about speaking perfectly.
6:11Take your time. Speak clearly.
6:15Let's begin.
6:18First, let's learn the main vocabulary.
6:23A package is something you send to
6:26another person.
6:28Package.
6:30Repeat. Package.
6:34I have a package.
6:38I need to send a package.
6:43A parcel is another word for a package.
6:48Parcel.
6:51A letter is something you send in an
6:55envelope.
6:56Letter.
6:59Envelope.
7:01An envelope is the paper container for a
7:06letter.
7:09A stamp is a small piece of paper that
7:13you put on a letter or envelope before
7:17sending it.
7:18Stamp.
7:21I need a stamp.
7:25An address tells the post office where
7:29the package or letter needs to go.
7:33Address.
7:35What is the address?
7:39Is this the correct address?
7:44A postal worker is a person who works at
7:49the post office.
7:51Postal worker.
7:54The postal worker can help me.
7:58A scale is used to check how heavy a
8:03package is.
8:05Scale.
8:07Please put the package on the scale.
8:13Shipping means sending something from
8:16one place to another.
8:19Shipping.
8:22What is the shipping?
8:26Standard shipping is a normal delivery
8:30service.
8:31Standard shipping.
8:35Express shipping is a faster delivery
8:39service.
8:41Express shipping.
8:44A tracking number helps you follow your
8:48package after you send it.
8:51Tracking number.
8:54Can I have a tracking number?
8:59A receipt is the paper that shows
9:03information about your payment and
9:06shipment.
9:08Receipt.
9:11Here is your receipt.
9:15Keep the receipt.
9:19Now you know the most important words
9:21for today's lesson. Let's use them in
9:24complete sentences.
9:27Sending a package.
9:29Imagine you are standing at the post
9:32office.
9:33You have a package in your hands.
9:35You walk to the counter. You want to
9:38speak politely. You can say,
9:40"Hello.
9:41Good morning.
9:44I'm here to send a package.
9:49I would like to send this package,
9:50please.
9:54I need to send this package today."
9:59Now imagine the postal worker asks you
10:02to put your package on the scale. You
10:04can say,
10:05"Sure.
10:08Okay.
10:10No problem."
10:12Please remember these simple responses.
10:15They are very useful in everyday
10:17English.
10:19Now you want to know how much the
10:21shipping will cost. You can ask,
10:25"How much does it cost?
10:29How much is the shipping?
10:34How much does it cost to send this
10:36package?
10:40Can you tell me the price, please?"
10:45These are polite and natural ways to ask
10:48about the price.
10:49Now repeat. "How much does it cost?
10:55How much is the shipping?"
10:59Choosing a shipping option.
11:02Sometimes the postal worker will give
11:04you different options. For example,
11:07standard shipping,
11:11express shipping.
11:15Standard shipping is usually slower.
11:18Express shipping is usually faster.
11:21Listen to this question.
11:23"Would you like standard or express
11:26shipping?"
11:30You can answer,
11:31"I'll choose standard shipping, please."
11:36Or,
11:38"I'd like express shipping, please."
11:42If you don't understand the difference,
11:45you can ask, "What is the difference?"
11:50"Could you explain the difference,
11:52please?"
11:55That is a very useful sentence when you
11:58need more information.
12:00Now you want to know when the package
12:03will arrive. You can ask, "How long will
12:06it take?"
12:10"How long does standard shipping take?"
12:15"When will the package arrive?"
12:21"When will it get there?"
12:25The postal worker may say, "It usually
12:29takes 5 to 7 business days."
12:35Now repeat, "It usually takes 5 to 7
12:40business days."
12:44If you understand, you can say, "Okay,
12:48that sounds good."
12:51"That's fine."
12:54"Thank you."
12:57Sometimes you need to fill out a form
13:00before sending your package. You can
13:03ask, "Do I need to fill out this form?"
13:10"Where should I write the address?"
13:15"Where should I sign?"
13:19"Can you help me with this form?"
13:25If the postal worker helps you, you can
13:28say, "Thank you for your help."
13:33"I understand now."
13:38"That's very helpful."
13:43Before you send your package, it is
13:45important to check the address. You can
13:48ask, "Is this the correct address?"
13:54"Does this look right?"
13:59"Does everything correct?"
14:04"I want to make sure it gets there."
14:10This last sentence is especially useful.
14:14Repeat. "I want to make sure it gets
14:17there."
14:21After you pay for the shipping, you can
14:24ask for a tracking number. Listen
14:27carefully. "Can I have a tracking
14:30number?"
14:34"Could I have a tracking number,
14:36please?"
14:40"How can I track my package?"
14:45"Where can I track it?"
14:50The postal worker may say, "You can
14:53track it online."
14:58"You can use this tracking number."
15:04"Keep this receipt."
15:09Now repeat. "I can track my package
15:12online."
15:16And ask for the receipt.
15:21A receipt is important because it gives
15:24you information about your shipment. You
15:27can say, "Can I have a receipt, please?"
15:34Could I have my receipt, please?
15:40Thank you for the receipt.
15:46I'll keep it safe.
15:51Now, let's practice a full conversation.
15:57Imagine you are Sarah.
16:02You are at the post office.
16:06The postal worker is ready to help you.
16:11Listen carefully and repeat each
16:14sentence.
16:17Postal worker.
16:19Hello. Good morning.
16:24Sarah.
16:25Good morning.
16:28Postal worker.

16:35Sarah.
16:37I'm here to send a package.

17:13Postal worker.
17:16Would you like standard or express
17:20shipping?
17:23Sarah
17:25What is the difference?
17:29Postal worker
17:32Standard shipping is slower, but it
17:35costs less.
17:39Sarah
17:41And how long will it take?
17:46Postal worker
17:49It usually takes 5 to 7 business days.
17:56Sarah

18:34Postal worker

18:58Can I pay by card?

20:11>> Sarah.
20:13You too. Goodbye.
20:18>> Now practice without the conversation.

24:36You have now practiced the most useful
24:39English for visiting a post office and
24:42sending a package.
24:44You learned how to talk about packages,
24:47addresses, stamps, shipping, delivery
24:51times, forms, payments, receipts, and
24:55tracking numbers.
24:56You also practiced how to ask questions
24:59politely and how to respond with simple,
25:03natural English.
25:05Remember, you do not need to speak
25:08quickly. Speak slowly, speak clearly,
25:12and practice these sentences again
25:14tomorrow. The more you repeat them, the
25:17more comfortable they will become.
25:20Keep practicing your English every day.
