THE POST OFFICE

The General Post Office and local post offices have many duties. They not only deliver letters, telegrams, newspapers and magazines, but, among other things, they pay out old age pensions, “subscribe to periodicals and take and deliver parcels. Inside the post office is a long counter divided into departments for parcels, stamps, registered and air-mail letters, telegrams, money-order, etc.

There is a post-box in all post offices, or you can drop your letters and postcards into one of the familiar red and blue post-boxes attached to some houses in the street.

There are several collections a day and your letter will soon reach the addressee.

Do you want to send a telegram? Just ask for a telegram form at the post office counter or take one fr om the box in the small compartments provided for the writing of telegrams and fill it in.

Perhaps you want to buy a stamp or a stamped envelope to send a letter, then you go to the counter wh ere they sell postcards, envelopes, blocks of stamps and stamps of different denominations, or get them from the slot machine.

When we have written a letter we sign it, fold it up and put it in an envelope. We stick down the flap, write the address of both the addressee and stick on a stamp in the upper right-hand corner. Don't forget to write the mailing code - it includes the index number and the post office number which serves the addressee.

If your letter contains anything valuable, it is a good idea to register it. When you register a letter the clerk gives you a receipt and you pay the registration fee.

If you go to the post office to send off a parcel you will have the parcel weighed at the parcel-counter. You may also have your parcel insured if you want to declare its value.

At the post office you can send money by post. You should fill in a money-order form stating the name of the recipient or payer, his address, as well as the sender's address, and the sum of money you are sending. The clerk takes your money together with the money-order and gives you a receipt.
