AT THE POST-OFFICE

Read and translate the text:

At the post office

If you want to buy stamps, postcards, envelopes, to send a telegram or money order, to subscribe to newspapers or magazines, you have to go to the post-office.

At some post-offices there is a special window where you may pay your rent, telephone, gas and electricity bills.

Yesterday I had to send a parcel to my friend in another city. So I went to the nearest post-office. I handed the package to the clerk at the window marked "Parcel Post." She weighed it and I paid for the stamps which she stuck on the package.

Then I went to the next window marked "Stamps." I had to queue up there. When my turn came, I bought writing paper, envelopes and a few stamps. I sat down at a desk and wrote a letter. When the letter, was ready, I wrote the address on the envelope, stuck a stamp on it and dropped it into the nearest letter-box.

Read and render the dialogue:

Сustоmer: I want to send this parcel to Kiev. How much will it cost?

Clerk: I shall weigh it and tell you how much to pay.

Сustоmer:All right.

Clerk: One rouble.

Сustоmer:Now give me three envelopes, five postcards and three four-copeck stamps, please.

Clerk: That makes one ghryvnya and forty-seven copecks in all.

Customer: Here you are, thank you.
