對話

A: Yes, sir, can I help you?

B: Hi, how are you?

A: Pretty good, how about yourself?

B: Excellent. I’d like to send this letter to China

A: To China, OK. How soon would you like it to be there, sir?

B: What are my options?

A: OK, take a look at the screen right here. Just a moment. Here we go.

If you send it by global express, it is $19.00. If you send it by global

priority, that will be $5.00. If you send it normal airmail, it costs eighty

cents.

B: Well, let’s go cheap. I don’t have a lot of money.

A: That’s C80.00. We can do it. Would you like a stamp on it or a meter

B: Stamp.

B: Thank you.

A: Here are a couple of 40 cent stamps. Just go ahead and put them on if

you would like.
