Has anyone in your Learning Circle ever used the post office? This time, Muna needs to send a package, but she doesn’t know which service to choose. We look at some useful phrases for posting things and asking about times and prices.
Sending a package at the post office
Muna wants to post a package, but there are too many choices. With your group, discuss the questions and try the activity.
Desk clerk
Hello. What can I do for you?
Muna
I’d like to send a package, please.
Desk clerk
Put it on the scales.
Muna
Here?
Desk clerk
Yep. Where do you want to send it?
Muna
Somalia.
Desk clerk
How do you want it sent? International? Tracked? Standard? Economy?
Muna

Discuss these questions with your group:
- Has this ever happened to you? (When? Where? What happened?)
- What would you do?
