## The post office (1)

Snail mail versus email
Have a look at the image.

- What do you think it is?
- What do you think it tries to say?

In English, post that is delivered by the postman is sometimes called snail mail.

- Any idea what snail means?
- Any idea why snail mail is used for post delivered by the postman?

Before you start listening discuss with a classmate:

1. How often do you write letters?
2. How much does a stamp cost in the Netherlands? And for letters to Europe? And for letters outside Europe?
3. Where do you go if you want to post a letter?
4. Do you ever receive post?

Now you are going to listen to Laura who talks about post in her life in Hong Kong. The first time you listen, answer the questions.
