Post Office
There are post-offices in every town and nearly every village or a settlement. In our city we have the General Post-Office and a lot of post-offices whose officials do their ordinary jobs patiently and devotedly. As a rule the Post-office has many duties and has hundreds of thousands officials: postmasters who are in charge of post-offices, post-office clerks and a lot of postmen and officials. It is the postman who brings many items of news to everybody, going round from house to house, and dropping the letters into our letter-box.

The Post-Office not only delivers and sends letters and other mail, but it controls the telegraphs and telephones. It issues postage-stamps in honour of every significant event or making the memory of outstanding personalities in the country and in the world. Besides, it sells you postal orders (money orders). If you want to cash a money order take your passport with you. If you want to send a wire just ask for a telegraph form at the counter and fill it in. A wire reaches the addressee in some hours. If you want to post an ordinary letter or a postcard you needn’t go to the post-office, you can drop it into the nearest pillar-box. And very soon the postman will deliver your letter or postcard to the addressees.

The other day I went to the General Post-Office, because I had to send a parcel to my aunt and buy some postcards, envelopes and stamps. As the post-office offers many services, for instance, it pays pensions and family allowances, issues licenses for televisions and radios, sells stamps either separately or in booklets with several stamps of various values, makes trunk calls, there are various counters there: General Delivery, Parcel Post, Money Orders, Stamps, Post Cards, Registered Letters, Air Mail and Book Post. First I directed my steps to the Parcel Post counter. I handed my parcel to the clerk, she weighed it on the scales, gave me necessary stamps and I paid money for it. You see, the amount that you have to pay depends on the weight of the parcel. After that I went to the Post Cards counter and bought some postcards there. 

I quite forgot to tell you that I had had a conversation with a friend of mine who lived in another town. I came into the call-box, put a coin in the slot, then took up the receiver. When I heard the dialing tone indicating that nothing was wrong on the line, I dialed my friend’s number, and could speak to him. When I finished speaking on the phone, I replaced the receiver.
