When you put a letter into a post-box,do you know what will happen to it? First of all, a postman will come in a van to collect all the mail from it.The mail is collected at fixed times, usually once in the afternoon. These collection times are shown on each post-box. The van will then take the mail to the nearest post office. The mail to places in the same district will be put together. A machine will chop the stamps so that they cannot be used again.Then postman will arrange the letters into bundles and pack them into their postbags. The work of a postman is not easy. He often has to get up very early. He has to work outdoors in all weathers. He must be strong in order to carry his heavy postbag. He sometimes has to read bad writing. Can you read the address on this envelope? It is very difficult for postmen to deliver mail quickly and correctly when addresses are not written clearly. Do you know the proper way to send a letter? If you are writing to someone in Hong Kong, you should use a white envelope. If you want to send a letter to a country outside Hong Kong, you should use an envelope bordered by red and blue stripes. Also you should write the name and address clearly and correctly on the envelope. Letters and small parcels can be posted in post-boxes or at a post office. However, you must take large parcels to a post office. It costs more to send a heavy parcel than a light one. It is also more expensive to send overseas.
