Post

You know about the post office and postman. They help to send our letters
and parcels to other people in different places. We can buy a letter or

postcard from the post office, write our message on it, write the address of
the recipient and put it in the letter-box. We

can also write our message on a plain paper,
put it in an envelope, buy stamps from the
post office, affix stamps on the envelope and

put it in the letter-box. After this, the post
office and postman help us send it.

These days, there are many courier

companies which also deliver letters and
parcels on our behalf. They are a little

costlier.

We can also send money to other people through a post office. This service
is called money order .
