W: How can I help you?

M: I’d like to send this package to China.

W: Would you like to send it surface or airmail?

M. What’s the difference between surface and airmail?

W: If you send the parcel with surface email, it will take about 2 months to arrive, whereas with airmail, it will arrive in 7-10 days.

M: That’s a big difference. I suppose airmail will be much more expensive. How much will it cost to send it airmail?

W: That depends on the weight. Place it on the scale, please.

M: OK.

W: That’s 500 grams. It will cost 10 pounds for airmail.

M: That’s not bad. I’ll do that then. Does that include insurance on the contents of the parcel or is that a separate payment?

W: That’s separate. It’s another 5 pounds.

M: OK.

M: Oh, dear…

W: Okay, what color are her eyes?

M: Um, well, sort of, she isn’t very big, but she’s not particularly small. That’ll be medium then.

M: Good, I’ll take it. Thank you. How much is it?

W: That’s 70 pounds, sir. How would you like to pay?

M: Here you are. Goodbye.

M: I couldn’t live in a city. I love the outdoor life. It’s a hard life, but I’ve never missed a single day’s work through illness and I’m sixty-nine years old. With the new tractor, I have a bit more time on my hands, hut I still get up at five o’clock every morning and feed the animals before breakfast. In the daytime, I care about my plants and remember to water them in time. M eldest son gives me a hand at weekends, but I still do most of the work myself, you know you’re living when you’re outdoors. That makes me healthy. I breathe the fresh air and eat healthy vegetables. I seldom go to see the doctor.
