Amber goes to the Post Office to buy stamps for the letter she has just written. It's really not so different from what she is used to back home!
Clerk: Good afternoon, miss. How can I help you?
Amber: Good afternoon. I'd like to send a letter to China. How much does it cost?
Clerk: We'll need to weigh it first. (Weighs the letter) It would be $2.10. Would you like insurance on the contents of your letter?
Amber: No, this letter is nothing special. Just a letter to my mom. Here's a 5. (Hands the clerk the money) About how long do you think it'll take to get to China?
Clerk: About a week. Your change is $2.90.
Amber: thank you very much.
Clerk: Thank you for choosing the United States Postal Service. Have a nice day.
