You're listening to Mr. English Podcast by Mr. English Podcast. Hi everyone. Welcome back to the Mr. English Podcast. I'm Jessica and I'm John and today we're sending a package. Don't worry, I'm not mailing myself. We'll learn real English you need at the post office. Make sure to like, subscribe, and practice speaking with us. John, who are you sending the package to? My cousin. It's his birthday. I'm sending him cookies, which I already ate half of. John, you're supposed to send the gift, not eat it. Hey, quality check. Very professional. Hello. How can I help you? Yes, please. I want to mail this box. Sure. What's inside the package? Um, what's left of some cookies? Do you want standard shipping or express shipping? What's the difference? Standard takes 5 to 7 days. Express takes 2 days but costs more. Oh, Jessica, should I be cheap or generous? Generous. It's his birthday. Okay. Express shipping. I'm becoming a good cousin today. Great. Please write the recipient's name and address on this form. How do you spell apartment? There are too many letters. A P A R T M E N T. You're welcome. And I'll need your return address as well. My return address in case the cookies want to come home. No, John. In case the mail can't be delivered. Oh, that makes more sense. Okay, the total is $12. Here's your shipping label and receipt. Great. When will it arrive? In about 2 days. Perfect. His birthday is in 3 days. Finally. I'm not late for once. Miracles do happen. Package/parcel. The box you send. Standard shipping. Slow but cheap. Express shipping. Fast but more expensive. Recipient. The person receiving the package. Return address. Your address. Shipping label. Sticker with address. receipt. Proof of payment. Repeat after me. Line one, I'd like to send a package. Line two, do you have express shipping? Line three, what's the delivery time? Line four, I need to fill out the form. Line five, here is my return address. Great job. Your pronunciation is getting better. One time I mailed a letter, but I forgot to put a stamp. It came back to me like a boomerang. Well, I once sent a package to the wrong street. The neighbor delivered it back to me. So, basically, we're both bad at mailing things. Exactly. Oh, wait. I forgot to weigh your package. It's okay. It's lighter now because I ate half the cookies. Sir, that's not how this works. John, next time just buy two boxes or buy one, eat it, and pretend it was the plan. No. Thanks for listening to episode 21 of the Mr. English Podcast. See you in the next episode and don't forget your stamp.
