best answer a,b,c,or d.

from it.The mail is collected at fixed times,usually once in the
afternoon.These collection times are shown on each
postbox.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.

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.

writing to someone in Hong Kong,you should use a white
envelope.If you want to send a letter to a country outside Hong

correctly on the envelope.Letters and small parcels can be
