All large cities around the world have many post offices located throughout the city, and even the smallest village has at least one postal station. You may go to a post office to mail a letter. However, there are mail boxes located on every second or third corner in all cities and towns.

　　Any letter or small package having sufficient postage may be dropped in any of these mail boxes. If a person wishes a letter to be delivered more quickly to the address, he may buy a special delivery stamp and delivery is made directly by the messenger instead of by the regular carrier.

世界上所有的大城市都布满了邮局，就算是小城市也至少会有一个邮局。你可以去邮局寄信。但是，在所有城市和城镇的每两三个角落就会有邮筒。
任何表面有邮票的信或者小的包裹都会被放到邮筒里。如果你想信寄的快一点的话，你可以买特殊的邮票，这样它就会被常规的运送者直接送到那个人手上。
