English at the Post Office: Sending Letters & Packages | 20 Mins English Daily (Slow English)

English at the Post Office: Sending Letters & Packages (20 Minutes) | Slow & Clear American English (A1-A2) Grab your pen and find an envelope! In this immersive Audio Story, we join Ben and Anna on a rainy afternoon as they complete two important tasks: writing a handwritten letter to a grandmother and packing a fragile birthday gift. We follow every step of the process—from the scratch of the fountain pen on paper to the satisfying thud of the mailbox slot. This video is designed as a "Slow English" experience. Unlike fast-paced daily life, we describe every sensory detail—the crinkle of the bubble wrap, the screech of the packing tape, and the hum of the busy post office queue. It is perfect for beginners who need time to process every word. 📦 Spoken in very slow, clear American English (Level A1–A2). If you want to learn vocabulary for mailing, understand shipping questions, or feel confident visiting a post office abroad, this video is for you. 📚 IN THIS LESSON, YOU WILL LEARN: Mailing Verbs: Essential action words for the post office: write, fold, seal, pack, weigh, stamp, ship. Stationery & Tools: Vocabulary for sending items (envelope, fountain pen, bubble wrap, cardboard box, tape gun). Post Office Navigation: Words for the location (queue, counter, scale, slot, express shipping). Process & Order: How to follow the steps of mailing (addressing the letter, weighing the package, paying for postage). 🎬 VIDEO CHAPTERS & STORY GUIDE: 00:14 – The Letter & The Desk. Ink & Paper. We sit at a cozy wooden desk to write a letter by hand, focusing on the texture of the cream-colored paper and the taste of the envelope glue. 04:30 – Packing the Box. Bubble Wrap & Tape. The loud part! We protect a fragile coffee mug by rolling it in bubble wrap, stuffing the box with newspaper, and sealing it with sticky tape. 08:41 – The Queue & The Scale. Waiting & Weighing. We enter the busy post office, take a number, and place our heavy box on the digital scale to check the weight. 13:06 – The Stamp & The Drop. Adhesive & The Slot. The final step. We stick a beautiful flower stamp on the corner of the envelope and drop the letter into the metal slot. 📝 KEY VOCABULARY TO LISTEN FOR: Fragile (adjective): Something delicate that can break easily (like glass or ceramic). Queue (noun): A line of people waiting for their turn (at a store, bank, or post office). Postage (noun): The money you pay to send a letter or package through the mail system.

Visualizing: Close your eyes. When Ben describes the "high-pitched screech of the tape," try to create that sound and image in your mind. Shadowing: Pause the video during Chapter 3. Practice saying the transaction phrases ("Express shipping, please") out loud along with Ben. 🗣️ DISCUSSION OF THE DAY: We want to hear from you!
