Percakapan berbahasa inggris di kantor pos – Package for My Auntie
Fani : Hey there, Rita!
Rita : Huh? Hey, Fani!
Fani : Hey, Rita. You want to send letters from here?
Rita : Yeah. I’m going to send some letters and documents for my brother in Bandung. Are you going to send something too, Fani?
Fani : Yes. I’m going to send this package for my auntie.
Rita : Where will you send that to?
Fani : To my auntie’s house in Bekasi.
Rita : What’s inside the package anyway?
Fani : Um… it’s just some tailoring stuffs. My auntie needs them to work on her tailor.
Rita : I see. It doesn’t look heavy.
Fani : Yes, it’s quite light. Um…. but, I have a little problem, Rita.
Rita : Huh? What’s the matter?
Fani : It’s my first time to send a package through post office. I don’t really know what I should do to get this package sent to my auntie’s house. Do you mind to help me what to do, Rita?
Rita : Ha ha ha. Don’t be that worried, Fani. It’s really a simple one. All you need to do is go straight to the counter clerk there and tell the clerk you want to send the package. Then you just need to pick out some of your money to pay for it, and your package will be sent right into your auntie’s address. If there is anything you need, the clerk will tell you. Done. That’s all.
Fani : Very well. I think that’s quite simple. Okay, thank you, Rita. I’ll go to the counter now.
Rita : Alright
