【录音原文】
M: Give me a pack of first-class stamps, please.
W: Here you are. That will be five dollars. Anything rise?
M: Yes, I want some postcards and some foreign airmail stamps. I want to send letters to South America.
W: Just a moment, I’ll look up the rate for airmail letters to South America.
M: Can you tell me how much it will cost to send a package to Colombia? Also, I want to know how long it will take.
W: Do you have the package with you? I would have to weigh it to see how much it would cost. There are several ways to send packages to foreign countries. The fastest way costs the most, of course. I’ll give you an example. If you had a two-pound package and you wanted to send it the fastest way, it would cost about six dollars, and it would take about a week to get there.
M: Do you insure packages?
W: Yes. All you have to do is declare the value. Of the package and decide how much you want to insure it for. The rates are reasonable.
M: Is there a way I can be sure that the people in South America receive my package?
W: The post office rarely loses a package. You can, however, request a return receipt. With a return, when the delivery person gives your friend the package, your friend has to sign for it. Then we will notify you that he or she has it.
M: What about these overnight delivery services I see advertised on television?
W: They’re usually as good as the post office, but they may cost more. Also, remember that they only have service within the United States.
M: Thank you, you helped me a lot.

3. Will the man send the package using the overnight delivery services and why?
