This document provides information about sending packages via airmail. It includes two role plays: one at a post office and one discussing online delivery. In the first role play, a student wants to send a fragile birthday gift to their sister in New York on time. They visit the post office and the employee asks about the destination, deadline, and fragility. They determine express mail for $20 will deliver in two days and fragile items need careful wrapping. The second role play discusses online shopping delivery. Partners ask each other about purchase experiences, common online items, ease and safety of online orders, and potential delivery problems. They share conclusions on online delivery options.
