This document provides information about sending packages via airmail. It includes a warmup activity reviewing key vocabulary words. Then, it outlines two role-play activities - one at a post office inquiring about sending a fragile package abroad, and another discussing online shopping delivery experiences. Students are given roles and questions to guide conversations in pairs. Tables provide delivery options and costs for the post office role-play. The document aims to teach students how to talk about sending products by airmail or online.
