Often the simplest events in one culture can cause frustration when a person tries to do the same thing in another culture. Mailing a letter is one example, so I’d like to tell you how the postal service works in many parts of the United States. People should realize, however, that these services may differ from region to region and from city to city, depending upon the area’s population, climate, and needs.
Specifically, I’d like to discuss how people who live in rural areas send and receive mail. Most people in rural areas have a mailbox at the end of the garden next to the street. When they want to send a letter, they put a stamp or stamps with the correct amount of postage on the envelope, put the letter in the mailbox, and raise the small red metal flag attached to it. This tells the mail carrier that there is a letter inside to be mailed. After picking up your letter, the mail carrier leaves any letters for the person inside the box and lowers the red flag.
People who have a small mailbox on the wall next to the front door don’t have a red flag; they stand their letters up, so the mail carrier can see them. Of course, letters can always be waited at the post office or dropped in large mailboxes usually located on street corners.
Some mail carriers drive a small mail truck, especially when the houses are far apart. In residential areas mail carriers carry a special bag and deliver the mail on foot.
Finally, mailing items from home is often limited to letters and very small packages. Go directly to the post office if you have bigger items to mail because they need special handling. [br] Large mailboxes are usually located______.

on street corners.
