The first is the postage. Postage can be found at the post office or online. Just look at the "letter" part (there are two lines), and don't worry about anything else. For example, compared with the previous groups, most of our letters are addressed to Europe. The postage of the third group is "20g 6 yuan, more than 20g per10g plus 1.8 yuan". For example, 18 grams is 6 yuan money, 24 grams is 7.8 yuan, 3 1 gram is 9.6 yuan, and so on. You'd better weigh this letter at the post office before sending it. Stamps are affixed with China stamps, and ordinary stamps are also acceptable. In order to avoid sticking too many small stamps, you can stick large stamps, such as three stamps from 2 yuan, which can be bought at the post office.
Followed by envelopes, envelopes buy international airmail envelopes, which are sold in every post office, generally 20 cents. Next, the knowledge you learned from junior high school finally came in handy. The recipient's address is written in the right middle of the envelope, and the sender's address is written in the upper left. The address of the recipient is written in English, and it is best to add the Chinese name after the country. The sender, that is, your own address, can be in both Chinese and English. If you write Chinese, you'd better go to China in the back. The writing of English address forms has been taught in junior high school and senior high school, and there are model essays in English textbooks and English dictionaries. English addresses are capitalized from small to large. For example, my address is mailbox 934 of Harbin Normal University in Heilongjiang Province, and the English writing is mailbox 934 of Harbin Normal University in Heilongjiang, China, 150025. My address is simple. If your address is complicated and difficult to translate, you'd better write it in Chinese.
Finally, talk about how to write letters in English. Of course, if you write to clubs in non-English speaking countries, such as Germany, it would be better to write a few words about Germany. But you know, English is universal, so you can write to any country. Write the contents of the letter at will, such as your admiration for him (her), his (her) recent situation, some words of support and encouragement, etc. Don't stand on ceremony. When you encounter new words that you don't understand, you can look them up in Chinese-English dictionaries and online, sometimes they are inaccurate. I don't think it's necessary to pay special attention to writing letters, because the other party simply doesn't have time to read them carefully, and answering letters is like a running account. You don't have to worry about a certain tense or grammar. Even if you are wrong, the other person can understand. This is my experience. Of course, don't write too short, at least a few hundred words. You can ask at the end, for example, "I want your autograph", and maybe the other person will give you a surprise. In addition, if you put his (her) small sticker on the envelope and put his (her) photo in the letter, you will also receive miraculous effects. You have to explore these yourself. In high school, the girl sitting behind me wrote a letter to Beckham with a Chinese knot in the envelope. As a result, I received Beckham's autographed star card, so all my letters were tied with Chinese knots at that time, but I didn't receive a reply. Anxious ... so sometimes other people's experience may not be suitable for you.
I'll teach you a trick about the other party's reply. Put a piece of paper in the letter, write down your Chinese address, and let the other party stick it on the envelope of the reply. If your address can be translated very accurately, you can also write down your English address directly and send it to you without paper. Some people worry that the staff of China Post Office can't read English, so how can the letter get into their own hands? When the letter is in the big post office, the address will be translated by the staff, written on the envelope, and then sent to the small post office, so don't worry about it. I posted the two replies I received, both from high school. Pay attention to the envelope, as I said, the address of a letter is posted on a piece of paper, which I sent when I wrote to them; The address of the other letter is handwritten, and it says "Mall High School" next to it, which was written by the post office.
