英语博客-北美风情 170、Who’s got mail?
时间：2019-01-01 作者：英语课 分类：英语博客-北美风情
Before we had e-mail, the popular way to exchange written messages was by sending letters through snail 1 mail. Canada’s postal 2 service recently went through a period when they weren’t delivering mail, which inspired us to create this episode. We talk about traditional mail versus 3 e-mail too, as well as Harp’s grandparents’ letters from India and Maura’s pen pal 4 in England.
Harp: So you met him on the Internet, and then you guys become pen pals 5 and used traditional snail mail. Then you met in real life and then now you met again, years later, using Facebook.
Maura: Yup. It’s pretty cool.
Harp: That’s a very cool story.
Maura: Yeah, it was fun. And it’s always fun to meet people from different places and exchange with them and get to know people. I like that.
Harp: Yeah. I had pen pals when I was young but they were always living somewhere far and I never wrote to them for a long time. I never met any of my pen pals. That’s very cool.
Maura: Yeah, yeah, it was fun.
