Урок 2 Адреса на конвертах. Объявления.
Addressing envelopes. Notices.
It is important to print names and addresses clearly and correctly on envelopes. Both capital and small letters can be used. You shouldn’t forget about the zip code (Am. E.) or the postcode (Br.E.) – a number that we put below the address on an envelope to help the post office deliver the mail more quickly. It’s easy, because you remember your own post index very well. Put a comma after a town name in the American address.
Task 1
Ты решил сдавать международный экзамен по английскому языку, но для этого надо послать заявку в Великобританию, в город Кэмбридж (почтовый индекс CB1 2EU), в организацию, которая называется Cambridge ESOL Information и находится в доме № 1 на Hills Road.
Правильно надпиши конверт. Обрати внимание, что в русском адресе запятая отделяет каждый
смысловой элемент и используется стандартная транслитерация, например:
ОТ КОГО: Elizaveta Shchukina
ОТКУДА: ul.Streletskaya, dom 22, kv.49
Nizhny Tagil, Sverdlovskaya oblast,
Russia
624211
