When I was nine years old，I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really 1   memories.

That birthday postcard attracted me again to the post office and all its delights. I had 14  the post office all these years. Today I   15    send postcards to

friends. And every time I am at the post office buying stamps, I cannot help but smile——how one postcard will make its way across the world and brighten up someone’s day.
