Review unit 9

Exercise 1: Read the passage and answer the following questions:
When you have a post-office box, the postman does not bring letters to you, but you go to the post-office and get your letters and parcels from your box. The box is locked, and you have the key, so the letters are quite safe.
One day, the headteacher of a school wrote to the post-office and asks for a post-office box for his school. He soon got an answer. It said, “We will give you a post-office box in one month.”
Three months later, the headteacher wrote to the post-office again and said, “Why haven’t we got a post-office box yet?” This was how the post-office answered:
“ Dear Sir, We gave you a post-office box 2 months ago and wrote to you then to tell you. Here is the key to your box. You will find our letter to you in it”
