There are many ways of contacting people in the modern world, including phones, email and social media. Despite this, postal services are still popular. Even though people no longer tend to send each other letters, postal services now have different uses. For example, in today's society online shopping is an enormous industry, allowing people from all over the world to order items online and get them delivered to their homes. Without postal services this wouldn't be possible, therefore they are important. Not only are they important but also very popular since millions of people make purchases online and wait for their deliveries. Another reason as to why they are popular is the fact that in countries like the U.K., many official documents come through the post, rather that electronically, this means that postal services, like Royal Mail, are well known among citizens and are frequently used.

В кратце: Артикль a и an означает one (один, 1 штука чего-либо). a используют для слов, начинающихся с согласной (a banana), an для слов, начинающихся с гласной (an apple). Употребляют для не определённых слов, когда речь идёт просто о каких-то там яблоках или бананах (куртке, человеке итд) The означает этот, какой-то определённый предмет, о котором идёт речь, о котором вы уже разговариваете (the book - ЭТА книга), а так же употребляется для небесных тел, как солнце (the sun), луна (the moon), для названий фильмов (the Simpsons), когда вы говорите о солнце, все ведь понимают о каком солнце речь, это же не огурец или заяц.
