　　I’m Harley Hill．I was chosen as a postman of the year 1975．I have been a postman for 23 years．I love my work very much and it’s a fine life for me．Every week I work forty hours．I work from six o’clock in the morning to about two o’clock in the afternoon．The worst thing is being late in the morning．We handle 50 000 to 60 000 items a day．I deliver to probably 278 addresses．Some of them are from abroad．

　　I’m happy to see the smile on their faces when I give them a letter from home．I think if there is anything I don’t like about the job, it’s the snow and ice and especially dogs．I’ve been bitten about half a dozen times．I have got 3 years before I retire．I’m going to miss the job when I retire．
