Going to a friend’s house is very exciting. You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.

When to arrive

The first thing to remember is that when a friend invites you to his/her house, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can arrive a few minutes after 3:00, but it is also a good idea to arrive at the right time.

What to bring

Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share(分享), or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift(=present) is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.

How to greet (問候)

When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. or Mrs. Smith. This will show them more respect(尊重).

It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again!

I was very worried and drove very b2. on the way to the test centre. My driving teacher said, “If you drive l3. this during the test, you will fail. Don’t be afraid.” But that just made me more afraid!

Then, the tester began a5. me questions about driving. He asked me, “What will you do if a dog runs out in front of your car?”I answered, and he sat there, unhappily, for a w6. and said,“Yes, maybe that is what you will do... but what will a good driver do?” By then, I thought I had failed the test.
