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, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can turn up a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is 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, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.
How to greet (问候)
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) and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.
It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again! If you are told to get to your friend’s house around 5:00 p.m., it is polite to arrive at_____

| Alice: Hi, Jerry, I heard you have fun with Peggy in Merry Park yesterday. Jerry: Yes. We had a great time there. Why didn’t you come with us? We got there by bus in only ten minutes. Alice: I know, but the ticket is more expensive on the weekend. Also, I’ve been there many times since it opened five years ago. Did you try the Dandelion Seat there? It’s so popular that people have to wait for over an hour to get a ride. Jerry: You mean those flower-like umbrellas that fly high in the sky? Alice: Yes. I enjoyed riding on the Dandelion Seat and looking over the city. It was a great experience. Jerry: Eh… I liked taking the train to get around the park better. I don’t think it’s fun to ride in the air. I’d feel like I could fall down any time. Alice: Maybe you would like it more at night. It’s wonderful to see the beautiful lights below your feet. Jerry: Well… I’m afraid of high places. Alice: Oh, I see. That’s too bad.

| (At the beach) Ben: Hi, Judy! I can’t believe you came to join us! Judy: Hello, Ben. I came because I like your idea: when you give, you’re rich. I’m happy that I can do something for the Earth. Ben: Right. That’s why we had this plan to get our clean beach back. Do you know if Paul’s coming? I remember he had the same idea and said he would try his best to come over. Judy: But he just called and said he wouldn’t come today because it’s too hot. Ben: I can’t believe it! He always says, “We can do this and that….” Judy: Don’t you know him? He only pays lip service to what should be done but seldom does anything. Ben: I see. Let’s forget about him. We’ll have Tony and Sophie to help us soon. Judy: That’s great. So where should we start now? Should we pick up those bottles first? Ben: Sure, let’s go.

| My family and I have ridden bikes around the island several times. My friends often ask me questions about biking with their families. I’m sorry to learn that some of them don’t really enjoy biking or get hurt on the road because they don’t prepare well. Here I want to share some things that I think are important before you start off: 1. Get a bike of the right size for everyone in your family. 2. Check every part of your bike carefully. 3. Lear to fix some easy bike problems. 4. Check the traffic and weather news. 5. Pack maps, warm clothes, raincoats, snacks and enough water.
