Going to an American friend’s house is very exciting. But you must remember to be polite.

When to arrive  If your friend tells you to come “ around 3:00”, that means you can go there a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.

What to bring   It’s 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   When you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I call his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr or Mrs Smith. You can also call them Madam or Sir.

  One evening after dinner, Mr.and Mrs.William called a family meeting.“We’ve had to make a difficult decision.” Mr.William announced.

“You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television in Chicago.Unluckily, the station is not here.After thinking long and hard about it, we’ve concluded (下结论) that the right decision is to move to Chicago.”

  Peter looked shocked, while his sister Amy breathlessly started asking when they’d be moving:“It’s surprising, but exciting!” she said.

Peter simply said, “We can’t go -I can’t leave all my friends.I’d rather stay here and live with Tommy!”

  What they didn’t know was that Peter had started walking over to Tommy’s house, with a faint idea of hiding in Tommy’s attic (阁楼) for a few days.But something happened on the way as Peter walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood:the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together.How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Peter didn’t take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons (纸板箱) the right size to hold his record collection.
