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.
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!
