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 get on time. If your friend tells you to come around 3.00 p.m., that means you can get there a little later after 3.00 p.m. But usually it is a good thing to arrive at the right time.?
