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 over, 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 better to arrive at the right time.
What to bring
Often it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This should be a box of chocolate 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 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(尊敬) 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.

The peacock in Yunnan Province in China is green. The head of the peacock is covered with dark-green feathers. The face is light yellow. People often use its tail feathers to make fans (扇子) or clothes.

“Why does the chicken cross the road?” “To get to the other side!”
That’s an old joke in the West, but it came to my mind again when I saw people crossing the road at the intersection of Shanxi Road and Huaihai Road in Shanghai.
When the traffic light was red, a group of people were waiting for the light to change. Suddenly one man began rushing to the other side of the road. Soon others followed him at the crossing and more people did the same. Just like chickens, they didn’t mind the honking horns (喇叭声) and kept crossing the road in a mess(乱糟糟). People call this “Chinese Style of Crossing”.
Every year thousands of people are killed or hurt on the roads in Shanghai. And at least 30 percent of them are jaywalking(乱穿马路). Jaywalking is very common (普遍的)in Shanghai. It seems that jaywalkers are not afraid of the danger to themselves.
Traffic laws are to keep people safe. So we should follow them, and have good road-crossing habits. When someone starts to jaywalk, we should stop him, and never follow him. In that way we can avoid (避免)the traffic accidents.
