DIY is very popular in China now. Do you know what it is? John works as an engineer in Beijing. He enjoys his work, but it is very hard for him to relax after work.
"For a long time, I had no choice except going to a bar for a drink and karaoke to relax?myself," he said.
One day, the toy dogs in a toy shop made him think of other ways to relax himself. Then he began to make model planes and something else. The things he has made by himself don't look as professionally made as those in the shops, but he enjoys doing it. "It is not as much fun to play with things which are bought from the shops," he said.

D. Read the passage and answer the following questions:
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 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 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 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!
