Let me tell you about my great friend, Lan. She's really good at making people feel comfortable and at home. We've been friends since high school, and now she's like a sister to me. What's special about her is how she creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere.	I wanna share about my super welcoming friend, Lan – she's like the queen of making people feel at home. I've known her forever; we were buddies in high school, and now she's basically my sister. What makes her stand out is how good she is at listening and creating this cozy vibe at her place.
Lan's house? It feels like my second home. The first time I visited about three years ago, I was a bit nervous – you know, going to someone else's place. But Lan's home is like a cozy hug. She'd be at the gate, with a big smile, ready to welcome me. Meeting her parents felt like being part of a big, happy family gathering. They were genuinely interested in how I was doing and about my family.	Lan's house? It's my second home, seriously.

Do people in your country often invite others to their homes? Why? It really depends on people's culture and what they like. Some families often invite others over to strengthen their friendships. But in busier cities, folks might prefer going out because they don't have much time and space at home.	It really depends on the culture and individual preferences. In some families, inviting others over is a regular practice, a way to strengthen social bonds. However, in busier urban settings, people might engage more in social activities outside the home due to time constraints and limited space.
What kind of people do you think are most likely to invite others to their homes? People who enjoy being social and making connections are more likely to invite friends over. They like creating a friendly atmosphere in their homes and hosting events.	Sociable individuals are more inclined to extend invitations to their homes. These are people who enjoy socializing, building connections, and creating a warm environment for friends and family. Their outgoing nature makes them more likely to host gatherings and events.
Who is more likely to invite others to their homes, people in the countryside or people in the city? In the countryside, it's a different story. Communities are close, and everyone knows each other. So, you might get invited just because you're part of the group. Also, houses in the countryside are much bigger than city apartments, so there's more space for more people. Life is slower, too, so you can spend hours chatting without feeling rushed. It's like a party every time someone opens their door.	In the countryside, it's like a whole different vibe. First off, communities are tight-knit – everybody knows everybody. So, you're more likely to get invited just 'cause you're part of the gang. And then there's the space, man. Houses in the countryside are like mansions compared to city apartments. More room equals more people, right? Plus, life moves at a more chill pace, so you can actually spend hours catching up without feeling rushed. It's like a countryside fiesta every time someone opens their door.
