How to make friends
Choosing friends
Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Mo.st people like to have
friends who like to do the same kind of things as they do. That doesn't mean you have to be exactly like each
other, just that you enjoy some of the same things. Think about your favorite things to do and try to talk to
your classmates at lunch or rest about your hobbies. You are sure to find at least one person who's excited
about the same things that excite and interest you, too.
Making friends
①The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy
to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile. But you can practice smiling in front of a mirror. When you
look at yourself in the mirror, think if you'd rather talk to your smiling face or your usual scared or angry face.
②One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about them. Think about
how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn't it make you want to talk to him?
③Ask your new friend's questions about themselves. It's the only way to get to know what they're like
and it's the only way they'll know that you are interested in them.
④Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do
have an answer for them. There is nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an
answer. Activities
After you've made a friend who shares the same interests with you, it's always fun to plan activities together
that you'll both enjoy. Inviting a friend to your house after school is a great way to make your friendship closer.
If you know a game your friend likes to play, you can plan to do that together. When you play a computer
game, one person is always left sitting with nothing to do but watch Not fun.
