How to make friends
Choosing friends
Before you make friends,you have to decide who you want to be your friends.Most 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
●The 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.
●One 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?
●Ask your new friends 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.
●Make 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.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
● Recite and repeat in conversation. When you hear a person’s name, repeat it.1.You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
● Ask the other person to recite and repeat. 2.After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
● 3.Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy（同情） if you say, “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”
● Use associations （联想）. 4.For example, you could make a mental note: “ Vicki Cheng — tall, black hair.” To reinforce (强迫) your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
● Limit the number of new names you learn at one time. When meeting a group of people, concentrate（全神贯注）on remembering just two or three names. 5.Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning just first names. Last names can come later.
A．Admit you don’t know. |
B．Recite and repeat names. |
C．Free yourself from remembering everyone. |
D．You can let other people help you remember their names. |
E. If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may tell him the truth.
F. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips.
G. Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual.
