Want to know how to be a confident friend-finder? We can help, with four easy steps.
Step 1. Change your mental state.
It’s easy to get so freaked out（不安的）about being in a new situation that you start throwing off don't-come-near-me signals. And guess what? It worked.1.Instead, change your attitude with some positive thinking. Tell yourself: “It’ll be great to get to know someone new”, or “I can’t wait to hear what these girls have to say.”
Step 2. Remember, the eyes have it.
The first place we look at when we’re uncomfortable is the floor. No one can tell if we’re embarrassed. We can’t tell if anyone is looking at us. Whoa!2.Holding your head up and making eye contact is a bold（大胆的）move．It’s confident and friendly.
Step 3.3.
Does starting a communication bring on an attack of shyness? Try adding a good question to your friend-finding tools. Strong opening questions usually begin with “what” or “how” words that get people talking. Typically, our first instinct (本能) is to ask a “can” or a “do” question, like “Can I borrow a pencil?” or “ Do you know where the bathroom is?4.Asking “what” or “how” questions gets you more information to respond to. Try something like “Hi. I really like that flower. How did you draw it?” or “Hi. I’m new. What’s the least scary lunch option in the cafeteria?”
Step 4. Practice, practice, practice.
Making new friends is a skill. 5.But the more you practice, the more relaxed and natural. You’ll feel, and the easier it will get. So flash that smile, offer some welcoming words, and soon you’ll be hanging out with your newest friends!
A. People don’t come near you.
B. All you need is one question.
C. Listen closely to their answers.
D. Not a good way to meet people.
E. The thought of meeting people makes you excited.
F. But that only gets you short answers. Like “Yeah”or “Down the hall”.
G. Like art, music, or sports, it takes practice to feel truly confident of it.
There lived in South Carolina a young woman named Eliza Lucas. Her father was governor of one of the islands of the West Indies. Miss Lucas often got seeds from her father, and then she planted them in South Carolina.
Once, her father sent her some seeds of the indigo (靛蓝) plant. She planted some of them in March, but a frost (霜冻) came and killed all her plants. However, she decided to plant some more seeds in April. These grew very well until a cutworm found them and ate her plants. Once more Miss Lucas planted some of the seeds. This time the plants grew very well. She wrote to her father about it. He sent her a man who knew how to get the indigo out of the plant.
However, the man tried not to show Miss Lucas how to make the indigo. He did not want the people in South Carolina to learn how to make it. He was afraid his own people would not get so much money for their indigo if other people made it as well. So he destroyed the indigo on purpose. But Miss Lucas watched him closely. She worked out how the indigo could be made. Some of her father’s land in South Carolina was now planted with the indigo plant.
Then Miss Lucas got married, and became Mrs. Pinckney. Her father gave her all the indigo growing on his land in South Carolina. It was all saved for seeds. Mrs Pinckney gave some of the seeds to her friends while her husband sowed others. They all grew and were made into the blue dye(染料) that we call indigo. In a few years, South Carolina was producing more than a million pounds of indigo every year. All the people were grateful to her.
