Making friends
There are new people to meet everywhere, the person who is next to you in a
class or someone who is in front of you in the lunch line. There are many different
ways to start a conversation with someone new, but it is always a good idea to smile
and make eve contact before you begin.
Just say “hello” and ask questions like. “Where are you from?”. The weather is always
a good topic for conversation. You can say, “It’s a nice day, isn’t it?”. It’s important to
keep the conversation light and it’s also a good idea to follow a 30/70 pattern during
small talk when possible. This is 30% talking and 70% listening.
The Internet is a great way to get to know people and make friends. It isn’t
always necessary for friends to have common interests. Some good friends are people
who are very different from each other! However, it’s easy to spend a lot of time with
someone who you think is a friend and then find there’s so chance to meet them
because of time and distance.
Sorts clubs are great places to keep healthy and make friends at the same time.
They are not just for people who are good at playing a sport – they are for everyone.
The important thing is to enjoy what you do and have fun. A sports team isn’t the only
way to a good social life. If you play a musical instrument or sing, there are bands or
choirs you can join too.
