Making new friends can be difficult, especially if you think you are too shy. Don’t worry, just try the following things!
There is no need to hide your shyness. When they get to know you are a shy kid, they will understand you better. This also helps feel more at ease in talks.
When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk with. Remember that other people have feelings, too; and most people will stay away from an angry-looking face.
If you find it hard to start a conversation, say something nice about people around you. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?
Think more about ways to enjoy parties or games. Don’t waste time worrying about your look or whether people like you or not.
Each time when you say “Hi!” or smile at someone, say to yourself , “I can make it.” Keep trying and one day you’ll never feel shy when you talk to others to smile more.
| A．Try to smile more. |
| B．Tell people you are shy. |
| C．Learn to be a good talker. |
| D．Get your attention elsewhere. |
| E．Take one small step at a time. |
| F．Ask him or her many questions. |

Every family has different home alone rules. Here are some common rules:
“Closed door” policy (原则)
Don't open the door for anyone except a brother, sister or parent.
Keep all doors locked, at all times.
Checking in
When you get home, call your parents to let them know that everything's OK.
Phone calls
Only pick up the phone if it's a parent, relative, or friend who your parents know.
If you answer the phone and the person asks for a parent, just say that he or she is busy and can't come to the phone. Never tell a stranger on the phone that you're home alone!
Snacks
If you feel nervous about using appliances like the oven, you may have some snacks instead of (代替) cooking food yourself.
Visiting friends
Most children have a rule that no friends are allowed in the house when they're home alone. This may be no fun but in the end, is safe for everyone.
Staying inside
Your parents may want you to stay at home and not to go anywhere—not even a friend's house, park, or store.
