Before you make friends, you have to decide who you choose to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kinds of thing as they do. Think about your favorite things and try talking to your classmates about your hobbies.
The quickest way to make a friend is to smile (微笑). If you do so, people think you are friendly. At first, it may not be easy to smile. However, remember that nobody likes an angry face.
One easy way to talk with people is to say something nice about them. For example, you could talk about one’s great answer to a teacher’s question, or someone’s beautiful shirt, etc.
Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer? Where do they live? Who are their teachers? What do they do after school? What are their hobbies (爱好)? These are all good questions to start talking.
After making some friends with the same interests, it’s always fun to play or do some other things together. And this is the right way to make your friendship closer.

【推荐1】Some people have a kind of magic. They will make you comfortable while they are around. You feel at ease while talking to them. How is it done？ Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.
First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.
Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the topic of conversation. If someone insists on one topic, it means he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to the voice. If the voice sounds bored, then, it's time for you to change the topic.
Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of saying good-bye. If you're saying it, you may give him a handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know your thoughts.

【推荐3】The elephant lives in groups. An elephant herd(群) usually has from twenty to forty members. The elephants in the herd depend on one another for help in times of trouble.
The leader of the group is usually a wise and strong female. She travels at the head of the herd and is followed by the other females and their young. The male elephants follow last. When danger comes, the male elephants form a circle around the weaker animals and protect them. The members of the herd are loyal(忠诚) to one another. A sick elephant is not left behind to die. If an elephant is sick, the whole herd stops traveling until it gets well. When an elephant is hurt, two others walk on both sides of it and support it with their bodies.

In the heart of a child, dreams take wing,
Where imagination is the strongest king.
Mountains of books, oceans of ink,
Each page a door, each word a link.
To lands of magic, skies so blue,
Where dragons fly and fairies are true.
Heroes we meet, brave and kind,
On adventures, new worlds we find.
Believe in yourself, let courage rise,
Through every challenge, open new skies.
Learn from the stars, shining above,
In the beauty of life, show your _______.
So, dear dreamer, hold on tight,
To the wonders that fill your sight.
Tomorrow waits with open arms,
Ready for your dreams to transform.

【推荐3】A few students are giving their opinions about what a good friend should be like.
Kelly says, “I think a good friend should be honest（诚实的）. That’s more important than any other thing. And it is the start of a real friendship. If one isn’t honest, he may lose his friends’ trust.”
Tom answers, “I think a good friend has to be generous. Here being generous doesn’t mean he has to give his friends money or clothes. It means that he should share his ideas and feelings with his friends. In fact, his friends can know him better in this way.”
Amy replies, “In my opinion, a good friend should understand his friends. When there is something wrong between him and his friends, he must put himself in his friends’ place and think more for his friends.”
Lucy says, “A good friend should be playful. Friends can play with us. They can make us laugh when we are sad or lonely.”
Judy thinks good friends should be helpful. A good friend always has your back. When you are in trouble, he has no problem being there.
