1 . How to make new friends

We tend to make friends with people we cross paths with regularly: people we go to school with, work with, or live close to.    1    . So, look at the places you frequent as you start your search for potential friends.

Meet new people

When looking to meet new people, try to open yourself up to new experiences. Not everything you try will lead to success but you can always learn from the experience and hopefully have some fun. Volunteering can be a great way to help others while also meeting new people.    2    .

Connect with your schoolfellow association

Many schools have schoolfellow associations that meet regularly. You already have the school experience in common.    3    . Some associations also provide community service events or workshops where you can meet more people.

    4    

Even if you’ve lived in the same place all your life, take the time to re-explore your neighborhood attractions. New arrivals to any town or city tend to visit these places first—and they’re often keen to meet new people and establish friendships, too.

Take a moment to unplug

It’s difficult to meet new people in any social situation if you’re more interested in your phone than the people around you.    5    . Making eye contact and exchanging small talk with strangers is great practice for making connections—and you never know where it may lead!

A．Cheer on your team like a member

B．Behave like someone new to your area

C．Check with your library or local paper for events near you

D．And bringing up old times makes for an easy conversation starter

E．The more we see someone, the more likely a friendship is to develop

F．Put your smartphone away while you’re waiting for a bus, for example

G．It also gives you the opportunity to regularly develop your social skills

Every time Jim crossed the street on his way to work, he would see a little girl selling flowers on the street. She sat by a large green board with the names of the flowers and their prices on it. Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her, and she rarely sold anything. Jim wanted to help her, and one day he got his chance. His aunt would retire, and he thought a bouquet (花束) would be a great gift.

“Hello, could you please make me a bouquet of roses?” Jim said as he approached the girl.

The girl didn’t raise her head and just stared at the same spot on the ground. “I’m Cassy. Thank you for buying flowers from me,” she said. “Could you please select the flowers by yourself and give them to me? I will tie them together for you. I can’t see. ”

“Oh, I’m sorry,” Jim said as he picked the flowers and handed them to her. Within several seconds, the girl made a lovely bouquet for Jim.

“Here,” she said, holding the bouquet. “That’ll be $5.”

“Thanks. They’re beautiful,” Jim said and walked away after placing the money in the hat beside Cassy.

The next day, Jim went to work and he decided to have a quick talk with Cassy on the way. However, he didn’t see Cassy where she used to be that morning. He thought she might be late and decided to meet her the next day, but she didn’t show up for the next few days in a row (连续地).
