How to Make Friends

Every one of us needs to have friends. However, making frineds is not easy. If we feel shy, we may hesitate to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have. The following points, in my opinion, seem to be essential to make more and better friends. First of all, be polite. Always greet people in a friendly and enthusiastic manner. For example, say please,thank you all the time. Secondly, be tolerant. Listen carefully when others are talking to you, whether it is interesting or not. Don't constantly interrupt or contradict other people. What is more, never hose your temper, even if your are offended. If you do feel offended, try to talk to your friend frankly and earnestly. Thirdly, be considerate. Be ready to help your classmates, roommates, even strangers you happen to run acorss. whenever they are in trouble. Making an extra cup of soup for a sick neighbor may seem like a little thing to do, but it will make your neighbor feel much better. Lastly, remember names. Concentrate when you are introduced to someone, and remember the person's name.They say that the sweetest music to a person's ears is the sound of his or her own name. If you can follow these suggestions, i am sure you will succeed in making many good friends.
