It's difficult when you have no good friends around - maybe because you have moved toa different school or a different class or you re sick at home.没有朋友你也许会感到寂寞。You want to have new friends. But how to make them? How do you start? How do you get along with people? Here are five ways to help you to do these.

    Greet(闾候)people

    Greet people and hope that they have a good day - whatever time of day it is. It doesn't hurt any people. It also makes people think you're friendly.

    Share

    Take something to eat in your pocket. Ask if people would like to have some, and at the same time hand it to them.

    Help people

    Simple actions, like helping people carry something or opening a door show yourkindness.

    Smile

    Perhaps smiling is the easiest way to introduce yourself. There's a great reason why ittakes fewer muscles(肌肉)to smile than to cry. Nature just wishes us to smile more.

    Respect(尊敬)others

    The world's full of differences. So learn to respect others. It is the only way otherpeople will respect you.

    One day, my father and I were in line to buy tickets for the circus(马戏表演). And a family was standing in front of us. The family had eight children. Their clothes were not expensive were but clean. The children talked about the clowns(小丑),elephants, monkeys and other things excitedly. It was their first time to go to the circus.

    The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted. He answered, "I want eight children's tickets and two adults' tickets, so I can take my family to the circus."

    The ticket lady told him the price. The man's wife lowered her head and there was no smile on the man's face. He quietly asked, "How much did you say?"

    The ticket lady said the price again. The man didn't have enough money. How could he tell his eight kids the bad news? My dad put his hand into his pocket and pulled out a $20 bill and dropped(使......落下)it on the ground. (In fact, we were not rich!) Then my dad said, "Excuse me, Sir, this dropped out of your pocket."

    The man knew what was happening. He looked into my dad's eyes, held(握住)my dad's hand in his, and took the $20 bill. "Thank you, Sir, thank you. This really means a lot to me and my family."

    My father and I went back home. We didn't go to see the circus that night, but we didn't care.

    Mr White works in a factory. There are not many people in the factory. They make shoes there. The workers go to work very early in the morning. On Saturday and Sunday they don't go to work.
