Making friends is a skill. Like most skills, it     with practice. If you want to meet people and make friends, you must be willing to     some actions. You must first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home       .
Join a club or group, talk with those who like the same things     you do is much easier. Or join someone     some activity.
Many people are nervous when talking to new people.     all, meeting strangers means     the unknown. And it’s human nature to       a bit uncomfortable(不舒服)about the unknown.
       our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts(怀疑)about        . We imagine other people are judging us, finding us too tall     too short, too this or too that, but don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way. Try to accept yourself       you are, and try to put the other person at ease(不拘束).You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to     self-confident(自信)even if you don’t feel that way when you     a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall and straight, look directly     other people and smile.
If you see someone, you’d like to     , say something. Don’t wait for     person to start a conversation(谈话).
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will     friends with that person. Friendship is based on mutual(相互的)liking and “give and take”. It     time and effort to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from       .
