MAKING FRIENDS
A. There are new people to meet everywhere. The person who is next to you in a class or
someone who is in front of you in the lunch time. There are many different ways to start a
conversation with someone new, but it is always a good idea to smile and make eyes contact
before you begin. Just say “Hello” and ask questions like, “Where are you from”. The weather is
always a good topic for conversation. You can say, “It is a nice day, isn’t it?”. It is important to
keep the conversation light and it is also a good idea to follow a 30/70 pattern during small talk
when possible. This is 30% talking and 70% listening.
B. The internet is a great way to get to know people and make friends. It isn’t always
necessary for friends to have common interests. Some good friends are people who are very
different from each other! However, it is easy to spend a lot of time online with someone who
you think is a friend and then find there is no chance to meet them because of time and distance.
C. Sports clubs are great places to keep healthy and make friends at the same time. They are
not just for people who are good at playing a sport – they are for everyone. The important thing
is to enjoy what you do and have fun. A sports team isn’t the only way to a good social life. If
you play a musical instrument or sing, there are bands or choirs you can join too.
