Have you ever heard of the saying，“If you want a friend，be one．”？What does it mean？
There are many different things that you can do to make friends．You may find out what they are if you watch someone make friends．
Here is how one new teacher made friends with the students in her class on the first day of the school．When the bell rang，the teacher smiled at all the students．Then she said，“Good morning．How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year！I want to know each of you very much．I am sure we will enjoy working together．”
The teacher smiled，used a pleasant voice(令人愉快的聲音)，and acted in a friendly way．She told the students her name and wrote it on the blackboard．Then she told them something she liked to do and hoped to do with them during the year．The students knew that she liked many of the same things they liked．Everyone felt that she meant what she said．Each of them wanted to know her better and be her friend．
Then she let the students tell something about themselves．So they felt that the teacher knew them．Could you make friends as the teacher did？
How do you know and like your classmates？One way is to find out more about them．During the break(課間休息)you can talk to them．You may ask them their names and the names of the schools they went to last years．They want to know about you，too．You may tell them about your interests or your holiday experiences(經歷)．It is often easy to be friends with people who have the same interests and play the same games．As you talk，the others may be thinking，“I like to do the same things you do．It should be fun(樂趣)to be friends with you．”
Remember！Just talking together in a friendly way is one good way to make friends．
