《2026年水木金卷高考模拟试卷精编英语》

A
If you're new to a school or you have a tendency to be shy or tend to not get out of your comfort zone, making new friends at school might seem like a challenge. Luckily, you can overcome that challenge by looking for people with the same interests as you and by being friendly when you meet new people.
Step 1 Look for people who have the same hobbies as you.
You're more likely to be friends with someone if you have something in common with them. Try to find clubs or groups based on your favorite hobbies, and then join them to meet like-minded people. Also, pay attention to people who spend their free time doing the same things you love to do. If you love to draw, for instance, you could register for an art class, attend art shows, or look for people who are doodling(涂鸦) during math class.
Step 2 Spend time around people who show kindness.
Finding someone who will treat you well and support you is more important than popularity. Avoid spending time with people who talk bad about others or put them down. Instead, look for people who invite others to sit with them at lunch, who encourage others when they speak up in class, or who are always willing to help when someone needs a hand. When you're around someone, you should feel comfortable acting like yourself around them. A friend should never make you feel bad for being who you are.
Step 3 Make new friends through your current friends.
If you already have a few friends but you're looking to meet more people, try getting to know the other people your friends know. If you don't have a chance to hang out during the school day, try setting up a group event after school or on weekends. This can be as informal as walking home together, or it can be a planned activity everyone can participate in.
Step 4 Introduce yourself to new people whenever possible.
When you're around someone you don't know, it can be tempting(不自禁) to just sit there quietly, especially if you're shy. However, you and the other person will both be more comfortable after a simple introduction. Make eye contact with the person, smile, and try to seem warm and relaxed instead of nervous or anxious. Then, break the ice by talking about whatever is going on around you.
