Making friends at school can be a little hard—but it doesn't have to be! Try a few of these ways and you'll soon have a group of friends to have fun with!
Be friendly.
Be ready to smile and say "hi". Look up, stand straight, make eye contact（交流）and use friendly body language. Try to avoid（避免）standing straight, make eye contact and use friendly body language. Try to avoid crossing your arms or looking closed off. This will make you look like you want to get to know people.
Sit at a table.
Sit at a table with people sitting down. If you're feeling shy, pick a table that only has one or two people sitting. If you like the people you sit with, ask if you can join them again the next day.
Try out a sports team.
If you like soccer, basketball, softball, baseball or anything, try out for the team! If your school doesn't have a sports team, try looking for one at your local community centre.

You may study differently from your friends, but your study habits are not wrong!
Kelly and Maria are best friends with a lot of common interests. They love doing things together, but they find studying together impossible! Their working styles are so different that they can't be in the same room while they are studying!
Kelly may like to study in a clean, open space, while Maria works best with books, papers and other things around her. Kelly likes to study in a totally quiet room, but Maria loves to play music even when she TV on. Kelly can sit for hours without moving, and often says that all her homework finished in one sitting. Maria, however, is always getting up, and says that she thinks best when she's on the move.
You might wonder which way of studying is better. Many people believe that a quiet, tidy setting（环境）is the way to go, ▲. Some research（研究）even showed that outside noise and untidiness（杂乱）help some people improve their focus. For example, if you're the type of person who needs to see how things are going, you may find that studying at a table in a busy shopping centre helps you focus, because you're paying attention to what you're doing, not what's going on around you.
So, if you're a student who chooses to study in a totally quiet room, that's OK. If you work best with music on or while sitting at a table in a busy shopping centre, don't worry about it. Judging（参照）from Kelly's and Maria's study habits, the best way to study is the way that works for you. In their very different ways, both of them do well in school, and both finish their work on time.
