The first way to make friends is to smile. When you
smile, people think you are __1___ and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at

Most people stay away from an __3___ face.
One easy way to start a conversation with someone is
to say __4___ nice about them. For example, you could talk about an interesting
__5___ to a teacher’s question, good match at the ball field, pretty shirt,
etc…. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you.
Doesn’t it make you want to __6___ talking to that person?
Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Such
as: “Who’s their favorite singer?” “Where do they live, who’s their teacher?”
“What do they do after school?” … etc. They are all good questions to start a
__7___.
When someone asks you a question, do have an answer
for them. If you don’t __8___ who your favorite singer is, or what your hobbies
are, think about it. There’s nothing that will __9___ a conversation quicker
than a shrug(耸肩) for an answer.
