Making new friends can be difficult, especially if you are a child in a new neighborhood. It may seem like everyone else has a friend to sit with or to talk to. Don't worry; if you're a nice person, you can make friends too.

    Step 1. Decide what kind of people you want to play with. Choose (选择)wisely, because you'll probably become like them. Pick children that are nice to other people.

    Step 2. Smile and say something nice to the person you want to be your friend. If you like a person's shoes or think a girl is good at basketball, just say so. Everyone likescompliments.

    Step 3. Join clubs and teams. If you like sports, try out for some. Put yourself in situations where you are around many children that enjoy the same activities as you. It's easier to develop(发展) friendships when you have the same hobbies.

    Step 4. Ask questions whenever it's appropriate. People love to talk about themselves. Be careful not to ask too personal questions or ask someone too many questions. But asking one or two questions shows you're interested in him or her.
