Even if you are naturally shy, these three tricks will help you to quickly build a new social circle in any new city.
1. Take pictures
One of the great things about taking pictures at an event or a party is that it gives you an excuse to get in touch with the person later. Everybody loves seeing pictures of themselves, and it’s very easy after taking a picture to say “If you’d like I can email it to you”. This can be the seed that leads to new connections.
2. Eat alone in public
You might feel self-conscious eating by yourself but it has an important benefit: you are much easier to approach(接近) when you are alone. People may be afraid of disturbing you or being rude if you talk with someone else. Bring a book or newspaper to read. Plus, having an interesting book with you will give others an excuse tostart a conversation if they’ve read it.
3. Join a class, sports team, or club
Yoga, salsa dancing, volleyball, Toastmasters (a public speaking club), a class for work, etc. Choose a new hobby or continue an old one!
These are all great places to meet new people, primarily because you will be made to see the same people over and over again in the class. You will automatically make friends with them if you have a common interest and are made to see each other again.

Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow”, “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”, “flowers” and “fruits” on the Net. They can earn(挣) some e-money and buy more “seed”(种子), “pets” and even “houses”.
Li You from Xi’an said people in the city get tired from work, they go to their own farms, take care of their crops(庄稼), and pull out weeds(杂草). It is glad to forget about the pressure in cities.
Li Bu grew up in a small village, and then he went to a city, but now he misses the life in the village and “Happy Farms” makes the country dream possible in his office.

When he is working on his farm, he can feel the breath of nature, and get happiness from farming and harvesting(收获).

The Greenest School in Britain

The pupils and teachers at Fairfield School think it's worth looking after the environment! This is what they've been doing:

Growing vegetables

Fairfield School pupils started their own vegetable garden. Both children and teachers plant and water the seeds ( 种子), then I hey pick the vegetables, which are used in school meals. Now they can all enjoy healthy food at lunchtime. "School dinners are tastier than ever before! " says one pupil.

Recycling

The Fairfield pupils don't just bring their books to school—they bring their rubbish too! There are recycling bins (回收箱 )in the playground for cans, plastic bottles, batteries and paper. The teachers give a prize every month to the pupil who's tried the hardest to recycle.

Planting trees

"This used to be one of the least beautiful areas of the city with no green areas, says the head teacher Lynne Johnson. "Now every child has planted their own tree, which he or she looks after during the week. They've made the view from the classroom more beautiful!

Everyone walks or cycles to Fairfield School! "When the roads are busy, it’s faster to ride bikes than to go by car anyway,” says one pupil. Even the teachers don't use their cars. "We won't encourage our pupils to look after the environment if we don't do it ourselves! " says one teacher.
