As I was finishing seventh grade, my school decided to make some changes because of financial(财政的)problems. The school would make the classes bigger, so there could be fewer teachers.①We needed to write down the names of people we wanted to be with and didn't want to be with. I wrote down the names of all my close friends.

I found out that none of my close friends were in any of my new classes. Also, my new classmates were quite different from my old ones. I thought they weren't as smart as my old classmates. They were also not in the school activities I was in. I couldn't find common interests with them.

As the year went on, I began to feel lonely and envy people in other groups. Why could they be with all their friends? As I found out, they didn't have many friends at first. They had made new friends in their new classes. They seemed pretty happy with their new friends.

I decided it was time for me to make new friends. I noticed that the people with many friends were very active. ②They often talked to others first, while I was too scared to talk to others and hoped other people would talk to me first.

Once I realized that, I found that making friends is very easy if you can accept people for who they are, respect them, and talk to them. Now I feel a lot happier because I have more friends.
