Question

You can make friends by doing what a friend should do.

Here is how one new teacher made friends with the girls and boys in her class on the first day of school. As the bell rang, the teacher smiled at each girl and boy. Then she said in a quiet voice, “Good morning, how nice it is to have all of you in my class this year. I’d like to know each of you. I am sure we will enjoy working together.” Everyone felt that she meant what she said because of her sweet voice and her friendly look.

She told the girls and boys her name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them some of the things she liked to do and she was hoping to do with them during the year. Then she said to the class, “Now you know my name and the things I like and I want to know your names and the things you like. Then I will feel that I know you.” Could you make friends by doing the same things as the teacher did?

One way of getting to know and to like the other girls and boys in your class is to find out more about them. It is often easy to be friends with those people, who have the same hobbies as you, play the same games, and have had the same experiences as you.

You may find some new comers in your class may miss their old friends and feel strange and lonely. You can invite them to walk to and from school or to ride bikes with you. You will find many things to talk about. Just talking together in a friendly manner is a good way to make friends.
