Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.Friendship offers companionship,improves an individual self-worth and promotes good health.However making new friends comes easy for some people but for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage.Below are some helpful tips on how to make and keep friends.
Associate with others.The first step to making friends is associating with other people.Health clubs,places of worship and charities are some places where you can meet new people and build friendship.But attending these places is not enough.You will need to make yourself known by becoming an active member.
Be cheerful.A smile on the face is a sure way to attract new friends.No one wants to keep company with someone who constantly looks upset.
Start a conversation.Starting a conversation is the second most important step in making new friends.Do not wait to be spoken to;you can always start the conversation.Being able to make small talk is a very useful skill in relating with other people regardless of the environment or circumstance.
Stay in touch.For a friendship to grow you need to stay in touch.There are several ways of staying in touch with your friends and these include SMS,phone calls and online social networking sites.
Do things together.Choosing friends with common interest is important in establishing friendship as these interests would always bring you and your friend together and hanging out will always be a pleasant experience.The less you have in common with your friend the more likely the friendship will not grow.
Let it grow.It is a good thing to stay in touch but try not to choke your new friend with calls,messages or visits as this would likely wear him or her out and eventually they may not want to be your friend anymore.The best friendships are the ones that grow naturally.
Enjoy your friendship.The best way to enjoy your new friends is to allow them to be themselves.Try not to be critical (挑剔的) of them and try not to change them from who they are to what you want them to be.

Who,What,Where,When,Why,and How
Have your child read the first couple of paragraphs of a news story.Ask them to write down all of the important facts,such as who,what,where,when,why and how.This helps parents to see if their children comprehend the basic facts and information they read.
Grammar
Parents can monitor a child's understanding of grammatical parts of speech (词性) without a grammar textbook.Ask your child to read a paragraph in an article and then list a specific number of nouns,verbs,adjectives,adverbs,pronouns,prepositions and the like,which serves more of a test of their grammatical knowledge.Encourage them to list each of these parts of speech in a paragraph.Then,reread the paragraph to see if they missed anything.
Persuasion
Ask your child to select an advertisement from the newspaper.Have them investigate how specific words or phrases influence their feelings about a particular product.Then,encourage them to create an advertisement of their own for an item they do not like.Tell them not to show their true feelings and try to make people want to buy this unwanted item.After that,ask them to list the persuasive techniques used in their ad.
Facts vs Opinions
Select an editorial for your middle schooler to read.Have your child divide a piece of paper into two columns,one marked fact,and the other marked opinion.Have your student decide which column it fits under.This will help your child better understand facts versus opinions.Another related exercise is responding to an editorial.Encourage your child to write letters to the editor or responses to editorials or other articles.Before your child sends his or her letter,check the opinion section to see what requirements there are.
Headlines and Synonyms (同义词)
Ask your middle schooler to rewrite a couple of headlines using the synonyms of the original words.Compare the headlines.Do the original versions or the rewrites sound better?This is a great exercise to help students learn synonyms and expand their vocabulary.
If you find your seventh or eighth grade child is struggling with these newspaper activities,it may be an indicator that they have fallen behind in their reading skills.These activities were designed with a seventh or eighth grader in mind; therefore,while they are educational,they should be more of reinforcement (增强) instead of a major reading challenge.
