  Everyone needs friends.A friend can give us help and share our sadness and happiness.When there is a friend with us, we feel secure, happy, and comfortable.But how to make friends?

  Learn to smile.To make friends, you must be nice to others.Smile at others and you are sure to get a smile in return.The more you smile, the more natural your smile will be.Wearing a smile usually means you are approachable(易接近的), and you should try to make a stranger feel at home wherever he happens to be.Think more of others than of yourself and never judge a person by his appearance and clothes.

  Be fun to be around.In order to make friends, you don't have to be a superstar.To be fun, you do need to be positive and friendly, so that people feel good when they're around you.During the conversation you have with someone, you should use body language to convey(表达)that you are approachable, laugh often and make eye contact.If you want other people to like you, make them feel important and do it sincerely.

  Be trustworthy.One of the main things about having a friend is that you have someone with whom you can talk about anything, even secrets that you hide.The key to being a friend is the ability to keep secrets.Before people feel comfortable opening up to you, however, you need to build trust.Be honest about yourself and your beliefs.

  In conclusion, a great secret to have good relationships with other people is to understand that everyone has their shortcomings.A friend is our small world, and it is in our hands, as long as you open your eyes to look at the beauties.

  Whether it’s a carol(圣诞颂歌)service or an evening of karaoke in the pub, many people will enjoy a good old singsong this Christmas.Singing aloud will not just lift the spirits---it’s good for your physical health as well.Filling the lungs(肺)with air, increasing the heart rate and getting blood pumping round the body faster can all help our physical health.

  For the past few years Heart Research UK has been Funding a Christmas campaign aimed at getting people singing, simply for the benefit it can bring.The organizer of the campaign says singing is a safe, simple and social activity that everyone can enjoy.“Singing is linked to long life, stress reduction, and general health protection.It also brings a great amount of happiness.It is impossible to sing well with a long face because it affects your pitch(音高).”

  Professor Graham Welch, who leads the International Music Education Research Centre at the University of London, has spent more than 30 years studying the effects of singing.He says that singing is a form of exercise.It means we’re also having a strong aerobic activity(有氧运动)when we’re singing, which results in increasing the feeling of pleasure while decreasing that of stress.

  “And communal(共同的)singing-like in a singing group, a church service or even a singsong in the pub-helps improve our sense of self-respect.It increases our sense of satisfaction with ourselves, a greater sense of feeling included.”

  Helen Astrid, a singing teacher, also sees the great effects that singing brings.“It lifts us up on a spiritual level, it helps our self-respect, and it’s great for all ages from small kids to grannies-you can have a good sing and let your hair down.”

  But she warns people not to have too many beers or glasses of wine, though a glass may help them gather courage before taking to the stage during the holidays.
