I need some advice on how to make friends! I have just moved to a new city．I am 13．I don't know anybody here and I want to make some friends．What's the best way? Where can I meet people?
Yours,
Tony
Dear Tony,
There are lots of things you can do．First, you can ride your bike in your neighborhood and try to find some kids．When you find some, you can go up and talk to them．You should also let your parents know that you want to make friends because they can help you．Maybe you can ask your parents to take you to the library or some places where there are lots of kids．You could try joining an art class or a sports club．These are all great ways to meet people．You can try making friends at churches (教堂)too if you go to church on Sundays．Try to be active wherever you are, but just be yourself and don't try so hard．It takes time and patience (耐心)．I hope you will find a best friend soon!
Tony： What do you do on the computer, Lingling? Do you use the Internet?
Lingling： Yes, I do．I use the Internet．I download music．I often visit websites to get information for my homework．It's great!
Tony： What about your parents?

Tony： Do you send emails?
Lingling： I send emails to my friends in England．I don't write emails to my Chinese friends．What do you and your parents do with your computer?
Tony： I usually download games on the Internet．And I love it! I never send emails to my friends but I often chat(聊天)with them on the Internet．My father likes reading novels and my mother likes playing games．
