    Being shy keeps many Chinese people from getting to know Westerners．You may feel nervous about making language mistakes in front of a native English speaker．

    But remember，Westerners living in Asia know how it feels to try to communicate(交流)in a foreign language．They have made many mistakes when speaking Chinese．

    So don′t worry that you cannot speak perfect English．The important thing is simply to communicate．Start talking，and find some friends today．

    Many Westerners value(注重)their privacy(隐私)．Don′t be surprised if your new friend doesn′t include you in everything he does．This may seem strange to Chinese who worry that their friends will get lonely．

    Chinese people often want their good friends to give advice and take care of them in many ways．If you expect(期望)this kind of care from Westerners，you may be frustrated. Why? Because most Westerners value independence．They feel unhappy if others think they can′t take care of themselves．

    Of course，these tips are just rules of thumb(经验之谈)and may not be true with all Westerners．Each person will have his or her own ideas about friendship．When you get confused(迷惑的)，don′t worry to ask questions．Your new Western friends also have many questions about Chinese culture，and they may be hesitant(犹豫)to ask…So encourage them to ask questions，too．

    Be honest and open to your friends．Respect each other′s differences．The friendship you make can be lifelong treasure(财富)for you and for your new friends．
