Every day we meet people in a number of business and social situations．And the way we meet and greet them creates an impression．It's important to do so in a proper way, no matter whether you are introducing yourself to someone, or introducing two people to each other．To keep you aware of this, we have gathered tips on how to make a proper introduction．
◎Always stand when making an introduction．
When you are seated and someone comes up to greet you, make the effort to stand up．By doing this, you show respect for yourself and for the other person．
◎Always maintain eye contact while making an introduction．
Many people are not aware of the value of this simple action．When you make eye contact you are giving a confident image．
◎Always introduce a person of lesser authority to one of greater authority．The most important thing to remember is to say the most important person's name first．
For example, when introducing your supervisor(管理者)to a job candidate(候选人), you would give your supervisor's name first．“Bob Jones, may I introduce Susan Lee, who has just graduated from ABC University?”
◎In a situation where rank is unimportant, an introduction is based on sex and age．A man is presented to a woman and a younger woman to an older woman．What if you find yourself in a situation where you have forgotten the other person's name? Start with a handshake and reintroduce yourself．By doing this, you will usually cause the other person to do the same．
However, if the other person does not take your suggestion, it is OK simply to apologize and let the person know that you cannot remember her or his name．This is not the ideal situation, of course, but it does happen to all of us．The other person should be forgiving．

Friendship and friends continue to be the centre of our life．The relationship that we share with our friends is grounded in mutual(相互的)care as our friends help us in shaping our personalities as well．Even in this age of online social networking and e-cards, the need of keeping the network of friends, whether online or offline remains a primary concern for people．We may not completely understand what makes a friend but we all want to have a good number of friends around us．
The first step to make friends with someone is to make them like you．If they don't like you in the first place, it is unlikely that they'll be eager to become your friends．To let someone know that you are specially interested in them, simple gestures like a little smile and calling them by their names can lay the basic foundation．To make the other person feel important to you, you need to be a good listener and encourage the other person to talk．Give your honest and sincere opinion but do not directly criticize or make fun of him or her．
The second step of making someone your friend is to develop a mutual understanding．You need to share his or her experiences and it is necessary for you to develop a habit to see things from the other person's point of view．
The third or final step towards friendship is to show your unconditional support and encouragement towards your friend．Moreover, you also need to be very clear about your expectations from your friend．If what you expect from the person you want to make friends with matches with what that person can give, the developing friendship between you and your friend is sure to be successful．
