READING

Ways to make new friends
People say, ‘you can’t choose your family, but you can choose your friends’, and we know having friends makes
life better. But nobody teaches us how to make friends. Here are some tips.
Ask questions to get to know the other person. Using open questions with words like ‘what’ and ‘why’ is good
for this because it allows the speaker to say more. Closed questions with ‘do’ or ‘did’ are easier to answer
as they only need a short ‘yes’ or ‘no’, but they can stop the conversation.
Be a good listener. By listening carefully, you show the other person you are interested in what they are saying.
Don’t be impatient to speak even when you think you have a funny or interesting comment in mind, and always
respond to what you hear. Use the echo technique which means repeating part of what the other person says.
If they say they like dancing, you could say ‘Dancing! Really?’ This encourages them to say more.
Try to find common ground. Most friends share similar interests. If the other person mentions something that
you enjoy, share your interest. It might be a type of music or a sport, but this could be enough to create
a lifelong friendship.
Say something nice. If you see the other person doing or wearing something that you like, say something like
‘I really like your top’ or ‘I’ve really enjoyed our conversation’. Most people love to receive compliments,
and they often lead to further conversation.
Make a plan to do something together. This shows you are interested in continuing being friends.
Exchange numbers so you can keep in touch regularly and set a date to do an activity that you both enjoy.
Finally, don’t worry if not everyone wants to be your friend, it’s not about the number of friends you have
but the quality of your relationships. Good luck!
