新學校，新朋友
快樂學堂
Ask any young person in the UK what they worry about most， when they change schools or move up to secondary school， and they will probably mention two things： getting lost and making new friends.
The first of these is easy to solve： most high schools run induction[入學儀式] days to help new students find their way around the building and， failing that， there is usually a map！ Meanwhile， making new friends can be trickier[棘手的].
So what’s the best way to make new friends？ Here are some top tips from a group of 12-yearold children at a Warwickshire school：
1. Be confident： You won’t be the only person who feels nervous so make eye contact， smile and go and say “Hello.”
2. Be friendly： Be interested and listen to what others say and， when you have made new friends， treat them well.
3. Be presentable[體麵的]： No one will want to get to know you if you are dirty， smelly or have
nasty[不良的] habits.
4. Be tenacious[堅持的]： If at first you don’t succeed， then try and try again！
問英國年輕人在轉校時或升上中學時最擔心什麼，他們可能會提及兩點：迷路和結交新朋友。
第一點很容易解決：許多中學都會安排報到日，以幫助新生熟悉周圍的環境。如果這樣做新生仍未熟悉校園，那麼他們還可以使用地圖呢！但如果要結交新朋友，這就有些棘手了。
那麼，什麼才是結交新朋友的最佳方法呢？一群來自沃裏克郡某所學校的12歲兒童對此提了一些建議：1. 展現自信：初到新校園，感到不安的並不是隻有你一個，所以你應該與人多一點眼神接觸、微笑，主動向人打招呼。
