5. Read the text about making new friends. For statements 1–6, choose True, False or Not Stated. How to Make New Friends. Making new friends can sometimes feel difficult, especially if you are shy. However, there are simple steps that help break the ice. First of all, try to look friendly. Smile and keep your body language open — don’t cross your arms. People are more likely to approach someone who looks relaxed. Secondly, find something in common. If you are at a party or a new class, listen to what others are talking about. You can ask a simple question: “Do you also play computer games?” or “Is this your first time at this club?”. Asking questions shows that you are interested in the other person. Most people enjoy talking about their hobbies. It is also important to remember names. When you hear a name for the first time, repeat it in your head or say it aloud: “Nice to meet you, Alex”. Finally, don’t be afraid to take the initiative. Exchange phone numbers or social media contacts before you leave. Friendship starts with small steps, but it requires effort from both sides. 1. You should always smile when you want to make new friends. 2. Crossing your arms helps you look confident and sociable. 3. Talking about money is a good way to find common interests. 4. Repeating a person’s name helps you remember it better. 5. According to the author, only one person should make an effort in friendship. 6. Exchanging contacts is recommended as the last step of communication.
