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[入学仪式] 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[体面的]： No one will want to get to know you if you are dirty， smelly or have
nasty[不良的] habits.
4. Be tenacious[坚持的]： If at first you don’t succeed， then try and try again！
问英国年轻人在转校时或升上中学时最担心什么，他们可能会提及两点：迷路和结交新朋友。
第一点很容易解决：许多中学都会安排报到日，以帮助新生熟悉周围的环境。如果这样做新生仍未熟悉校园，那么他们还可以使用地图呢！但如果要结交新朋友，这就有些棘手了。
那么，什么才是结交新朋友的最佳方法呢？一群来自沃里克郡某所学校的12岁儿童对此提了一些建议：1. 展现自信：初到新校园，感到不安的并不是只有你一个，所以你应该与人多一点眼神接触、微笑，主动向人打招呼。
2. 亲切待人：别人说话时，你要表现出有兴致聆听他们的话。要对新结交的朋友亲切友好。
3. 仪表得体：没有人想结识一个看上去脏兮兮的、浑身怪味或有不良习惯的人。
4. 坚持不懈：如果你第一次尝试交友失败了，那就再接再厉吧！
Word of the day： Buddy （n.）
A buddy is a friend， often someone who helps you out.
“My school runs a buddy system， pairing new pupils up with existing ones. You don’t always stay friends with your buddy forever， but it sure helps you to settle in[融入].”—Josh， age 14.
