I'm Ben. Tara, Tina, Julia and Jeff are all my good friends. We are in the same school, but in different classes.

Tara and Tina are twins. And they look the same. Tara is as tall as Tina and they both work hard. Julia is taller than the twins and she is taller than any other girl in her class. She is also very outgoing, so she has many friends. She is good at all subjects. Jeff is as tall as Julia. They are in the same class. But he doesn't work as hard as Julia. Jeff likes playing basketball and swimming. Sometimes he is quiet, and sometimes he is a little outgoing. What about me? Hum, I'm as tall as Jeff. I'm very quiet. I like staying at home and reading books.

We are different, but we don't care. Oh, there's one thing we all like. We often go to the movies on weekends.

Do you know how (make) friends with a group of people? Let me tell you the (step) about making friends with the group. Maybe it's (help) to you.

First, you need to know what kind of group they are. If people of the group   (be) shy, never ask them" Why don't you talk?" "Why are you quiet?"

"Why do you look shy?" They don't like such questions.

Next, remember that each group is different. They may (use) different words, like different things or have different ways of "hanging out(闲逛)".

Then, the important thing is that you   (shall) try to be outgoing. If you are outgoing, you would become very popular. Remember, nobody wants to make friends a shy person.

(final), find a right topic to talk about with the group. For example, you can talk with them about weather, the news, their hobbies or their school life.

Every one of us, rich or poor, should at least have one or two good friends. Your friends will listen to you when you speak, will take care of you when you are sick, and will be together with you in your journey through life.

Everyone needs friends. Friendship can make us happier. Here is some advice.

★Make friends with a person who is easy to get along with.

★You should make friends with a person who has something in common with you.

★ Friends should always be ready to help each other.

★Believe in each other.

★Even the best friends may have a quarrel sometimes. Try to make up with your friends soon.

It is like a bottle of wine, the longer it is kept, the better it will be.
