Everyone needs friends. A friend can give us help and share our sadness and happiness. When there is a friend with us, we feel secure, happy, and comfortable. But how to make friends?

Learn to smile. To make friends, you must be nice to others. Smile at others and you are sure to get a smile in return. The more you smile, the more natural your smile will be. Wearing a smile usually means you are approachable(易接近的)，and you should try to make a stranger feel at home wherever he happens to be. Think more of others than of yourself and never judge a person by his appearance and clothes.

Be fun to be around. In order to make friends, you don’t have to be a superstar. To be fun, you do need to be positive and friendly, so that people feel good when they’re around you. During the conversation you have with someone, you should use body language to convey(表达) that you are approachable, laugh often and make eye contact. If you want other people to like you, make them feel important and do it sincerely.

Be trustworthy. One of the main things about having a friend is that you have someone with whom you can talk about anything, even secrets that you hide. The key to being a friend is the ability to keep secrets. Before people feel comfortable opening up to you, however, you need to build trust. Be honest about yourself and your beliefs.

In conclusion, a great secret to have good relationships with other people is to understand that everyone has their shortcomings. A friend is our small world, and it is in our hands, as long as you open your eyes to look at the beauties.
