Dear Jordon,
I don't know how to chat (聊天) with my classmates because we do not share the same interests. We don't have anything to talk about. I am very lonely. What should I do?
Jenny
Dear Jenny,
To make friends, you must first be friendly . Everyone likes a friendly girl with a smile. You can give your classmates a compliment. Say something nice about their dressing styles or skills. Second, ask a question to start chatting. Find out what interests them and talk about that, even if it doesn't interest you a lot. Ask your classmates questions and let them be the experts. The conversation is more important than the topic. Finally, talk to more people. Say hello to the people you meet. Sit with different groups of people in the dining hall. If one person doesn't want to talk with you, find someone else to chat with. Don't just think about being lonely. Do something about it! Smile and say hello , even to the people who aren't your friends. Doing things differently will help produce different results.
