First impressions are very important when we meet new people or make new friends. Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.

【小题1】

Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left. 【小题2】

Be on time

When meeting someone, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression. 【小题3】It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.

Introduce yourself and ask for names

Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their names in a polite way.

【小题4】

This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future.

Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.

Make a good conversation

To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you. 【小题5】 A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to（产生共鸣）.

Bullies（欺凌弱小者） often bully students who are lonely, but the students usually don't tell anybody because they are afraid of the bullies. These students don't know how to stop the bullies and are very unhappy.

A 14-year-old girl in Canada was bullied all the time by three girls in her class. The girls even called her on the telephone to bully her. She was afraid to stand up to them and never told anyone about the situation. In England,a 13-year old girl was bullied because she was very tall. She was scared of the bullies, but she also never told anybody what the bullies were doing. She was so unhappy that she killed herself

These young students were lonely and unhappy. They didn't talk to anyone. So if you have problems, you should talk to your parents, your teachers or your friends.
