Dear Tim,

I am writing this to give you my two cents on how to make friends in your new school.

When it comes to making friends, having a common intrest has helped me out the most. When you have common intrest with other people, it is much easier to engage them into a conversation. People love to talk about their hobbies. So i recommend you find people you share a hobby or an intrest with.

Joining a club or participating in school activities can help you find people with common intrest. So i highly recommend you to participate in any school activity that inrests you or, join a club or a sporta team, if there is any that you think is a good fit for you. People will be more inclined to engage with you, if you are competent, especially, at an activity that they are passionate about.

Other than that, I suggest you always try to keep a little smile on your face. This can make you look more approchable and help you make friends much easily. Additionally, always dress appropriately, make sure you also smell good on top of looking good.

Best Regards

Linda
