BKeep in touch. EJoin an organization or a club. CBe a good listener. FAsk people out for lunch or coffee. Meeting new people and making friends can be overwhelming, but with a little effort and willingness to step outside of your comfort zone, you can easily make friends. Here are some good ways to make friends. _This is a great way to find other people who have common interests. If you enjoy something, try searching for a place where you can meet people who share that interest. If you play instruments or sing try joining a band or choir. 1fyou are good at sports, join a sports team. _You can go to school, join a club, or go to church, but you still wont make friends if you dont actually talk to people. Any time you talk to someone, you have a chance at making a lasting friend You can talk to anybody：the clerk at tile video store, tile person sitting next to you on public transit, or the person in front of you in the lunch line. Dont be too picky. _That will give you a better opportunity to talk and get to know each other a little bit better. Invite them to join you for lunch or coffee sometimes and give them your email address or phone number. This gives the person the opportunity to contact(联系) you；they may or may not give you their information in return, but thats fine. _Many people think that interesting people are easy to make friends.

When you lose connection with a friend, tile friendship may fizzle out. And when you do try to contact them again, it can be hard to gain the friendship again. 六、 书面表达。 (共1题；共5分)10. （5分）假设你是李华，你的美国笔友Amy下周将要来柳州旅游，你打算带她参观柳州的一些景点。请根据下列表格信息给她写封邮件，介绍你的计划。时间地点活动星期一马鞍山（Maan Hill）爬山，欣赏大自然的美景.星期二龙潭公园（Longtan Park）去划船，照相星期三五星街（Wuxing Street)逛街，品尝美食，购物注意：1).词数70词左右，可适当发挥；2).邮件的开头和结尾部分已给出，不计入总词数；3).文中不得出现真实的人名与校名。 参考词汇：爬山（climb the hill） 欣赏大自然的美景（enjoy the beauty of nature） 去划船（go boating） 照相（take photos）逛街（walk along the street） 品尝美食（taste delicious food） 购物（do some shopping）Dear Amy,Id like to see you in Liuzhou soon.
