Do you have fun together? Do you feel comfortable when talking to others? Have you ever found it hard to make new friends? 1 ●Remember other people's names. Make a great effort to do this when you first meet someone. Then when you meet again, you will easily make that person feel comfortable if you remember his or her name. 2 ●Smile.

Maria walked into the kitchen and shouted, “I can’t stand living with Felicia for another minute. I don’t even want to talk to her again!” Mom called out, “Felicia, come to the kitchen right now.” While Felicia was on her way, Mom put two chairs opposite to each other but very close together. “Maria, you sit here and Felicia you sit there.” The girls sat face to face, with their knees almost touching. “Now you look at each other in the eye for five minutes,” Mom ordered. At first, the girls moved their bodies from side to side. Mom said, “You must stay looking at each other for five minutes. Each minute you don’t make eye contact (接触) means another minute sitting in the chair.” They both wanted out, so they had to sit there and look at each other. Felicia looked at Maria’s angry face while Maria looked at Felicia’s. They each thought the other one looked ridiculous (可笑的). In fact, they were being ridiculous to fight and being mad at each other over nothing. Soon Maria couldn’t stand it any longer and began giggling (咯咯地笑) and so did Felicia. They giggled and laughed.

She could hear the girls arguing in the living room. It was the third time this week that the sisters had been arguing over nothing. A few minutes later, Maria went into her bedroom angrily and closed the door heavily. “Come to the kitchen, young lady,” Mom firmly (坚定地) said to Maria in her best mother tone of voice. Maria walked into the kitchen and shouted, “I can’t stand living with Felicia for another minute. I don’t even want to talk to her again!” Mom called out, “Felicia, come to the kitchen right now.” While Felicia was on her way, Mom put two chairs opposite to each other but very close together. “Maria, you sit here and Felicia you sit there.” The girls sat face to face, with their knees almost touching. “Now you look at each other in the eye for five minutes,” Mom ordered.

In fact, they were being ridiculous to fight and being mad at each other over nothing. Soon Maria couldn’t stand it any longer and began giggling (咯咯地笑) and so did Felicia. They giggled and laughed.
