How to be popular
Most people would like to be popular with others，but what is the secret to achieve popularity? In fact，it is very simple．   
In my opinion, what we should do first is to improve our appearance. It’s necessary that we have on orderly and clean clothes and be always friendly with a warm smile. In this way people will surely be impressed by our confidence. Another important step is to possess good qualities. There is no doubt that honesty and willingness to help others are why we become charming. What’s more, it’s also great importance to put others first. If we know how to get along well with others, then people will feel comfortable enough to trust us.
I am sure popularity will come our way as long as we can do all the above.
