A reader wrote in to say that she was feeling lonely at break because her best friend

wasn’t around．Here’s our advice to her—and to all kids who feel lonely sometimes．

    It’s hard when a best friend isn’t around—maybe because she moved to a different

school or a different class．You may feel lonely at break or lunchtime．You want to have new

friends．but how do you make them? Maybe it seems like everybody else already has their

friends．But remember, there’s always room for more friends．    。．

    Start by looking around your classroom—think about which kids you’d like to play

with at break．Look for chances to say hi to them，smile，and be friendly．Offer to share

something or express your appreciation(欣赏)to them．Invite someone to play with you or

 say “Do you want to sit here?” in the lunchroom．When you’re at break，walk over to kids

you want to play with．act friendly，and say “Hi，can l play, too?” or just join in．

    If you have trouble doing this or if you’re feeling shy, ask your teacher to help you make

 new friends．Teachers are usually pretty good at matching up friends．The best way to make

friends is to be a friend．Be kind，be friendly，share，say nice things，offer to help—and pretty soon，you’ll have one，or two，or even more new friends.

    You might still miss that special best friend．But when you see each other, you can share

 something you didn’t have before she left：You can introduce her to your new friends!

　　This year 1 twenty-three hundred teenagers from all over the world will spend about ten months in U. S. 2 . They will attend U. S, schools, meet U. S. teenagers, and form 3 of the real America. At the same time, about thirteen hundred American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new 4 and gain a new understanding of the rest of the world.

　　Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred, nineteen, spent last year in Germany with George's family. 5 , George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.

　　Fred, a lively young man; knew little German when he arrived, but after two months' study, the language began to come to him. School was completely different from what he had expected－much 6 . Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took fourteen subjects 7 the six that are usual in the United States：There were almost no 8 activities.

　　Family life, too, was different. The father's word was 9 , and all activities were around the family rather than the individual. Fred found the food too simple at first. 10 , he missed having a car.

　　“Back home, you 11 some friends in a car and go out and have a good time. In Germany, you walk, but you soon learn to like it.”

　　At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly 12 boy, was also forming his idea. “I suppose I should criticize American school,” he says. “It is far too easy by our 13 . But I have to say that I like it very much. In Germany we do nothing but 14 . Here we take part in many outside activities. I think that maybe your schools are better in training for 15. There ought to be some middle ground between the two.”

Very soon you are going to change from a junior high school student to a senior high school student．You will experience a new school life．Then how should you work in senior high school? Here is some advice for your new term．

Plan ahead．Get a wall calendar（日程表）．Mark the dates of important events such as tests．Set your own goals and follow them．When your calendar starts to fill，learn to say “no” to other activities until you ha4e reached your goal．

Stay ahead．Try not to fall behind．If you feel that you have fallen behind and started to feel worried，let your teachers know．It's better to get help early than to wait，thinking you can face the final exams．Almost everyone is struggling with a special subject or class．If you have trouble with a special subject or homework project，ask your teacher for help after class．Taking a few minutes to solve the problem right away can save time，and if your teacher knows that you're struggling with something，he or she is likely to be more understanding of the situation．

Take notes．Taking notes during classes can make recalling（回忆）information easier．If you take notes and review them before class or while studying for an exam，you can ask a teacher to go over anything you don't understand，It can also be helpful to go over notes with a friend after class．

Have a good attitude（态度）to tests．Tests may show what you have learned about a subject．They help you remember your new knowledge．So don't be too worried if you don't pass a test．The world won't end．
