Friendship and school life are closely connected. A study shows that students with good friends often have a happier school life. Here are some tips to make friends and enjoy school more.
First, be honest. Honest students are more likely to make true friends. If you make a mistake, tell the truth. Your classmates will trust you more. Second, be active in class and after-school activities. Joining clubs like the chess club or art club can help you meet students with the same interests. You can talk about your favorite activities and share ideas.
Third, be caring. If your classmate is unhappy because of a bad test result, ask them how they feel. You can help them with their homework or tell a funny joke to make them feel better. Fourth, learn to listen. When your friend talks about their school problems, listen carefully. Don’t interrupt (打断) them. Listening shows you care about them.
Finally, remember that friendship takes time. You can’t make a best friend in one day. Spend time with your classmates—play sports together or have lunch together. Gradually, you will find friends who make your school life more colorful.

Last term, my school started a “Friendship Pair” activity. The idea was to pair new students with old ones to help them get used to school life. I was paired with Lucy, a new student from another city.
At first, Lucy was quiet. She didn’t talk much in class and often ate lunch alone. I decided to help her. Every morning, I waited for her at the school gate and walked to class together. I told her about our school rules, like where the library is and when the lunch break starts. We also joined the badminton club together—Lucy loved sports but didn’t know how to join clubs before.
After a month, Lucy became more outgoing. She started talking to other classmates and even helped a new student who joined later. Last week, our class had a small party. Lucy sang a song, and everyone cheered for her. She told me, “Thanks to you, I feel like this is my home now.”
This activity taught me that small acts of kindness can help others a lot. It also made my school life more meaningful—helping Lucy made me feel happy too.
