Making friends is a skill like many other skills.It improves with practice.If you want to meet people and make friends,you must be willing to take some actions.You must first go where there are people.You won’t make friends staying home alone.Join a club or a group.Talking with those who like the same things as you do is much easier.Or join someone in some activities.Many people are nervous when talking to strangers.After all,meeting strangers means facing the unknown.And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves.We imagine other people are judging us or finding us too tall or too short,too this or too that.But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same way.Try to accept yourself as you are and try to put the other person at ease.You’ll both feel more comfortable.
Try to act self-confidently even if you don’t feel that way.When you enter a room full of strangers,such as a new classroom,walk tall and straight,look directly at other people and smile.
If you see someone you’d like to speak to,say something.Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.
Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person—friendship is based on mutual liking and “give and take”.It takes time and effort to develop.

The transition from old fuels to new will be slow, as will the development of new technologies that present feasible alternatives to fossil fuels or help eliminate food and water problems. All current technologies are inadequate, and new ones will probably not be commercially possible by 2025
