Greet sb.
Say hello to your classmates when you see them in the corridor or other places. Hello or good morning? In this way, they will know that you have noticed them, and they will also notice you.
Don't be afraid to ask your American classmates questions.
In America, people don't think you are rude because you ask questions. Everyone should ask questions, ask them if they want, and don't hesitate.
Various activities organized by associations that are integrated into the school.
Dare to try something new to you. Such an attempt will help you join the club, make friends and get to know each other.
Brave and fearless
I know you may be too timid to speak. Be brave. Since you dare to go to America independently, you have enough courage to make American friends. Believe in yourself and take courage.
Have a sense of humor.
To do this, there are requirements for language. If American students want to speak Chinese, but sometimes they make mistakes, the effect will be as interesting as if you made mistakes in English. You know, your English is much better than their Chinese. So when others correct your words and grammar, don't lose heart and keep practicing.
There is no need to pursue perfection.
Once you arrive in America, the classmates here will welcome you and want to know you, but if you keep ignoring them, they won't wait to make friends with you, so it will be more difficult for you to make friends. Therefore, we should take the initiative to make American friends from the first day.
Do the most true to yourself
Whether you are diligent, humorous, keen to participate in various sports activities, or a member of the student union. Be yourself anyway, and then make friends honestly.
There are some things to avoid.
First, try not to be alone all the time. If no one is around, there will be no friendship-when others ask you to try new things, don't always refuse, which will help you make friends.
Secondly, it is also the most difficult. Try to avoid always being with classmates from the same country.
No matter where you are, even if only one person can't understand your mother tongue, don't speak your mother tongue. Try to speak English. This not only exercises your English, but also eliminates misunderstandings, lest others think that you are indifferent to them or talk about them without their knowledge. Remember this, everyone will feel more comfortable and you will become a better friend of others.
