It's hard when a best friend isn't around-maybe because he or she moved to a different school or a different class. You may feel left out(被冷落) during break or lunchtime. You want to make new friends,but it seems like everybody else already has his or her own friends. But there's always room for more friends.

   ▲  Think about which kids you'd like to play with during break. Look for chances to say hi to them, smile and be friendly. Share something or express your appreciation(欣赏) to them. Invite someone to play with you or say "Do you want to si t here?" in the lunchroom. When you're at break, walk over to the kids you want to play with, act friendly and say "Hi, may I join you?".

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 people. The best way to make friends is to be a friend.Being kind, being friendly, sharing and offering help—you'll have new friends.

You might still miss that special best friend. But when you see each other again, you can share something you didn't have before he or she left. You can introduce(介绍) him or her to your new friends!
