避免一般疑问句

1. Ask questions that require more than a one-word response. You do not want to put the other person in a position to be able to say yes or no. Instead of saying "are you going away this weekend?" ask "where are you going this weekend?" Now the person will probably answer with a location, for example, the beach. Now you have something else to talk about! The beach, silly!
避免问一般疑问句。不要问对方“你周末是否出去？”而是问“你周末有什么打算？”然后你可以沿着他的话题接着问下去。

仔细聆听

2 Keep conversations active by listening and responding physically. Nod your head. Display appropriate facial expressions. Smile. Look your new friend right smack in the eye.
问问题的同时仔细聆听。觉得正确的地方，点头表示同意，保持微笑。

积极回应对方话题

3 Don't forget to respond verbally too. Show an interest in what the other person is saying. If your new friend is interested in something you know nothing about, Shakespeare, for example, ask about it. Why was Shakespeare so famous? What plays did that guy write, again? What century did he live in? Convince yourself that you want to know, and soon you will be having a very engaging conversation.
积极回应对方的话题，如果确实不知道，可以请教对方，例如，如果对方说道莎士比亚，你可以问为什么他这么出名，他写过什么著作等等。

组织活动

4 Plan activities that allow you to spend quality time together. Making consistent contact with the other person - either by phone, e-mail, or in person - will let them know that you enjoy their company.
组织活动。可以积极组织活动，一起外出，平时可以保持练习。

自己的兴趣和观点

5 Be honest about your own interests and opinions. This will help the other person get to know you as well.
诚实陈述自己的兴趣和观点，这有助于对方进一步认识你。

培养对方的兴趣

6 Keep their interest, tell them the most interesting things about yourself and your family and your likes and dislikes.
培养对方的兴趣，并将自己的，家人的喜好告诉对方。

互助

7 Offer to share something nice, like cookies. Or you can offer them a pencil in class if they don't have one.
互助。分享食物或者是借给对方物品。

热爱生活

8.People are drawn to those who look like they are enjoying life, so look the part; don't forget that winning smile.
人都喜欢接触热爱生活的人，所以，不要忘记展现最快乐的笑容。

不要热情过度

9.If you haven't talked to the person before, don't just explode with conversation and interest one day at random. While occasionally this can leave a positive impression, a lot of the time people will wonder if you're trying too hard. Casual asides to a person leading up to conversations are a better way to go.
如果你从来没有和对方说过话，切忌直接找对方说话或谈论彼此的兴趣，虽然偶尔会给人留下好的印象，更多时候你的热情会吓跑对方。

不问对方隐私

10.Don't ask extremely personal questions or reveal personal information about yourself that might make the other person uncomfortable. If this person is right for you, there will be plenty of time for this later.
不要问极度私人的问题让对方觉得不好意思。如果你们确实可以成为好朋友，何必急于一时呢？
