Match the paragraphs to the headings. Main tips to make new friends
When people meet for the first time they
want to seem perfect. But friendship should
start from the truth. Show all your real
emotions and feelings, and people will like
you the way you are.
Stay in touch
Once you make friends, do not lose touch
with them. Follow each other on social
networks and take phone numbers. Agree
to meet somewhere next time.
Be yourself!
If you want to meet people with common
interests, you can choose a place to go.
If
you like sports, you can join the Sports Club.
If you enjoy reading, then the Book Club will
be the best choice. If you are interested in
active leisure, join a walking group.

My name`s Diana. I`m 11. I`ve been learning English for three years. I have liked English from the first lesson because I have found it interesting and funny to speak with my friends in a foreign language. I thought it was enough to learn English only at school. Everything changed a year ago.
Last summer I happened to go to Canada. To tell the truth, my aunt and uncle live in Toronto and invited me to see them. I spent my best days with them. Every day I spoke English with native speakers, ate delicious food, did shopping and went sightseeing.
First of all, my aunt and I visited the CN Tower. Itis one of the world`s tallest buildings. It is famous for its glass floor and speed elevators. As for me, I was impressed by the breathtaking view of Toronto from the top of the tower.
I couldn`t help visiting Niagara Falls. They are beautiful and impressive. To quote my aunt, "It was like looking into the face of God".
I was impressed by Casa Loma. It`s an ancient castle. It was built by the extraordinary man Henry Pellatt. He spent all his money on this building. I saw 98 richly decorated rooms, secret passages and towers. I knew a lot about the history of the castle.
Also, I went to Toronto Zoo. It has got more than 5,ooo animals. There are ponds, waterfalls and floral displays.
On returning home I realized that I can learn English not only at school. I can enjoy watching films, read English books in the original, speak with native speakers and understand them. I understood that my education is in my hands.
Perhaps, I`ll go to Toronto to continue my education. I don`t mind studying in Canada. And you?
Thanks for your letter.
I wish I'd been at that party and had fun with all of you! I usually have birthday parties. I invite some of my class- mates and closest friends. Besides birthdays my friends have New Year's parties, but I don't attend them since New Year is a family celebration here. My favorite celebration is Halloween, which has become popular here. However it's not allowed in my school, that's why my friends and I have Halloween parties at home. We dress up in costumes have snacks and drinks play jokes, dance and tell scary stories. Sometimes our parents join us. I really think this day is for fun!
Tell me about your grandma's visit. How long did she stay? What did you do? Does she live far away? Write soon!
Love,
