初來乍到，身處新的環境，面對一個個陌生的面龐，你是否會懼怕緊張、無所適從？如果是，那么不妨來聆聽一些建議吧。
Imagine being in the hallway of a crowded school. The bell is ringing and countless students are changing classes. The noise of conversation and the smell of freshly sharpened pencils fill the air. You're new in town and this is your first day at school. Because of the fact that you don't know anyone yet \\(except the principal\\), you're instantly overcome1\\) with feelings of fear and nervousness. You're afraid that you won't fit in, someone will make fun of your hair, or you'll just simply embarrass yourself by saying the wrong things. Everyone has had a moment where they're not really sure about how they'll succeed in a new environment. But with the following suggestions, you'll know just what it takes to achieve in a new surrounding.
想象你此刻站在一所十分擁擠的學校的走廊上。下課鈴聲響起，不計其數的學生穿梭于不同班級之間?？諝庵谐涑庵须s的聊天聲和剛削尖的鉛筆的味道。你剛搬來鎮上，而今天又是你來新學校的第一天。\\(除了校長之外\\)你還不認識任何人，所以你便立刻被恐懼和不安的感覺包圍。你害怕自己會不適應，怕有人會嘲笑你的發型，或是怕說錯了話讓自己陷入尷尬的境地。每個人都有過這樣的時刻，不太確定自己如何才能順利適應新環境。但是，有了以下幾條建議，你就會明白怎樣做就能在一個新環境中如魚得水。
1. Join a Team or Volunteer
By swallowing2\\) your fears and taking a chance, you'd be surprised at all the possibilities that can occur by doing extracurricular activities. You'll make friends, contribute to your school's overall success, and increase your confidence along the way. Volunteering also does wonders3\\) and it looks really good on college applications as well. Participating in extracurricular activities is an excellent way to make friends and become active in your school.
2. Smile and Be Nice
Even though you might feel afraid to speak to others, it's important to remember that being a nice person goes a long way4\\). When you show people that you are friendly, it tells them that you are a good person who gets along well with others. Encourage yourself to be the first one to talk to people. It's quite possible that they are just as nervous around others as you are, so make them feel comfortable and be the first to speak up.
3. Be a Good Listener
When you show people that you are a good listener, it shows them that you genuinely5\\) care about what they are saying. Showing another person that you are concerned with everything that goes on in their life assures them that you are as authentic6\\) as solid gold. This is yet another way to make friends in a new environment.
4. Be Trustworthy
Nobody likes a gossiper or someone who stabs7\\) them in the back. Would you like someone to tell your most forbidden secrets to the entire world? Of course not, so it isn't wise to do it to someone else. It's the golden rule: Do unto8\\) others as you would have them do unto you. When someone trusts you completely, it's something that shouldn't be taken lightly. Trust is something to be cherished and nourished9\\), and showing others that you can be trusted is essential to making new friends.
