Smiling is the best way of making friends.

When I was thirteen   46  old, my father found a job in the city. So my family moved there. I also came to a   47  school near where we live. My old school was far away. At first, I did not know anyone in my class. I was very lonely 48  I was afraid to make friends with my classmates. I   49  talk to anyone about my problem, and I didn’t want my parents to   50  me.

Then one day, something good happened. I was sitting at my desk 51  as usual while my classmates were talking happily with each other. At that moment,   52  came into the classroom. I didn’t know who he was. He passed me and then turned back. He looked   53  me and, without a word, smiled. Suddenly, I felt happy, lively and warm. That smile changed my life. I started to talk with the other classmates and made friends. Day by day, I became   54  to everyone in my class.
