Tips!

This week on Tips we are looking at the subject of "making friends".

1. Start a conversation. Compliment somebody or just smile, or if you are feeling brave ask them question like, "Hi, how old are you? I'm ten".

2. Take an interest in them. If they do start talking to you, listen because if you don't they may think you a little rude. People like it when others are interested in them, it's makes them feel good inside.

3. If you're the chatty one and they're the shy one then make a move! Sometimes if someone is shy they may be scared to start talking to someone they haven't met before. Be prepared and as soon as you start chatting, they're sure to join in!

Short Story

Continued... "Er... Hi?" Jane offered. "Hiya! I'm Tilly and this is Angleton Gardens, run by Miss Sophie Cristen. She is really nice but also forgetful. MISS CRISTEN! I love her. Even though it doesn't look like that" Tilly happily introduced. Suddenly a pretty, young lady (much prettier than any other lady who ever lived!) walked down wooden steps (stairs) with a smile on her face. "Tilly! Why do you have to be so loud! Go and make yourself useful, get Joe. You two need to help Miss Adams with her luggage" Miss Cristen discussed. Her ginger hair just under her shoulders. "Jane! How are you? Did you like Bob, the Total Taxis driver? He's top class at jokes!" Miss Cristen welcomed keenly.

"I'm fine, I don't know who Bob is. You see, I waited for twenty minutes outside Embleson Gates and they still didn't come so I got directions and..." but Jane was interrupted. "You walked! I can't believe they didn't come! I'm so sorry! Oh no, what will Mrs Mill say?" Miss Cristen worried. "She won't find out, not if I can help it" Jane commented. Joe and Tilly appeared and Joe waved to Jane, he knew her from Embleson. "Is this an actual orphanage?" Jane looked around. "Well, it's more of a hotel for kids and teens who are homeless, hurt or orphans or just lost in the world" Miss Cristen remarked.
