Option 1

This article is about why some people can become friends and how to make friends. According to Dr. Zunin, the first four minutes are completely important, for we can judge if we want to make friends with others by these four minutes and the impression left by others.

When I meet someone, I’d like to portray a polite and elegant image. But sometimes I may fail to behave in such a graceful way, and I hate such kind of feeling. Once I met a Chinese from my FYE class, I just wanted to be active and excited. However, things went the opposite way. I made myself overconfident, and I had no idea why I was like this. After that, I felt so disgusting of myself and so depressed.

I like to be myself when I meet someone. Actually, I’ve never met someone first time and shown him/her the real personality of me. Every time I met a person, things do not turn as I wish always, either too shy or too confident. I cannot handle it in a balanced way. I really wish I could meet a person whom I could show the real me!

However, after I read this article, I feel that I could find a good way to handle the first impression I leave on others.
