21、Being outgoing is good for your life．Those people who are more outgoing like to meet lots of

people and have more fun in life．In fact, being outgoing is not as hard as you think．Even shy

people can be outgoing．

   You can start becoming outgoing with your best friend or a group of friends．But the real

challenge（挑战）comes when you meet strange people or new friends．Smile more, and usually

they will return your smile．In this way, you may have some talks．

   Start a talk．Just a simple greeting like“Hello”or “How is it going”is a good start．If you

want to make interesting talks, you should read news in newspapers and prepare（准备）your

views, or surf the Internet for new information and then keep that in mind．

   The easiest way to become more outgoing is to go out．This is also the most important step．Go

to a park, beach, club, party or any place that you think can be fun, and you may make new friends

there．
