Problem: Article: After you have successfully began making small talk with her, you can now have an actual conversation.  Ask her how her day is going to show that you are interested in her life.  Most people enjoy talking about themselves, so she will likely welcome the opportunity and be flattered that you asked. You can approach her and say something like “Hey, how’s your day going so far?” .  There is an old adage that says that “the way to a woman’s heart is to make her laugh”.  If you don’t know her, making her laugh might be difficult since you aren’t aware of her sense of humor.  However, you can work on picking out little funny things about your school that she is likely to find funny.. For instance, maybe your teacher does something that is funny to you like using the word “irregardless.”  You could say something humorous like “I think it’s so funny how we have an English teacher who uses words that aren’t words!” Take some time when you talk to her to find out more about her as a person.  If you don’t know her name, start there.  If you don’t know what year she is, ask her if she’s the same year as you.  She will gradually begin to open up and you can start asking more personal questions like “what do you like to do for fun?” or “what’s your favorite movie?” Talk about yourself some, as well, but don’t overdo it.  You don’t want to dominate the conversation.  You might say something like “I’m in the 7th grade, too” or “I got into college and I’m really excited about it.”  She will likely ask some questions about you, as well. Aim to talk slightly less than you listen.. After establishing some rapport with her, you can pay her a small compliment.  Don’t give compliments that are physical or that are overly detailed just yet.  She may be put off by that and uncomfortable talking to you thereafter. You might say something like “you’re really good at soccer” or “I saw you stick up for your friend to that bully.  You’re a really nice friend, it seems.” If you have spoken with her several times, then you might try asking her to sit with you. For example, you can invite her to sit with you at lunch so you can talk some more.  If she still wants to sit with her friends, don’t be pushy.  You can try asking her again at a later time once you have had more conversations. She may be intimidated to sit with you if you sit with a lot of your guy friends, so tell her that you two can sit alone if she likes. The conversations with her don’t have to stop after this first real interaction.  You can continue to speak to her after this, even when you are not at school.  Ask her for her phone number and see if she’s okay with you calling or texting her sometimes.  Ask her something like “I really have enjoyed talking to you.  Can I have your number so I can call or text you sometime?” She may prefer to give you her social media information.  You can talk to her that way, as well. Her parents may be strict and may not allow her to talk to boys.  If so, be respectful.  You can still talk to her at school.
Summary: Ask her about her day. Make her laugh Find out more about her. Pay her a small compliment. Invite her to sit with you. Ask for her number.

Problem: Article: The best way to make new friends is to meet a bunch of new people. Attend activities or events in your area that seem fun, or join a club or Meetup that’s focused on an interest of yours. This will help you meet like-minded people who might become good friends. Here are some ways you could meet potential new friends:  Take classes. Attend events related to your interests. Take up a new hobby.  Volunteer. Join a faith group. When you meet a person that you think might be a good friend, ask them to hang out so you can get to know them better. Choose a casual, low-pressure activity that you think you’ll both enjoy. Extend invitations to different people until you feel like you’ve made some good friends. You might invite them to go bowling, attend an art exhibit, visit a museum, go to an improv show, attend a local concert, or play billiards. When you’re hanging out with your new friends, stay off your phone and don’t bring up past issues with other friends. Instead, stay focused on the person you’re talking to. This shows them you’re genuinely interested in them and can help you build a friendship faster. Put your phone on silent so you’re less distracted by notifications. Don’t worry about labeling your friendship or finding common ground at first. Just ask the person questions about themself and really pay attention to the answers. Over time, you’ll naturally find common ground or will realize this friendship isn’t a good match for you. Trying to apply labels too soon in a relationship puts too much pressure on it, and it might scare off your new friend. It’s normal to want to make an instant connection, but that rarely happens. Be patient because it takes time to form a real connection with someone. Keep spending time with your new friends so that you can deepen your bond. There’s no official timetable for a friendship. Sometimes you’re fast friends, while other times the friendship takes a while to develop.
Summary: Go places so you can meet new people. Invite people who seem compatible with you to hang out. Give your potential friends your full attention while you’re with them. Focus on getting to know the other person. Give your friendship time to grow.

Problem: Article: This is on the top of the camera, towards the left if the back of the camera is facing towards you.  The flat end of the canister will be pointing upwards. You may find you have to rotate it a little in one direction for the fork attached to it to fully enter the film canister. This is normal. Ensure that the film properly engages the sprockets as marked in the picture.  The shutter might not fire the first time if it's not armed already, of course, in which case just wind the camera on. Don't fire the shutter once the frame counter reads 1; this is the first frame on your roll. The film speed dial is in the same place as the shutter speed dial; it's the silver dial around the outside, which can move independently.To change the film speed, pull the silver ring around the shutter speed dial upwards. While holding it there, rotate the dial until you have set your desired film speed.Notice that the MTL3 has both DIN and ASA settings; modern films typically give their ratings in ASA (which is called ISO on digital cameras). (For example, Fuji Velvia 50 is ASA 50, not 50 ° DIN, the latter being equivalent to an ASA speed in the high five figures.
Summary:
Lift the rewind knob. Pull it a little further and the back of the camera will spring open. Drop a 35mm film canister into the chamber on the left hand side. Push the rewind knob all the way down. Pull the film leader away from the canister till the tip is at the green index mark on the right hand side, next to the take-up spool. Close the back of the camera. Press the shutter button, then wind on your film. Repeat the above step until the frame counter reads 1, as pictured. Set the film speed on the film speed dial.
