Original:

How do you make new friends? For me, a social butterfly and an extremely extrovert person, I think making new friends is just as easy as breathing. The common way that I make new friends is to deliver a helping hand when someone is in the face of some difficulties related to how to finish the homework or how to find a related essay, something like that. And whenever they have such difficulties, I will show up and I never ask for anything in return. And sometimes I will also talk to the one sitting next to me during the break of a class. So, for example, I will ask them, How do you feel about this lesson? How do you like this teacher or professor? Or do you know the new movies? How do you like those movies? Or will you participate in our school's oncoming activities? Something like that. So I make quite a lot of good friends every semester. And quite a lot of them are introvert people. And sometimes they will ask me, Oh, Cynthia, would you like to tell me again? How do you pick me out as your best friend in those multiverse introvert people? And I go, Yes, of course. That's for sure. So for me, making new friends is really a great pleasure. And having a lot of friends for me is evidence to be helpful and have a meaningful life.

Revised:

In my perspective, the essential qualities I seek in a friend are trustworthiness and a supportive nature. To make new friends, I often extend a helping hand to those facing challenges, such as completing homework or finding relevant essays. By offering assistance without expecting anything in return, I establish a foundation of trust and support.

For instance, during class breaks, I engage in conversations with my peers about various topics, such as their opinions on the lesson, their favorite movies, or upcoming school events. This approach allows me to connect with a diverse group of individuals and form lasting friendships each semester. Many of my friends are introverted, and they appreciate my outgoing nature and willingness to initiate conversations.

In conclusion, seeking trustworthiness and supportiveness in friends while actively engaging with others has allowed me to build meaningful relationships and enrich my life.

In my perspective (I chose this phrase to sound more natural), the essential qualities I seek in a friend are trustworthiness (I replaced "social butterfly" with "trustworthiness" because it is more relevant) and a supportive nature (I added "supportive nature" to emphasize the importance of support in friendships). To make new friends, I often extend a helping hand (I used "extend a helping hand" to convey the idea of offering assistance) to those facing challenges (I changed "difficulties" to "challenges" for variety), such as completing homework or finding relevant essays. By offering assistance without expecting anything in return, I establish a foundation of trust and support (I added this sentence to explain the benefits of helping others).

For instance (I used "for instance" for smoother transition), during class breaks, I engage in conversations with my peers about various topics (I rephrased this part for clarity), such as their opinions on the lesson, their favorite movies, or upcoming school events. This approach allows me to connect with a diverse group of individuals and form lasting friendships each semester (I added this sentence to emphasize the positive outcome of engaging with others). Many of my friends are introverted, and they appreciate my outgoing nature and willingness to initiate conversations (I included this detail to show the impact on introverted friends).
