Smiles Shorten the Distance Between People

As the proverb puts it, a smile is the shortest distance between two people. In my opinion, a smile could bring people closer and we should smile as much as we can.

Firstly, a smile may help ease the tension in personal relationship. For example, when we make a mistake, a smile of our parents may remove our fears, what's more, give us the courage to amend and make progress. During the process, we become closer to our parents. Secondly, a smile may help break the ice between two strangers. For instance, when we fall down on the ground, we will be grateful if a stranger with a smile on his or her face gives a hand to us. We'll suddenly feel warm in the heart and feel the distance between the stranger and us is much shorter, and if we are lucky enough, we make a new friend.

To conclude, a smile could be an effective way to shorten the distance between people. Hence, it is advisable for people to smile more, not only to our beloved ones but also strangers. By doing so, we can build a more harmonious world and live a happier life. (198 words)

第二段：从两个方面举例说明"微笑"如何拉近人与人之间的距离。

第三段：得出结论，指出"微笑"的确是拉近人与人之间距离的有效手段，最后呼吁大家多微笑。

微笑拉近人与人之间的距离

俗话说：微笑是两个人之间最短的距离。在我看来，微笑可以拉近人与人之间的距离，我们应该尽可能地多微笑。

首先，微笑可以缓和紧张的人际关系。例如，当我们犯了错，父母的一个微笑就可以消除我们的恐惧，并给予我们勇气去改正错误并取得进步。在这个过程中，我们与父母变得更加亲近。其次，微笑可以打破两个陌生人之间的沉默。例如，当我们摔倒在地，我们会对那个伸手帮助我们的面带微笑的陌生人充满感激。我们会突然之间觉得内心很温暖，也会觉得自己和陌生人之间的距离拉近了，而且如果我们够幸运的话，我们又结交了一位新朋友。

总的来说，微笑是拉近人与人之间距离的一种很有效的方式。因此，多微笑，不只是对我们所爱的人，而且对陌生人，是十分可取的。如此一来，我们就能够建设一个更加和谐的世界，生活得也更加幸福。
