I have twin brothers, Tim and Tom. They are very similar and a lot of people don’t know which is

which. They both have blond hair and blue eyes, and they always wear jeans and T-shirts.

They like doing the same things, too. For examples, they both like jazz and they’re crazy about football.

They go to football match once a week. Tim doesn’t like dancing or discos and Tom doesn’t like them,

either. Although they’re twins, they’re not exactly the same at everything. Tim works hard at school

because he wants to go to the university, but Tom is a bit lazy. Our mother is often away from home

because of her job, so we all work together in the house. Most of the time it’s fine, but sometimes we

fight a bit.
