We were both born on the 5th of January, and I think that we look alike very much. Daniel is a lot taller than me and he has very dark hair, but we have the same eyes and nose and smile. We weren’t always in the same classes at school because my parents wanted us to be a bit more different. We used to be dressed the same way, but different in color, me in red and him in blue, and we used to have a birthday cake that was always half was red and half was blue, but I guess we are quite different. He’s really, really active, and just very different from me. At school I was always in the top classes getting A’s and he was always failing the exams. He did a lot of sports but I didn’t, so people say we are very different. Question No. 26: When is their birthday? Question No. 27: What is the difference between the twins’ looks? Question No. 28: Why weren’t they always in the same classes? Question No. 29: How were they dressed when young? Question No. 30: How is the speaker different from her brother? 22. This is Radio Oxton. It’s six o’clock in the morning, and here is the local news. The bad weather has again brought lots of trouble in the local areas. The heavy snow which has been failing since yesterday afternoon has caused great difficulty to many. So please advise people not to drive to town. If you must go to town, take a bus or take a train. As the result of the bad weather, some schools in the countryside are closed. The students and teachers have not been able to get to school. In the city itself, however, schools open as usual. It’s going to snow all day today, and for at least two days. Bad news for many, although I guess kids would be happy. Well, that’s the news at six o’clock. The next news will be in two hours’ time at 8. And now let’s have some light music.8
