原版英语对话1000个:196 Twins

OK, my twin brother. Well, my twin brother is called Daniel, and he is four minutes younger than me. We were both born on the 5th of January, and I think that we kind of look a like except that he's a lot taller than me and he has very dark hair but we have the same eyes and nose and smile, at least that's what people say. Um, I wouldn't say we are especially close, mm, not really, maybe when we were younger but we weren't always in the same classes at school because my parents wanted us to be a bit more different. Um, we used to be dressed when we were babies the same, me in pink and him in blue, and we used to have a birthday cake that was always, half was pink and half was blue, and mine had ballet¹ slippers² on it and his a football or a rugby ball, but I guess we are quite different personalities³. He's really, really outgoing, and just very different from me. At school I was always in the top classes getting A's and he was always failing in the bottom classes, but he was really sporty and I wasn't so people said we were very different.
