I have twin brothers, Tim and Tom. They look the same and a lot of people don't know which twin is which. They both have brown hair and blue eyes, and they always wear jeans and T-shirts.
They like wearing the same things, and they like doing the same things, too. For example, they both like pop music, football and computer games. They go to a football match every Saturday. They'd like to play computer games games every night, but our mother says they can't do that because they have a lot of homework.
They're twins, but they aren't the same in some ways. For example, Tim works hard at school, but Tom doesn't.
Our mother is often away from home because she travels a lot in her job, so we all help in the house.
I think it's fun to have twin brothers.

I'm Larry. I'm really good at selling things. I also love helping people. But I'm not so good at solving problems. I think I'd like to be a salesman or a detective.
I'm Anita. I really like doing things with my hands. I also enjoy working with wood. I don't enjoy working in the same place every day, and I hate being in noisy places. I think I'd like to be an artist or a carpenter.
I'm Jill. I'm good at explaining things and I really like children. I can't stand working long hours. I think I'd like to be a doctor or a teacher.
I'm Maria. I'm really interested in meeting people, and I enjoy wearing different clothes every day. I'm not so good at organizing my time and I can't stand computers, I am going to be a model.
I'm Jim. I enjoy helping people, but I can't stand working nights and weekends. I want to be a social worker.
In America when people meet each other for the first time, they talk about things like weather, family, work, school, or sports. They ask questions like "Do you have any brothers or sisters?" "Where do you work?" "What school do you go to?" and "Do you like sports?" They also ask questions like "Where do you come from?" and "Where do you live?" These are polite questions, not personal questions.
But some things are personal or private, and questions about them are not polite. People don't ask questions about a person's salary (薪水). They don't ask how much someone paid for something. It is OK to ask children how old they are, but it is not polite to ask older people about their age. It is also not polite to ask people questions about politics (政治) or religion (宗教) if you don't know them very well. People don't ask unmarried people "Why are you single?" and they don't ask a married couple with no children "Why don't you have any children?"

I have a good friend. His name is Nick. Both of us like watching movies and all of talent shows. Last Sunday afternoon, we went to the cinema together. The cinema is the to our homes. So we walked there. It has the biggest and the most comfortable in town. You can sit there comfortably, watch great movies and your time with your friends. We saw a funny movie called Mr. Bean. I think it's the movie I've seen.
After we got out of the cinema, we went to a restaurant near the cinema to have a . The food was really delicious. What's more, it's the cheapest in town and it has the friendliest .
Then we watched a show on TV. It was very interesting. Every was good at something, but some of them were truly talented.
For anyone experiencing the struggle of foreign language learning, here's my way of learning Chinese.
Study abroad.
You can try to study abroad. It's the laziest method because although my Chinese is so poor right now. Every day I'm still exposed (曝光的) to so much. It helps me keep good level of Chinese.
Find friends who don't speak English.
Finding friends who don't speak your mother tongue (母语) is the best way to improve. And this doesn't even need to be local friends. I liked to hang out with Korean and Japanese friends because they were also learning Chinese. We were asked not to speak English but Chinese. In this way, my Chinese skills improved a lot.
Go to KTV.
Singing is such a great group activity, but it is terrible when you don't know the songs. Ask your friends for a list of classic KTV songs and start learning your favourites. You'll learn more grammar structures. For example, you can learn lots of romantic sounding phrases to express your love in Chinese songs.
Watch YouTube!
If you don't have time for foreign language films or TV shows, find vlogs (视频博客) or even different kinds of shows by people who speak your desired language! I love watching vlogs in Chinese because it's another way to get used to hearing real-life conversations. And it is a good way to learn new slangs (俚语) and phrases.
I think language learning is sometimes difficult, but try to keep it fun!
