Соч 8 класс Task 1. Mark the following sentences TRUE or FALSE

Trent Simons

People think identical twins have the same tastes and personalities, but my brother and I are very different: I’m keen on sport and I’m really fit and active; he hardly ever does anything. I’m confident, I go out, I’m captain of the football team, but he’s really quiet. He has friends, but they’re a bit strange and they always play video games together. We’re probably different because we go to different schools and my parents don’t treat us as ‘the twins’, you know, as one person. Apart from our appearance, I think the only thing that is genetic is having poor sight. But then he wears thick glasses and I wear contact lenses!

1. John has the same tastes and personalities as his brother.

2. John is active while his brother does nothing in sport.
