Maggie and Samantha are twin sisters. Sometimes many students have a hard time telling which is which. They have blonde hair, just like their dad does. They have green eyes, just like their mum does. They are around the same height too.
Every morning they take the yellow school bus and sit together. They have a lot in common(有……共同之处). Both girls enjoy the same TV shows. Both girls spend a lot of time with their family, and they both like to play with their dog, Callie.
But they are also very different. Maggie likes to play sports. Every Wednesday and Friday afternoon, she goes to the football club. Samantha doesn’t really like sports, but she likes to dance. When Maggie practises football in the club, she goes to the dancing lessons.
Maggie likes to read history books, but Samantha likes books about animals. Maggie gets better grades in reading and Spanish, while Samantha gets better grades in maths and science.
Though two people may come from the same family or look the same or have a lot in common, it doesn’t mean they are all the same. Everyone is different in their own way. That is what makes them special.

玛吉和萨曼莎是一对双胞胎姐妹。有时候很多学生很难分辨出谁是谁。她们有着和爸爸一样的金发，有着和妈妈一样的绿眼睛，身高也差不多。
