2017-09-01 环球教育

　　two people from the same family,这个话题看起来非常的宽泛，因为我们可以说一对夫妻，姐妹，兄弟或者是母子。这样的话题在我们看到的时候往往会觉得无从下手。实际上，我们只要仔细想想就可以发现，其实这样的话题给了我们很大的发挥空间。我们可以说自己身边的人，但如果身边的人1比较平淡没有发挥的空间，我们也可以根据生活经历来编造一些话题。接下来，就跟环球教育小编一起来看看对于这个话题，我们有哪些回答方式吧。

　　如果两个人的对比很明显，那就更容易了!所以，我们可以人为的造出来一对儿性格迥然的twins，剩下的人物设定，大家就可以自由发挥了：

　　I’d like to talk about my cousins who are identical twins. Although they look exactly the same, they have completely different characteristics.

　　And it’s kind of weird you know, ‘cause both of their parents, I mean, my uncle and my aunt, are super nice people, and they say apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, but that’s not the case in this family, one of the apples did fall far from the tree.

　　I mean, the older one is such a sweet boy. He’s only a high school student, but he’s so mature and thoughtful. For example, once when they were redecorating their apartment, he gave each of his neighbors a mini speaker. He explained to them, they could block out the noise using the speaker.

　　The other one, however, is really a pain the ass, a super troublemaker, to be exact. Breaking rules is his forte, and he always gets into trouble at school. He loves to pick a fight with others, and sometimes he could even be a bully. His parents are constantly called into the principal’s office. They really don’t know what to do with him.

　　So you see, it’s funny how twins that grow up under the same roof could have such contrasting personalities.

　　语料解析：

　　the apple doesn't fall/ never falls far from the tree = (saying) a child usually behaves in a similar way to his or her parent(s)

　　a pain the ass / neck = a person or thing that is very annoying

　　forte = a thing that somebody does particularly well 例如：

　　Languages were never my forte.

　　pick a fight/ quarrel (with somebody) = to deliberately start a fight or an argument with somebody 例如：
