I have been 1 London for two weeks.I don't 2 English well at all.I have great difficulty in understanding people.3 fact I don't catch a thing they say.I find their pronunciation is 4 strange(陌生) 5 me to understand and they speak 6 that I can't keep up 7 them.When I am on a bus,I ask the conductor something.He answers,but I don't understand.So he says it slowly in a higher 8ndline.I still don't get it.Then he gets angry and goes away.But I have not lost heart.I still enjoy 9 English.I must keep on working hard 10 it.I believe I will speak English well one day.
Martin Henfield talks about some of his experiences(经历) as a twin:"When we were small,my mother dressed us 1 the same clothes.That was bad enough and we didn't like it.But when we went on our first camping(野营) trip with the Scouts(童子军),it
was even 2 ndline.We were only ten year8 01d,and while 3 went into their sleeping bags for the night,we were not happy to snuggle inside a double sleeping bag my mother made for us."
At school our classmates 4 us Henfield One and Henfield Two,so people couldn't even see our difference according to our initials (姓名的开头字母) because 5 of us were M.H.It was only when I went to college and began to have my own friends that I started to feel my own freedom of identity(身份).
Before I went to college(大学),during my last secondary school 6 ndline,I got a job on a building site.My twin brother,Mike Henfield,didn't work.He was resting.One day I said to the foremail(工头),"Can I have a week off?" "Certainly,"he said,"but you won't have the job when you 7 back." I didn't want to 8 the job.So on Monday morning,Mike went to the building site in my jeans(牛仔裤),jacket and hat and he worked for me for one week.9 of them knew the difference.
Now I am growing old and I feel very different 10 my twin brother.And he'll tell you the same.We have really worked towards that for forty years.
