UNIT 1 WHO IS WHO? TWINS Tom and Greg are twins. They look the same. They are both tall and thin and they have both got dark eyes and black hair. Sometimes their friends don’t know who is Greg and who is Tom. They are both good students – clever and hard-working. They have got the same personality, too. They are quiet, shy and serious. And they often think the same. Tom sometimes starts a sentence and Greg finishes it. Jessie and John are twins too, but they look different. They have both got fair hair but Jessie’s hair is long and straight and John’s hair is short and curly. Jessie is clever and she is hard-working.
