- Hi, Kate.
- Oh, Tim, hi! I didn’t see you. Just reading for my literature exam. How are you doing?
- Fine, thanks. Look, you are coming to Ann’s birthday party this Saturday?
- No, unfortunately I can’t my aunt’s family is coming from France for the weekend so I’ll be with them.
- I see. I just asked because Ann invited me. And I don’t have any idea what kind of present to give her.
- Hmmm.
- Do you think she want to get a computer game? 
- I’m not sure.. she loves flowers and sweets as far as I know. And all kinds of closes and accessories. 
- Flowers would fade in a few days, sweets will disappear in minutes and I understand nothing about girl’s closes and accessories. I think I’ll give her a computer disc. 
- Well… if you want to.
- It’s always a problem for me to share presents. I feel absolutely lost and I don’t know what to choose.
- It’s every boy’s problem. But you are usually better us in sports and outdoor activities like camping.
- As for sports, I’m not really fit, but camping – yes, I love it. I don’t mind cooking when we camp, I can baked potatoes and barbequed meat.
- Can you? Not typical skill for a boy.
- Actually, when I was in scout camp all boys we able to cook simple dishes from very basic ingredients like potatoes, beans, canned meat and certainly fish. We even caught fish ourselves, it’s a basic skill for any scout. 
- Wow! You are a scout! 
- Yes, and we go camping every summer. I missed last summer season unfortunately. 
- Why?
- I broke my leg and spent the whole summer indoors. 
- Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Is everything fine with your leg now?
- Yes, absolutely. I’m sorry, Kate. I have to be off. I have to walk a dog. It’s actually my brother’s turn to do it today, but his favorite team is playing and he rushed to the stadium.
- I didn’t know you have a brother.
- Nobody believes that we are brothers. Actually we are twins. We were born in the same day, but we are completely different. We look different and we are different in characters as well. 
- Are you?
- Yes, mom says that we are from different planets. 

 

I missed last summer...I broke my leg and spent yhe whole summer indoors.
