заголовок лишний.

5. Small differences
6. No difference at all
7. Different rules
8. Learning to be different
A. John and James are identical twins but they don't go to the same school. Their parents felt
this would help them develop individual tastes, interests and styles - but the boys at first
hated the idea. Now they are really happy at their schools but occasionally they swap
places just for fun! The brothers are best friends but they now agree that their parents
were probably correct.
B. Anna and Beth are twin sisters but they are most unlike each other. Technically they are
"non-identical" twins. Anna is blonde and Beth is a brunette. Anna is noisy, energetic and
always crashing around to hip hop and rap. Beth is much quieter and likes listening to
classical music and reading. Anna eats anything and Beth is a vegetarian. But they are,
absolutely, the closest and best of friends.
C. The Perkins children, Sally and John, both study hard every evening after college and
most weekends. Sally studies French, History and Art. She plans to go to university in
Paris and wants to either work in a museum or an art sale room. John studies the Russian
language, business studies and Maths. He wants to study in St Petersburg and to set up
his own important business. I am sure both will succeed.
D. Greg's dad believes that there is no original, exciting new music being written and
performed today. Greg strongly disagrees and can name several new bands and singers
that are both completely original and really popular. But his Dad is a professional
musician and was quite successful when he was young. He argues that nearly every
successful song now is simply a reworked version of an older one.
E. In the UK you can legally do different things depending on your age. You can vote for a
new government at 18 but at 17 you cannot drink a beer. At 16 you can marry and
become a parent but you cannot drive to your wedding or make a traditional toast!
Meanwhile lots of bars and clubs are open only to people above 21 which means, married,
voting, car driving parents could still be too young to enter.
F. Serious stamp collectors are men and women who appreciate details. To the casual
observer, the oldest postage stamps in the world - the Victorian "Penny Blacks" - all
look identical. Millions were made but only a few of them are truly valuable. A serious
collector knows this and the ability to find tiny variations in the paper, ink or code used
helps them to find the "Penny Black's" that are rare and valuable.
G. Dina Ruiz has Japanese and black ancestry on her father's side of the family and English,
Welsh and German on her mother's. She was born in California and married her husband,
actor Clint Eastwood, in Las Vegas. When she first met Eastwood, she was 28 and he
was 63. She is most famous as a TV news "anchor" and is Chair of the California
Museum for History, Women and the Arts.

WRITING
Time: 30 minutes
You have found the following text in the Internet. Comment on this piece of
information:
Nothing beats a real book!
Call me oldfashioned, but I like a good book. And by that, I mean a real book. One
that you can flick the pages of, one that you can put a bookmark in, one that has a
battered cover and broken spine. Last year, I was given an e-book, Kindle. I have
never actually read a book on it. There’s something frustrating about having to
charge it up before I can read; with a real book you can just open it and begin and
my fingers miss the familiar ritual of turning the page.
However successful these devices can be, nothing can beat the appeal of a genuine
book for me. After all, if I’m short of cash, or don’t necessarily want to re-read a
book, I can always go to the library and borrow a book. For free!
