Hey Yuna. Do you have any siblings?

Yes, I have twin brothers.

Twin brothers? Are they identical?

Yes, they look alike, but they are very different.

What do you mean?

Well, my one brother – Felix – is outgoing.  He loves being around people, and he’s always the life of the party. He tells great stories, and everyone knows him. He has so many friends!

But my other brother – Lucas – is more introverted. He can’t stand crowded places or big events. But he is a really good friend. He is dependable. He is always ready to support a friend. If you need something, you can count on him to help.

I see. Yes, it sounds like they have opposite personalities. Do they also have different hobbies, or are their interests similar?

No, they’re always doing different things. Felix loves outdoor activities like rock climbing and skiing. He’s adventurous. He likes trying new things and going to new places. He’s a risk-taker. He likes to try risky and dangerous things. For example, he went skydiving for his birthday last year.

Yikes. That sounds scary to me. Ok, let me guess – Lucas likes to read?

 Yes, he does enjoy reading, but he is passionate about art. He is so talented.  He can draw, paint, or design anything. He works hard and he creates incredible art!

That is really interesting. And what about you – are you more like Felix or Lucas?

I’d say I’m somewhere in the middle.  I love being creative like Lucas, but I also really enjoy going out and being active. However, I’m not a risk-taker like Felix. I prefer to be safe.

I get it! Hey, I’m going skating this afternoon. Do you want to join me? I promise it won’t be too dangerous!

Sure! That sounds great.
