Speaker 1 – Trent Simons

People think identical twins have the same tastes and personalities, but my brother and I are very different: I’m keen on sport and I’m really fit and active; he hardly ever does anything. I’m confident, I go out, I’m a captain of the football team, but he’s really quiet. He has friends, but they’re a bit strange and they always play video games together. We’re probably different because we go to different schools and my parents don’t treat us as ‘the twins’, you know, as one person. Apart from our appearance, I think the only thing that is genetic is having poor sight. But then he wears thick glasses and I wear contact lenses!

Speaker 2 – Angela Martinez

Being adopted, I occasionally wonder where my character comes from. I get good grades at school and people say Chinese are good students and very determined. But then so are my adoptive parents. My dad and mom have a clothes shop in Madrid. I’ve learnt a lot from them. Also I want to be a doctor like my uncle and I know I have to study to do that. I sometimes get frustrated if things go bad and I get really angry. Both my parents are very calm and patient – they never shout. Maybe my anger is because of my genes – but my gran says it’s because I have no brothers or sisters and my parents are too liberal!
