I’ve got many friends, but I like Linda and Mary best of all. Linda and Mary are twins and they are supposed to be alike, but in fact they are as different as can be. Linda likes communicating with people, but Mary is usually afraid to start a conversation. Linda likes telling jokes and laughing and she believes everything will be okay even if she has problems. However, it can be difficult sometimes to be friends with Linda because she likes telling people what to do. In general, Mary is a much more pleasant person. She always gives wonderful expensive presents and she is ready to give a hand if her friends need help. She studies hard and has excellent marks, but she never boasts of her achievements. Surprisingly, Linda and Mary never quarrel with each other!
