There lived two twin brothers called Sam and Tom. They were twins, but they were different in some ways. Sam loved sweets and Tom loved to eat spicy food. Sam was mommy's pet and Tom was daddy's pet. While Sam was generous, Tom was greedy!

As they grew up, their father wanted to give his money to his two sons. He wanted to share his money equally. However, Tom did not agree. He wanted more money.

Their father had an idea. He decided to organize a competition between the two brothers. And he ordered the two sons to walk as long as they could. They should return home before sunset. Whoever covered the longer distance and returned home before sunset would get more money. They didn't carry watches to calculate time.

Both started to walk a long way during a sunny day. Sam walked slowly and steadily(穩(wěn)定地). Tom wanted to win over Sam, so he started to run faster.

It was noon and Sam decided to return so that he could reach home on time. However, Tom wanted to earn more money. He did not turn his way back home even in the afternoon. He kept walking on. Unfortunately, he could not get home before sunset. He lost the competition.

The Richmond family left their home in Cardiff two years ago. They went to live in Los Angeles. We asked them about the differences between their old life in Britain and their new life in the USA.

When we lived in Cardiff, I used to go to work by bus, and the kids used to walk to school. Now we go everywhere by car.

Mrs. Richmond

I didn’t use to be interested in baseball, but everyone is crazy about it here. I used to be a football fan, but now I watch baseball every Saturday.

Mr. Richmond

In Britain, we used to wear a school uniform. We don’t have to wear uniform here. It’s great. What else is different? Well, I didn’t use to swim much, but the weather is better here so I often go swimming now. And I never went roller-blading（輪滑）, but it’s really popular here.

Holly, aged 13

I used to think the English language was the same everywhere. But it isn’t. For example, I used to wear trainers（運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋）. Here I wear sneakers. We used to eat biscuits. Now we eat cookies. Crisps are called potato chips in the USA and chips are called fries.

Seb, aged 15
