Aria, James, Neil and Ashin all stood up and said their speech in front of the class this term. Here is Neil's speech, full of jokes!
Hey, James, can you please stand up?
Can you guess what my speech is about?
That's right - it's not easy being me. I am going to tell you why.
Being a twin AND cleaning the house AND leaning English is not easy.
It is not easy because we get the same present for our birthday, same shoes, same clothes.
People also call us the same name, maybe because we have the same face and maybe the same colour of skin and hair.
How would you feel if you get into trouble for something that your twin did, and that's why it is hard being a twin.
The next one I would like to talk about is cleaning the house.
Cleaning the house is really hard because I have to clean birds' poo and their cage. It takes 10 minutes to clean the cage.
And I hate cleaning my room! I have to pick up my toys, my clothes and make my bed, and also have to clean the disgusting smelly toilet. And I have to wash the dishes, and I wish I could play 'minecraft', not wash the dishes!!
I have to clean the shower and the lounge, it's really hard work!
I also have to clean the garage and the backyard. That's why it's not easy cleaning the house.
There is another thing that is hard being me. That is learning English.
Do you know how many words I have to learn?
Maybe a million!
People tell me things that I don't understand.
A ball to me is something to bounce. When I read about a girl going to a fancy dress ball - guess what? - I thought she is going to play with a bouncy ball!
Now you can see why it is hard being me. I have a twin, I have to clean the house and learn English.
If this keeps happening I will pull my hair out and scream like a girl!!!
Thank you.
