Lesson 28. Topic: Twin sisters.

Task 1. Read and translate the text.
Twin sisters.
The two sisters Lizzy and Lucy have their own successful business - a
flower shop which attracts customers by fresh and beautiful flower

bouquets for every occasion. The sisters have been nearly inseparable from
their early childhood and have felt happy and blessed with their friendship.
They were brought up by their mother, as their father died when they were
small.
They have been together all the time, sharing many hobbies and
interests and being an incredible source of support to each other. Lucy is

married to a wealthy manufacturer George. The couple lives a joyful life
raising their sweet daughter. Lizzy hasn't tied the knot yet.
One day when the sisters were busy arranging orders for
their permanent client's wedding, a stranger bought almost half of all the
flowers in the shop. T o their surprise, all of them were presented as a gift to
Lizzy. As the purchase was made online, they didn't know the buyer's
identity. In the evening Lizzy received an email from her former classmate

Theo, in which he was asking her for a date. She hadn't heard of him since
they left college. Theo was thought to have moved to Asia and settled there.
Lizzy gladly accepted his invitation, as they were good friends at college
and liked each other.
When talking to her mother that evening, Lizzy could hardly resist the
temptation of telling her about dating Theo, but decided to keep it

secret and stayed silent.
Lizzy and Theo met on Saturday morning and took a scenic day trip of
skating in the countryside. It was a perfect date that any girl could just
dream of. Not only Theo made her laugh a lot, but there was a romantic
spark between them. They had fun together and he went out of his way to
make her feel special and show his affection. The next day Lizzy told her
sister: "Theo is intelligent, honourable, honest and reliable, with such a

great sense of humour! I think I have found my Mr. Right!"
