[00:00.20]My Friends|[00:02.32] Two of my best friends are named John and Jane.|[00:06.04] John and Jane are related to each other.|[00:09.16] In fact, they are brother and sister.|[00:11.58] Not only are they brother and sister,|[00:14.01] but they are also twins.|[00:16.62] Their mother gave birth to them|[00:18.49] only a few minutes apart.|[00:20.73] I first met John and Jane|[00:23.09] when we were only five years old.|[00:25.21] We went to kindergarten classes at the same school.|[00:28.75] Because the house where John and Jane lived|[00:31.61] was close to my family's house,|[00:33.54] I often walked to school with John and Jane.|[00:36.46] When we weren't at school,|[00:38.21] John and Jane and I often played together.|[00:41.57] Sometimes, we would play sports and games.|[00:44.55] Sometimes, we would play in the forest,|[00:47.10] looking for birds and animals.|[00:49.03] On rainy days, we would stay inside,|[00:51.46] and play with toys and dolls.|[00:53.51] On warm summer days, we would go swimming|[00:56.37] in the lake that was near the place where we lived.|[00:58.99] I often visited John and Jane at their house.|[01:02.53] On many occasions, I had lunch at their place.|[01:05.52] John and Jane's parents were very nice to me.|[01:09.31] Of course, John and Jane often visited my house too.|[01:13.60] My parents enjoyed it|[01:15.41] when John and Jane came over for lunch.|[01:18.33] When I became older,|[01:20.07] I remained friends with John and Jane.|[01:22.31] Sometimes, we would study|[01:24.30] or do our school homework together.|[01:26.11] Sometimes, we worked at the same part-time jobs,|[01:29.65] to make extra money.|[01:31.40] We often helped each other in various ways.|[01:34.44] Sometimes, I did a favour to help John or Jane,|[01:37.68] and sometimes they did favours to help me.|[01:41.22] Eventually, when we grew up,|[01:43.52] I moved to a different town.|[01:45.45] Both John and Jane also moved to different places.|[01:49.25] But I am still good friends with John and Jane.|[01:52.98] Two years ago, I went to Jane's wedding,|[01:56.03] and last year, I went to John's wedding.|[01:58.77] I think I will probably always be friends with John and Jane.|[02:03.37] Having friends is very nice.|[02:05.98] I am very lucky to have had good friends|[02:09.03] such as John and Jane.
