Best friends
Beth and Gemma are cousins and they’re the same age. They are also best friends. They live in the same town and they are in the same class at school. But the girls are very, very different! Beth loves sports and she swims every day. She gets up at 5.00 a.m. and goes swimming before school. Then, after school she goes to the gym and swims again!

Gemma hates sports! She stays in bed every morning until 8.30 a.m. and at the weekend she stays in bed until 12.00! Gemma’s hobbies are shopping and parties! She goes shopping in town every Saturday afternoon with her friends and goes to a party on Friday nights. She goes to bed very late after the party! On Sundays she visits her brother and his wife.
