It was Saturday again.Lily and Lucy disliked Saturdays.That was another thing the twins had in common.They shared the same clothes and tied their hair in the same manner.In fact，it was hard for their classmates and teachers to tell them apart sometimes.
Unlike their classmates，they had to get up early at seven every Saturday to prepare for their lessons.Lily had to attend the art lesson and Lucy had to attend her ballet lesson. "How I wish I could do something different today，" said the twins with one voice.All at once，an idea came to Lily and Lucy at the same time. "Do you have the same idea as me？" they asked each other and laughed.It seemed like a wonderful plan to them.After giving each other a description of their own friends，Lily put on Lucy's ballet dress while Lucy put Lily's brushes and paints into her bag.Then they left for their classes.
When the art lesson started，Lucy couldn't understand the art teacher.Unlike Lily，Lucy was poor at drawing.When the art lesson finally ended，Lucy didn't dare to hand in her work.
Meanwhile，Lily was struggling in the ballet class as well.As she had no idea about the dance steps，she had to follow her classmates blindly.As a result，she kept knocking into them.Their ballet teacher became impatient with her， "Lucy，you should remember the basic steps.You can't depend on copying what others are doing."
When Lily and Lucy arrived home，they were tired out.They decided that they would never try to be someone else that they were not.

Curry around the world
“Curry” is the English word used to describe meat or vegetables in a spicy, usually served with rice. It is believed that the word “Curry” comes from the Tamil word “kari”.
Curries have been very popular dishes in many Asian countries throughout history. Although curry is believed to come originally from India, it has been eaten in many other Asian countries—for thousands of years.
Today, curries are eaten all over the world. This tasty, spicy dish was brought to the West by British people from India in the 17th century.
What we call curry today is an international dish that is well known around the world. Over time and distance, the flavours of dishes change so that the people eating the dish will like it. For example, the most popular curry in restaurants in the UK is called chicken tikka masala. Many British people think this is an Indian dish. However, it is really a dish created by restaurants in the UK and is not a traditional Asian dish at all.
