A special connection

Beth and her twin sister Harriet are convinced that they are able to share experiences and feelings without seeing or speaking to each other. Here's what Beth says:

'Last year I was on a walking holiday with Harriet. She told me that her right ankle was hurting, but she didn't know why. She said she hadn't twisted it or anything, but told me she couldn’t put any weight on it. About a minute later, I suddenly felt a sharp pam in my right ankle! On another occasion, I told Harriet that I had watched a really good video clip on the internet the day before. I said that I would send her a link to the website where I'd found it. I told her she must watch it. Imagine my surprise when she said she had come across the same clip at the same time! She said that after she'd finished watching it, she had thought about sending me the link.

2. Read the essay. Does it mention any of your ideas from exercise 1? Which of the ideas in the essay do you think is best? Why?

If I had €1 million, it would be easy to find three good ways to use the money and help people who deserve it.

First of all, I would donate half of the money to the children's hospital in my town. They’re raising money to build bedrooms for visiting families.

Secondly, I would make a donation to my local primary school to buy sports equipment. As I see it, more sport at school would mean healthier children. Furthermore, the teachers would find it far easier to teach sports and PE if they had new equipment.

Finally, I would buy a new bike for my brother. He borrows mine all the time, even though he’s got one, because mine is better. If he had a new bike, he wouldn’t do that!

To sum up, I would use the money to make life better for the families of children in hospital, to improve facilities at my school and to buy a gift for my brother.
