This episode is called “Being Alike and Different.” It’s a dialogue between Fabian and Clarissa; their dialogue is about different personalities. It’s going to give you a lot of good vocabulary to talk about someone’s personality. Let’s get started.

Fabian: Oh, your babies are adorable. They’re like two peas in a pod.

Clarissa: They may look like mirror images of each other, but they’re nothing alike. They each have their distinct personalities. Randy likes to sleep during the day and Dominic likes to sleep at night.

Fabian: That’s like my babies at home.
