My cousins Joanne and Mary couldn’t be more different. First, Joanne is a total nonconformist. For onething, Joanne’s appearance is bizarre. For example, her hair is partially shaved and dyed pink, and she’s

covered in tattoos. In addition, her favourite clothes are ripped and have pictures on them of things like

skulls. Furthermore, Joanne has a wild personality. For instance, she’ll do outrageous things, like the

time she got her nose pierced. Another time, she hitchhiked to San Francisco at 2:00 a.m. Finally, when

it comes to interests, Joanne is really into music. She plays the guitar in a punk rock band, and she loves

to go to clubs and concerts to check out other bands. In contrast, Mary is the total opposite of Joanne.

For one thing, Mary’s appearance is very conservative. For instance, her naturally blond hair is usually

in a ponytail, and her favourite clothes are sweats or a soccer uniform. Unlike Joanne, Mary is the type

of person who likes to follow the rules. For example, she’s never missed a day of school, and she can be

relied on to be the designated driver any time she goes out to a party. Finally, Mary is a jock. She plays

almost every sport, but soccer is her favourite. When she’s not playing sports, she’s watching them on

television or in person. Truly, if I didn’t already know that Joanne and Mary are cousins, I would never

guess that they’re related to each other because they’re complete opposites.
