5 Read the text and say how the family and friends try to help Emma and Katie.

We're Both Average Teenage Girls

Twins¹ Emma and Katie have cerebral palsy² that's worsening with age. It means they rely on wheelchairs 90 per cent of the time. However, there is a treatment that could change their lives and so, with family and friends, they're working hard to raise the 85,000 pounds it will cost. This is what Emma, one of the sisters says... "We've always known that we have this illness but Mum and Dad never made a big deal of it. They always made sure that we were involved in all the things that our friends and classmates were doing, so we never really felt any different."

We're both average teenage girls, studying for our GCSEs¹. We enjoy the same things that other girls our age do, such as going to the cinema, fashion and playing sport — Katie plays Wheelchair Basketball — but people often see the disability before they see us as people. Because of our health problem, people our age sometimes don't invite us to do things. This can be incredibly² difficult when all you want to do is have the options that your peers have.

We are hoping that the operation will change our lives forever, giving us greater mobility and no daily pain that we feel now. It's hard to explain how it feels to have lived all your life one way and then to be told that there is something out there that can change everything — your ambitions and even how you see your future.

Since we found out about the operation, our family and friends have created the Twins Appeal to raise the 85,000 pounds we need to travel to St Louis Hospital, Missouri, USA to have the operation and pay for the two years of treatment we'll need on our return. Our schoolmates have organized numerous events to help us to achieve our dream, including skydives and fun days. Also, Greg, our younger brother and his friends, organized a sports competition in triathlon which raised nearly 1000 pounds but we still have a long way to go until we reach our final aim.

Our Mum, Dad and brother, along with all our family and friends are working hard to make our dream a reality as soon as possible, which is something we will be grateful for. We both think that the future will be much better for us. For the first time we'll be independent and it will open up far more choices to us.

Семья и друзья пытаются помочь Эмме и Кэти, собирая деньги на их операцию. Они создали фонд "Twins Appeal", чтобы собрать 85 000 фунтов стерлингов, необходимых для лечения. Их одноклассники организовали множество мероприятий, включая прыжки с парашютом и дни развлечений. Их младший брат Грег с друзьями также организовал спортивное соревнование. Вся их семья усердно работает, чтобы как можно скорее воплотить мечту девочек в реальность.
