🔍 Step 1: Extract key facts from the story
Here’s what we know:
#### Shared (Both):
- Live at Number 16, Ashby Crescent.
- Have a red car which
they both drive.
- Have a pet dog (though only Mr. Davies walks it — so *owning* the dog is shared, *walking* it is not).
- Going on holiday to France this year.
- Their favourite food is steak frites.
>
✔ Note: Even though only Mr. Davies walks the dog, the story says “a pet dog which only Mr. Davies takes for a walk” — meaning they *both* own it. So owning the dog is a similarity.
#### Unique to Mr. Davies:
- Takes the pet dog for a walk.
- Likes to watch the game with his friends.
- Only knows English (Mrs. Davies can speak a bit of French).
#### Unique to Mrs. Davies:
- Enjoys cooking and baking on a weekend.
- Can speak a bit of French (Mr. Davies only knows English).
