People Cards:
It’s actu ally quite hard for me to choose just one member of my family as I feel close to all o them, but I get on very well with my younger sister, Sara, so I’ll talk about her. Um… she’s 18 months younger than I am, but we are very similar in personality. We’re both outgoing and … quite noisy. And we enjoy the same things … um… the same books … er … the same music, even the same friends. Um… on the other hand, we’re totally different in looks. She’s much taller than I am , even though she’s younger. Er… another th ing is that I have dark hair while she has fair hair. I also have slightly darker skin that hers. Um… with her fair skin, she has freckles, which I don’t, of course. I suppose the reason that we’re close is because we share the same character and interests. In my opinion, that’s why it is important in a relationship – to have things like that in common. And I think we’re close because we’re nearly the same age as each other and we grew up doing things together. Appearances and Personalities:
