Tape script:

It’s a

ctually 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

thing 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

intere

sts. 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.
