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.
