TEXT:

Hi, Nadine!

I'm Helen. I'm 14. I've got a sister. Her name is Anna. We are very different but we got on very well together. She likes staying at home in the evening and watching T.V but I prefer going out with my friends. We like going to clubs or the cinema.

My sister is taller than me but we are both plumb. People say I look like my sister. We have blue eyes and long fair hair. However, our personality is different. She's very quiet and fearful but I'm more sociable.

How about you? Have you got a sister or a brother? What are your similarities and differences?

Kisses

Helen.
