DAILY STORIES
by Margarita Marcos
Today I’m writing this blog about my oldest sister, Sofia. She’s six years older than me. It’s her 
birthday today and she’s 21. She doesn’t live in the same house as my parents and me, but her flat is 
in the same street. We live at number 22 Spring Street, and she lives in one of six flats at number 28.
Sofia is the first person I go to when I have a problem, and she always tries to help. She also helps me 
with my English homework. We all speak Spanish at home, but Sofia speaks English really well too 
as a second language. She knows some English from school, but she also listens to English music 
and watches English films. Another thing she is great at is dancing. She’s teaching me the tango this 
week. Tango is really difficult, but I love the music and the dance.
My sister’s interested in everything. She loves learning about science on the internet, and she often 
reads
 
books about history in her free time. She also does
 
three sports: football, swimming and 
running. She enjoys them all and is good at swimming. She likes camping, and she’s learning
 
to play 
the piano at the moment, too. She can’t play very well yet, but she practises every day. She’s also 
planning to learn the violin. She’s a very active person! I really don’t know how she has time to do so 
many things!
