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!
