MY SISTER JANNET

Janet, my elder sister, is 21. She does not look like me because she has blue eyes and fair hair, while my eyes are brown and I am dark-haired. She has a lovely fresh complexion and a beautiful mouth, with full lips, but she is short-sighted, so she wears contact lenses. She is quite tall and has a beautiful, slim figure. She is very smart and looks really attractive when she dresses up to go out with her boyfriend.

Janet is studying languages at the university and in summer she works for a travel agency. She can speak French and Spanish and now she is learning modern Greek. She always goes abroad for her holidays. Janet loves being with a crowd of people and when she goes abroad she talks to the local people and makes friends easily. She loves going to parties and eating out. She is good at games but never takes them seriously so when we play tennis I always win because she doesn’t care if she wins or loses.

Janet is very witty and amusing and she always cheers me up, when I am depressed because she has a wonderful sense of humour. I think her only fault is that she is restless and easily gets bored. She is an intelligent, hard-working person but she doesn’t get good marks at university because she doesn‘t study enough. I admire her because she is so bright and energetic but I think it is a good thing that her boyfriend is a calm, tolerant man and when she is impatient with him, he just laughs and then she laughs, too.

ABOUT MY RELATIVES AND MYSELF

My brother is 22 years old. He is of medium height and build, a bit stocky, but strong with it. He has long, curly fair hair. It is fashionable at the moment for men to grow their hair. His hair nearly reaches his shoulders. My mother is always telling him to get it cut. He doesn't take much care over his appearance so he often looks quite scruffy. He hates having to wear a tie for work. When he's at home he wears comfortable clothes such as T-shirts and jeans. He doesn't care very much what he looks like.

My other brother is much taller – towers above me, even though he is only 15. He does quite a lot of sport so he's quite strong and has well-developed muscles. He has straight brown hair, bluish grey eyes and a little nose.

He is clever and 1quiet and spends a lot of time at his computer. People sometimes think that he is morose and sullen but I don't think that's the case – he just prefers to think rather than to talk.

My mother turned 50 this year, although she doesn't look it. She has aged quite well I think. Only now is she beginning to show signs of old age – her hair has started to go grey and her skin is drier. She is also thinner – she used to have a tendency to put on weight She is quite tall – it's a characteristic of her side of the family. She is usually well-dressed. She is the sort of person who always looks quite smart – I'm the exact opposite – it doesn't matter how much time, money and energy I devote to my appearance, I usually look scruffy.

My father is quite short and a bit plump. I take after my father's side of the family. My father is nearly bald and the hair that remains is grey. He wears sensible, practical clothes most of the time, but for work he has to look smarter so he wears a suit and a tie and looks every inch a teacher. My father is not a pleasant man. He gets angry and loses his temper quite often.
