My sister and I are very different. When people meet us both, they are always surprised to learn that we are sisters. This is because we don’t look like each other, we have different personalities(性格），and our lifestyles are different.
Do you resemble your brother or sister? My sister and I don’t resemble each other at all. I am tall，but she is very short. I have short dark brown hair and green eyes. She has long blonde hair and blue eyes. I am strong, but she is not. I have big hands and feet; her feet and hands are very small.
When we were kids, she was thin, but I was heavy. Now we're both heavy. We also have opposite personalities. She is always stressed out. I am calmer and more outgoing. She is very worried about what other people think and say about her, but I really don’t care. When she has a problem, she just worries about it, but when I have a problem, I try to fix(解决）it. She easily gets angry，especially with our mother. But I am more patient.
Our lifestyles are very different. I love old things and hardly ever go shopping. But she goes shopping twice or more a week. I have cats. She has a dog. I read. She watches TV.
