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, and we have different personalities(性格) and our lifestyles(生活方式) 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 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 are both heavy.
We also have opposite personalities. She is always nervous. I am calmer(更沉着的) and more outgoing. She is always worried about what other people think and say about her. But I don't really care. When she has a problem, she just worries about it. But when I have a problem, I try to work it out. She easily gets angry, especially with our mother. But I'm more patient(有耐心的).
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.
