These are my mother, my father and my brother. Although they don t look like me, there are
many ways which we are similar. They’re trustworthy and they never tell each other lies.
Clothing is rather unimportant to them as them believe it’s what’s inside that counts. And the
best of all, they live in another country, so there’s no way we can bother each other.
