My Cousin and I

Yesterday was my younger cousin’s birthday, and I called to celebrate her 23rd birthday. We talked for a long time and the past life was in our memory again. She lived in my home for 5 years because her parents were very busy. Can you believe that we slept in the same bed and sometimes wore the same style clothes? We did many things together. We have many similarities; both of us like to watch movies, go shopping, read books, and talk about anything with each other. So my mother always asks us: “Why do you have so many words to talk?” However she has some different aspect from me. She likes to play sports, but I don’t like it very much. Her character is very lively, whereas I’m a little quiet. We compared to the similarities and difference between us for the first time yesterday. We found that very interesting, and maybe that is why we were very good cousins and the best friends.

At first glance, my cousin and I have many things in common. First of all, both of us like to watch movies, especially romantic movies. In addition, she likes to go shopping and read books which is similar to me. When we went shopping, we always gave some advise to each other. I like to read San Mao’s books, who is a Taiwanese writer. My cousin likes to read poems. We always talked to each other about our books. The most interesting point was we liked to talk about our life, our dreams, our friends, and secrets about our life.

On the other hand, she is different from me. She likes to play tennis, swim, and ride bike, but I rarely play sports. I was terrible to build muscle. Also her character is very lively. She likes to talk to other people, she likes to make friends with many kinds of people, and she always is full of energy. On the contrary, I’m a little quiet, and I don’t like to talk with many people. Most of the time, I like to read books alone. I like to communicate with different kinds of people, but that was just idle chitchat. This was different from my cousin.

In conclusion, after we talked yesterday, we found there are many similarities and differences between us. Although right now we do not live together, but we have a big plan that we will take a trip around the world. We are the best cousins, friends, and partners. So it must become true in the future!
