Question

Read the article and write out short characteristics of both sisters. I sometimes think that poor Cathy has spent all her e competing with me. She was a very quiet and shy child, while was very talkative-1 was awful I wasn't interested in studying all wanted to do was going to parties, and Cathy used to tell my parents So, I was horrible to her-used to bite her I was very jealous of Cathy also because she was more attractive than me. But she always defended me when other people criticised me, and sometimes it seemed as if she was the older sister and I was the younger one Although we were complete opposites, we were also very close and had a lot of fun together. We still do. I think I suffered because my father had left us when we were small, but Cathy helped me to understand that Dad loved us, but in a different way. She also taught me that I couldn't blame other people for my problems, I had to look at myself.
