10/19 Siblings

Talk about your siblings.

I am the oldest among my siblings. I have a younger brother and a younger sister. I'm three years apart with my brother. My sister and I have quite an age gap. She is eight years younger than I am. I'm very close with my young sister. She used to rely on me a lot when she was growing up. She came to me first when she had problems. We have always had a good chemistry. On the other hand, my brother and I have had some issues. We are very different in many ways. There are times when we have different views about family issues. But overall, we get along okay.

* the oldest among one’s siblings: 형제 중 첫째

@ Speaking Tips: chemistry  교감도, 코드
교감을 한다거나 코드가 맞는다는 말을 할 때 사용하는 단어가 chemistry이다. 말 그대로 두 사람 간의 화학 작용에 대해 묘사할 때 쓰는 말이다. '캐미'라는 말을 쓰곤 하는데, 이 단어에서 나온 말이다.


@ I'm the only child in the family나 외동이야.
