Last week, I went into town to buy a birthday present for my elder sister. You couldn’t meet a more wonderful person than her. She is one of the most charming and funniest women I know. She is also the most generous person I’ve ever met. The worst thing is that she has a quicker temper than me. Mother says she could also be a bit tidier than she is. Anyway, the present I wanted to buy her had to be the best I could afford. Eventually, I came across the most beautiful scarf I had ever seen. It was longer than the one she already had and much more colourful. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered the next day that mother had bought her exactly the same scarf.
