I have two older brothers, Matt and Martin. They love me very much. Perhaps it is because I am the    16    child and the only sister they have.
Both Matt and Martin have thick and dark hair. They look alike (相像) with    17    short hairdos (发型) and big eyes. They are also very tan (晒黑的) because they enjoy outdoor    18   . For example, Matt likes football and Martin is a tennis player. They are much taller than me and I always have to look up when I    19    to them. They both love to    20   , so Mum often says that they could eat a horse.
Their personalities (性格) are very    21   . Matt is very active and lively. He often takes part in club activities and gets along    22    with people. He also likes to play jokes on others, especially Martin! Sometimes Mum is not very    23    with Matt because he plays so much and does not listen to his teachers carefully when he is in class.
Martin, on the other hand (另一方面), is the quiet one. He is less active than Matt,    24    he has a really close group of friends. He also does well in his    25    because he works very hard on his studies. Mum never has to worry about Martin.
