My elder brother is fond of fantasy and adventure stories. He is so keen on literature, he can read for hours. He often learns poems by heart.

Peter has a keen sense of humour. And he is curious about everything.

My brother likes to find out something interesting about the authors of the books he is reading. He possesses a talent for writing short stories.

Text №2 «My Sister Helen» (for upper-intermediate)

I have a little sister. Her name is Helen. She is 6 years old.

Helen is fond of reading. She always reads for pleasure. She enjoys colourful pictures. When she looks through funny books, I see a happy expression on her face.

When she comes across something unusual, she never holds back her emotions. She always gives way to joy and excitement.

My sister is very curious. I’m often amused by her questions.

And my sister is very kind. Sad stories arouse sympathy in her.
