I would like to talk about my brother Ming, who lives next door to my house, and I see him about three times a week. Ming is currently six years old and is attending primary school. Not only does he have chubby cheeks, but he also has sparkling eyes that make him look like a character straight out of a cartoon. Regarding his personality, he's not only self-reliant, but he's also conscientious. When he was five years old, he was doing some household chores like sweeping the floor. The reason why I love him is that he is so courageous and hospitable.
