Sisters

Todd: So, Santi, we're talking about family this week and you have a sister, correct?

Santi: Yes, a sister.

Todd: Now, what's kind of unique about your sister is you both are similar in age and you go to university together, correct?

Santi: Yes, only two years younger than me.

Todd: So, yeah, you are 22?

Santi: Twenty-two.

Todd: She's twenty.

Santi: Yes.

Todd: What's it like going to university with your sister?

Santi: It's kind of like difficult because I have to take care of her, but it's also fun because you can share things with her.

Todd: Yeah, what do you mean, like, you have to take care of her?

Santi: Well, I'm in my fourth year right now, so I'm kind of like ... not busy, so whatever she wants to have for dinner, I have to cook.

Todd: Really, you cook for her?

Santi: Yes. Yes, she's my sister. I'm a good sister.

Todd: That's very nice. So what kind of things to you cook for your sister?

Santi: Basically Chinese food or lunch packets for her, for like tomorrow.

Todd: You make your sister a lunch to take to school?

Santi: Yes.

Todd: That's like a mother.

Santi: Yes.

Todd: Wow. That's care and devotion.

Santi: Well, I said before I'm a good sister.

Todd: Wow. I guess so. Now when you first went to university, did you think your sister would join you - would go to the same university?

Santi: No. I don't think so because, well, she's very good at chemistry and she's also good at science, so I'm hoping that she will go a different directions than me, but, well, I don't know, maybe my mother trusts me, and then my mother led her to me.

Todd: What about similarities and differences? How would you say you and your sister are similar?

Santi: My voice and her voice. It's totally the same.

Todd: Really?

Santi: Yes.

Todd: So if your sister was here doing audio work, I wouldn't be able to tell who was who.

Santi: Yes. It's true.

Todd: Wow.

Santi: Sometimes we like to play with people on the phone. It's kind of like bad but whenever her friends call, I will pretend that I was her.

Todd: Really.

Santi: And vice-versa.

Todd: That is a funny joke. So what is something that's different? Like how are you different? Obviously she's good in science.

Santi: Yeah, and, well, the appearance is different. She has darker skin, and then she's very slim.

Todd: You are very slim, too.

Santi: Thank you.

Todd: Are you the same height?

Santi: No. I'm taller.

Todd: OK. So you really are the big sister.

Santi: Yes, that's true.

Todd: You look down on her.

Santi: Yes. Sometimes.

Todd: So do you guys fight very much, or do you usually get along?

Santi: Uh, during my childhood - yes - but now - no - we just ... well, we know the limits. We know that we are ready beginning to be adults, so I don't think that fight is kind of like popular anymore.

Todd: Right, so you guys are like two peas in a pod.

Santi: Yes.
