If someone were to ask me who influenced me most in my life, I’d tell him or her that it’s my brother, Chris. My brother is one of the most 1 people in my life. I may not always act like it, but I look up to him and 2 him. When I think of everything he’s done for me, it’s hard not to 3 him. There are the basic 4 that most older brothers do. You know, they look after you, 5 you with your homework, and let you use their things. But my brother did a lot more for me. He was the one who taught me how to read and how to tie my shoes. He taught me how to hold my 6 underwater.
He even taught me how not to touch his things. He also did other big brother stuff (事情). Like shut me in the closet (储藏室), play tricks on me, “forbid (禁止)” me to 7 his things. But for each “mean” thing he did to me, he did about five 8 things. One nice thing he did was that he always let me hang around with him and his friends. Because of that, I have two brothers instead of one. My other “brother” is Chris’s best friend, Corey. They spent a lot of time together when they were younger, and since Chris was nice, I 9 got to do stuff with them. Since Corey was as much my brother as Chris was, of course they both pulled little 10 on me. But I must admit a lot of the tricks 11 because I was a slightly gullible (易受骗的) child. One that 12 comes to mind is when Chris and Corey 13 to make me believe that they were being sucked (吸入) into the ground.
I was so 14 about it that I went inside and told Mum that they were being sucked down. As I said, I was a slightly gullible child. Yes. We had some 15 times.

He even taught me how not to touch his things. He also did other big brother stuff (事情). Like shut me in the closet (储藏室), play tricks on me, “forbid (禁止)” me to 7 his things. But for each “mean” thing he did to me, he did about five 8 things. One nice thing he did was that he always let me hang around with him and his friends. Because of that, I have two brothers instead of one. My other “brother” is Chris’s best friend, Corey. They spent a lot of time together when they were younger, and since Chris was nice, I 9 got to do stuff with them. Since Corey was as much my brother as Chris was, of course they both pulled little 10 on me. But I must admit a lot of the tricks 11 because I was a slightly gullible (易受骗的) child. One that 12 comes to mind is when Chris and Corey 13 to make me believe that they were being sucked (吸入) into the ground.
I was so 14 about it that I went inside and told Mum that they were being sucked down. As I said, I was a slightly gullible child. Yes. We had some 15 times.

After knowing our story, he said, “Can you give me your phone number? Maybe I can send you a 7 before I arrive.” I exchanged my number with him at once.
Then began our 8 with Vince.
Recently, I said to him, “It’s my little boy’s birthday tomorrow. Could you please do 9 special for him?”
The next day, as I was standing 10 the road with Martin, we saw the green truck running down the street with a loud beep (嘟嘟声). Like a superman in a movie, Vince stopped and walked towards us with a box in his hand.
“Today is your birthday, Martin, and here’s a 11 .”
He handed the box to my son. Inside, there was a green model truck like 12 . My son, surprised, looked up happily and 13 him.
