I have an older sister.

She has gone to Austrailia for studying English since 6 years ago, and she married with an Australian.

She previously lived in Sydney, but now they built their home in Brisbane and she has been lived there.

She is 6 years older than me.

I often fought with her when we were young. In that case I was always scolded by my mother.
