Our Cousin and Your Aunt

Our cousin, Sophie, lives in a different city, but we see her often during family reunions. Sophie is studying medicine, and she plans to become a doctor. She is very intelligent, but she’s also funny and outgoing. Whenever she visits, she tells us about her life at the university and the people she meets. We love spending time with her because she always has new and exciting stories.

Sophie is very close to your aunt, Maria. They share a special bond and often spend time together. Aunt Maria is a generous and supportive person. She loves helping others, and she always encourages Sophie in her studies. Whenever we visit Aunt Maria, she prepares a delicious meal for us, and we all sit together to share stories and laugh.
