Some people have an amazing memory for faces. My sister is one of them! She always remembers people, even if she met them years ago. When we go to the supermarket, she often says, "I know that person!" She can remember where and when she met them.
For example, last week, we were at a coffee shop, and she recognized the waitress. She said, "I met her at a concert five years ago." The waitress was surprised and happy!
My sister's ability to remember faces is very useful. She never forgets old friends, and she always makes people feel special. I admire her for that!
