I love my grandfather
I love my grandfather more than anyone in the world. He’s not the tipe of
person that would catch your eye. But when you meet him, you’ll imagine why
I feel the way I do. Unlike other people his age, he was very open minded.
You would think that he’s the young person trapped in an old
person’s body. I find it very easy to talk to him about almost
anything. He’s always got a good piece of advice to me. He’s
incredibly socaible and loves meeting new people. He’s also
very active for someone his age. He is spending lots of time
working out in a gym – the same one I go to.
