My brother, Kyle, is the laziest person I know. Kyle is younger than me but he’s also much taller than me. He’s tall enough to be a basketball player. The teachers at school want Kyle to play for the school basketball team but Kyle is not competitive enough. During a game, the other students chase the ball but Kyle says he’s too tired to run. Kyle thinks he is not talented enough to play basketball but I think he’s more talented than most of his friends. Maybe he is not as good as a professional player, but with a bit of work, he can be the best basketball player at school. It’s a shame he doesn’t want to try.
