 I have a brother. He is very good at me. His name is Riski Kurniawan. As
generally a brother, my brother and I almost look similar. We both have curly
and short hair. My brother also has the same nose as I do. However, although,
my brother and I look similar, I had a bit of differences. He has a white color
while I have brown skin color. My brother is about 5 cm higher than me. His
height is approximately 170 cm. The difference of our age is little. He is 23
years old while I am 20 years old. Perhaps that makes us closer one another.
Many people regard us that we are twins. But I think we are a little
difference. For example: my brother doesn’t like durian. He hates that fruit.
Even just smell it could make him vomit. But I really love the durian. He loves
football while I love basketball. And also, my brother is very quiet person when
at home while I am an active person who is always moving to seek attention.
My brother is very kind to me. He always teaches me new things like
swimming, riding motorcycles and much more. As the oldest child, he wants
me to be a successful person. He always supports me every day. My brother is
a smart child; he always gets good mark in school. It is inversely proportional to

 An aurora is a natural light display in the sky particularly in the high latitude
(arctic and antarctic) regions, caused by the collision of energetic charged particles
with atoms in the high altitude atmosphere (thermosphere). The charged particles
originate in the magnetosphere and solar wind are directed by the earth`s magnetic
field into the atmosphere. Most auroras occur in a band known as the aurora zone
which is typically 3 to 6 in latitudinal extent and at all local times or longitudes.

as the sunlit sky.

aurora australis (or the south lights), has almost identical features to the aurora
borealis and changes simultaneously with the changes in the northern auroral zone
