Hi，my name is Evan and being the eldest child in the family surely has its disadvantages．First of all，I have to share all my toys and games with my younger Siblings，William and Julia．Of course，they don't need to return the favour because I'm totally uninterested in their things．Besides that，Julia and William are always hanging around me．It's especially annoying when I have a friend over．We look for a secluded place in the house where they can't disturb （打扰） us，but within minutes，they've found us and are asking to join in．I just can't seem to get a moment's peace．At meal times，I have to eat whatever is on my plate regardless of the portion size or taste．William and Julia only need to try one bite when it's not their favorite food．Not only this，but I'm expected to be cooperative （合作的，配台的） at all times because I'm the oldest and need to be a role model for them．
