  1. I like the detail you have in your writing about your Aunty. The bit where you have said her hair is 'long brown straight hair with a fringe' gives me a good idea of what her hair looks like. You said she is short...it would help me to get a picture in my head if you said 'she is as short as......(maybe the fridge - ow whatever" so I could picture her height. Great work with show not tell writing.
