Reading / Leitura - Chinese Sign

What's up? (Como vão?) 

Você conhece os Signos Chineses? A Astrologia Chinesa, diferente da ocidental, é baseada no calendário lunar. A passagem do tempo  é medida em ciclos de sessenta anos nos quais doze animais aparecem, em cinco diferentes anos.  Para os chineses, cada animal infuencia as pessoas que nascem naquele ano e herdam traços de personalidade desse animal (tanto boas quanto más). 

  

I think I'm not like the description. But I located the sign of some friends and it likes very similar to what they are. What about you? Tell us! (If possible, in English).

Eu acho que não pareço com o descrito. Mas eu encontrei o Signo de alguns amigos e parece muito com o que eles são. E você? Conte-nos! (Se possível, em inglês).
