Describe a teenager you know.

You should say who or she is, what he or she looks like, how you got to know him or her, and why do you like him or her, and explain how you feel about him or her. I’m going to tell you about a family friend of ours named Edward. He is 16 years old and bright as can be. We have known him ever since he was six years old and I’ve enjoyed watching him transform into the young man he is today. Nowadays he’s even taller than me. I would say he’s almost six feet tall. He has a dark complexion and nearly black hair, now cut into one of those trendy styles with one side of it shaved. He’s blossoming into a handsome fellow.

Well, although there was a ten-year age gap in between his mother  and my mother, they immediately hit it off when they started working at a real estate agency together ten years ago. Their friendship continued to grow within the office until they decided to open their own brokerage about four years later. So our families have grown closer over the years. We often have meals together, visit each other during the holidays, and even vacation together some years. I really care for Edward because he has always been an honest, polite kid and a joy to be around.

He isn’t like the typical rebellious teenager who feels they’re too cool for everything and everyone around them. He always greets me with a hug and shows me a lot of respect. For this reason, I’ve really taken a liking to him. On another note, he is extremely hard-working and intelligent. We often get into deep conversations about the underlying meanings of popular music hits or the history of the world. We both share a love of history. Although I’m ten years older, I feel that Edward and I can still be friends. I cherish him and I always wish him the best. All in all, he’s like a little brother to me.
