Model Answer 1

Who is he/she?

I have a family of many people. Though we stay seperately, we meet and talk with our cousins very often. Most of my cousins, brothers, sisters are in their teenage. Today, I would like to talk about my 16-year-old cousin Olivia.

How do you know this teenager?

Olivia is my aunt’s daughter. We were staying together up until she was 13. After that, I had to relocate with my parents and sister due to father’s job location change. Olivia and I have practically grown up together. Besides being my cousin she was also a really good friend of mine. Hence, I had the chance to know her well. We shared a very deep and emotional connect too.

What does this teenager like to do?

Sixteen was a very important year for my cousin. She was preparing for her tenth board exams and was really nervous about it. She had been working very hard to score well in the exam and make her parents proud. I admired my cousin for her hard work. It is a quality that I lack, as I am more of a smart worker. Besides, being a hard worker Olivia loves to paint and loves spending time with her family. It is how we became such good friends. No matter her busy study schedule she would always take out the time to sit and chat with her family. It is a quality that many teenagers lack. Her maturity level always made me admire her even more. As she loves to paint she often used to go to visit the art exhibitions held in the city. I accompanied her sometimes as she pestered me to come along. I am not a fan of art but was appalled by her unique perspective for arts. She always said that she wanted to excel in academics as well as paint. It is a hobby that she looks forward to pursuing in the future.

How do you feel about this teenager?

I really liked Olivia due to her nature. Also, we had spend so much time together, it was no question that I would not like her. Being a teenager she is way mature for her age, which I admire the most about her. I always looked up to her and hoped that I could inculcate some of her qualities.

Model Answer 2

Who is he/she?

The teenage years are primal in any individual's life. Today, I would like to talk about my cousin Rihana.

How do you know this teenager?

She is not just my cousin but a very good friend of mine. Rihana is eighteen years old. She is three years younger than me. Our love for singing made us share a strong bond and a friendship that would last forever. Rihanna is my paternal aunt's daughter. Initially, we didn't interact much but when she was fifteen. I helped her study for her exams which led to sharing a strong friendship. She has just finished her school and is now preparing for her entrance exams.

What does this teenager like to do?

She once told me that she wanted to study overseas, as she wanted exposure. Rihana loves to code, and dance and loves designing outfits. She had started coding in high school. She has now learned programming languages like Python and Java. As she loves dancing she takes up classical dance lessons on the weekend. Besides, as she loves styling outfits, instead of shopping for outfits, she styles one outfit in different ways. She is good in academics as well as keeps a balance with extracurriculars. Additionally, she loves spending time with her family. As she is the eldest among her siblings she takes care of them and advises them when they are wrong.

How do you feel about this teenager?

I amply admire Rihanna for the many wonderful quotes she has. She's just eighteen but has a clear mindset about what she wants in life. Her life goals are pretty simple and clear. It is one of her best qualities which not many teenagers possess. She is a headstrong, intelligent and talented girl who will always remain more of a friend to me than a sibling.

Model Answer 3

Who is he/she?

The teenage years I believe are the most crucial and enjoyable in a person’s life. If I had to summarize my teenage years, they were nothing but years of hard work and healthy competition. It was what was expected from us by our parents. But when I look at my near cousins, nieces, and nephews. I am amazed by the balance they have between their academics and extracurriculars. Today I would like to talk about my nephew Rahul.

How do you know this teenager?

I have now known him for about nineteen years. I am two years older than him. As we do not have much of an age gap. I am more compatible and friendly to him than other teenagers in my family.

What does this teenager like to do?

Rahul is an intelligent, decent, and hard-working guy. Besides his academics, he loves playing football, basketball, and tennis in his free time. He has even won several medals and certificates for his excellence in sports. Not only is he excellent in sports but also was a topper in his class. He is now admitted to none of the top IITs in India, which was obvious given his excellent academic record. He is passionate about engineering and wants to travel the world. He always says that he would like to work in different regions of the world and gain experience and exposure. He is more of an idealist, thus, he always aims for things that would require immense effort and dedication. He wishes to work for NASA, and I am confident that he will one day succeed.

How do you feel about this teenager?

I absolutely admire his personality. He is headstrong and has a clear vision for his future. There are not many teenagers that are clear about their goals. His clarity, accepting, and open vision for his future and his passionate personality have made him become my favorite teenager in the family.
