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 (clever; intelligent) as can be. We have known him ever since 
he was 6 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 
6 feet tall. He has a dark complexion and nearly black hair, now cut into one of 
the trendy styles with one side of it shaved. He’s blossoming into (changing 
into; like a flower) a handsome fellow (another word for boy or man).
Well, although there was a 10 year age gap in between his mother and my 
mother, they immediately hit it off (liked each other immediately) when they 
starting work at a real estate agency together 10 years ago. Their friendship 
continued to grow within the office until they decided to open their own 
brokerage (real estate company) about 4 years later. So, our families have 
grown close 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 
are 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 have 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(hidden) meanings 
of popular music hits or the history of the world- we both share a love of history. 
Although I’m 10 years older, I feel that Edward and I can still be friends. I
